Enjoy Being Single

By Shelly Davidson

You're at the mall hearing laughter and people chatting all around you. Couples are everywhere, holding hands and smiling. How did they meet, you wonder. At the grocery store, in the Laundromat, or perhaps on an internet dating site?

Whatever the case, inside you wish that it was you that were a part of a twosome. Rest assured that everyone has felt this way at one point or another in their life. There are still many who happen to still feel this way. They wonder why it is that they have yet to find the special someone. It seems to be a healthy part of nature. You grow up, go to school, get a job and fall in love.

Nor have you gotten married or had children like you had planned. It would seem that Life has a plan of its own for you. But don't despair! You can't give up. Keep a positive attitude because it's only a matter of time, and timing, before you meet someone to spend the rest of your life with.

In the meantime it's important that you live your life to the fullest. While you're single, take advantage of the situation by doing things that you might not be able to do if you were part of a twosome.

1.Travel at a moment's notice. Let's say you have friend who has an extra ticket to a major event, but you have to travel out of town to get there. As a single person, you can go without feeling as though you have hurt someone's feelings.

2. Since you're not part of a twosome, you can date as many people, and as often, as you'd like. While you're narrowing down your list of "must have" and "would like" you get to know people that wouldn't have a chance of meeting up with if you were attached.

3. You don't have to share your living and sleeping space. Nor do you have to share the TV remote and no one hogs your blankets. You can please yourself with music and stay up as late as you want.

4. You don't have to call home if your plans for the evening change suddenly. You're free to accept party or dinner invitations without having to consider anyone else but yourself.

5. Though this will depend on your budget, you can cook or eat out as often as you'd like. Pleasing yourself also holds true for tidying up and cleaning, though I'm not suggesting you let your place become a dump.

Sure, the above points may sound selfish, but knowing what you can do when you're single will help you adjust you mindset after you become involved with someone. When you do meet someone special, chances are you won't mind so much about having to let someone know where you are and what you're doing.

It could also help you make the decision as to whether or not you are ready to date at all. Dating when with the right person can be an amazing experience, but you should try to enjoy and make the most of your single life while waiting to meet the love of your life. - 32510
