Are you fresh off of a breakup or maybe you have been dateless for months? Don’t beat yourself up about it or wallow in self-pity. Instead, celebrate being single with these 10 great perks:
1. You don’t have to check in with anyone. You can go out and do whatever you want with whomever you want and don’t have to feel that you have to check in and let anyone know what you’re up to or when you’ll be home.
2. You don’t have to compromise on whose friends to hang out with.You get to have fun with your friends any night you want instead of alternating between your group and his/hers.
3. You can flirt with whomever you want. Or give your number to anyone you want, or shamelessly check out whoever you want - without feeling guilty!
4. You don’t have to fake an interest in their hobbies. In a relationship it’s important to be supportive of each other’s interests, even if you secretly think they’re boring or kind of lame. When you’re single you don’t’ have to listen to anyone talk about fly fishing or stamp collecting if you don’t want to.
5. Regular time with your friends. Hanging out with your friends doesn’t have to be a novelty. When you’re in a relationship you are splitting your time between your friends, his/her friends, plus trying to have alone time as a couple, meaning seeing your own friends can be a rare occurrence. When you’re single you can hang out with your peeps all the time.
6. Opposite sex friends. You can have friends of the opposite sex without having to explain yourself or justify it to anyone or worrying about making your boyfriend or girlfriend jealous.
7. Selfish weekends. Weekends are precious. Between date nights, supporting them at their volleyball tournament/watching their band play/helping them babysit their kid sister your weekend can be gone in the blink of an eye. When you’re single you get to blissfully enjoy your entire weekend doing whatever you want.
8. Unabashed chick flicks/sports watching. No more suffering through their movie picks or yet another boring game that you aren’t interested in. You get to pick 100% of what you watch in your downtime.
9. No coordinating schedules. You can take any shift at work that you want without worrying about how it fits into someone else’s schedule. The same goes for studying, spending time with your family or anything else you want to do.
10. No pressure to look good. You can go a week without shaving your legs or let your goatee grow out without anyone getting close enough to complain about it. Sometimes being lazy just feels good!
