you would like to spend your free time. And people are giving
you looks of horror about your singlehood, otherwise known as
freedom?
5. You are exciting, you are intriguing, even if you don’t think
you are. People assume your life is just like that of a character in
the movies. If you don’t believe me, ask any married person with
kids what he or she did for dinner the last two nights. Chances
are he or she is too exhausted to remember. Every day for you
can be an adventure, or it can be lled with reading books and
gaining knowledge to throw out at cocktail parties. You can
make your life as interesting as you want it to be. Now doesn’t
that feel good?
6. Every outing has the potential to be fabulous and fun; you
never know whom you might meet. It could be going out with
friends or on your own. While going solo might seem weird or
uncomfortable the rst time you do it, if you go to an organized
event and make an eort to talk to people, you might surprise
yourself. It also makes you very approachable for someone who
nds you interesting. If you always travel in a group, it can be
intimidating for someone to try to chat with you.
7. People pay attention to you. Talk to any of your married
friends; they always nd your life interesting. ey remember
the days when people irted with them and their concerns were
not married people dilemmas, which often focus on dishes and
diapers. Whether it is true or not, they see your life as lled with
possibilities and the freedom to do as you please.
So while you might get annoyed or upset when people look at
you as if being single is synonymous with being a leper, it’s not, it
just means you are fabulous and enjoying your life.
e reality of your singlehood is the following: You have
something to look forward to because if you do want to nd
a life partner, statistically speaking, the odds are in your favor.
At some point the right person will surprise you, and then you
might have a wedding or some sort of celebration to plan. So
your future looks bright. You should enjoy every moment of being
single – because even if it feels never-ending, it’s not going to
last forever.
