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?
Just about now you’re wishing that you were part of a twosome. You’re not alone; almost everyone has felt this way at one point or another. Along with this wish they wonder why they haven’t found that special someone yet. Because that’s the way things are supposed to go, right? You go to school, start a career, fall in love.
After the falling in love part comes marriage and the baby carriage; or so you thought. Life seems to have other plans for you, but don’t give up! By keeping a positive attitude, it’s really just a matter of time before you meet someone to call your own.
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 get your whole living (and sleeping) space to yourself. No sharing the remote, no one hogging the blankets. You can stay up and sleep in as late as you want, and play the music you want whenever you want.
4. Accept party invitations or happy hour events at anytime without having to call to let your partner know where you are for the evening.
5. You don’t have to cook and can eat out as much as you please. Also, you can keep your place as neat or as sloppy as you like.
Although many of these things mention above may sound selfish, they are things to consider when dating. Knowing that you can do what you want when being single and knowing this changes slightly when you are involved could help one know that life does change and help them to adjust themselves accordingly. This way, when you do finally meet that special someone you might be more willing to inform them of your whereabouts.
Reflecting on these points can also help you decide whether you really do want to be attached to one person for the rest of your life. It can be a wonderful experience, but it’s not for everyone. So make the most of your single life while you’re looking for The One.
