We live in a circle of living. In a season we have a very perfect life and extra good things happened to us. Then the next season, all that excitement and happiness are gone, especially with our relationship. The end of a relationship is inevitably a hard time for both parties involved and you can often find yourself wondering ‘what am I going to do now?’
There are many positive aspects of being in a relationship, but being single doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom and it is a time when you can do what you like, all for yourself. When you do find yourself a partner and settle down, gone will be the days when you can be totally self-centered and spontaneous. So make sure that you fill your single days with things that you really want to do, or couldn’t do before. Single life can be the most exciting time so check out why some of people are single and loving it.
Sleep like a starfish
What could be more delightful than nude spooning with your man as you float off to sleep? Having the complete bed to yourself, that's what. Spooning is okay for the first minute, but it's not so good when you in fact want to get some sleep and his arm starts squashing your boobs, randomly exploring, or you start getting a dead arm but dare not move for dread of unsettling him. There is also that added snoring in the ears. Now stretch out and sprawl.
Everything remains clean
One of the enjoyable things about being single is knowing that after the apartment is clean and tidied, it will remain that way, until YOU mess it up. No longer will you find that the washing machine or the clothes dryer is an extra drawer for forgotten garments. Or the bathroom has become a complete wet room, despite there being a bath mat (what do they do in there!) and the toilet seat will always be where you want it to be: Down! There won’t be piles of plates or stacks of glasses in the sink waiting to be magically placed into the dish washer by some unknown fairy.
Spend hours in the bath…
Without being impertinently interrupted with the words, ‘Are you done in there? I need the toilet!’ For the ideal single girl's bath-time extravagance, you will need: one bottle of fragrant bubble bath, one novel or stash of magazines, one glass of wine and one waterproof radio or your MP4. Now lie back, relax and bliss out in peace.
Be bad
Now, we aren’t suggesting that you go and break the law by carrying out some obscene offence here, but do something that will make you feel young and very much carefree. Whereas some men play the bad boy next to their girlfriend, the majority of men are typically required to tame up when they are in a relationship, so when they are single, they go crazy; it's time to be debaucherous and sinful just like them.
Habits
Being single means that you invariably don’t have to deal with someone else’s irritating habits. You know the ones we are talking about: leaving the toilet seat up, missing the toilet, personal hygiene, being ignored due to the passing 'hottie' and having important dates forgotten. The list goes on and we are sure that we don’t have to mention the others as you are well aware of them. So give your patience a well-earned break.
Other relatives
Another benefit of being single is that you don’t have to deal with your other half’s relatives. While it can be great to have a large support system at times and a big extended family, it is usually just an added headache that we would rather not have to deal with. Breathe a sigh of relief that you don't have to deal with them anymore.
Male friends
Now that you are single you will be able to reconnect your old male friends, which you may not have seen as often as when you were in a relationship. Girlfriends are great to have around and are irreplaceable, but sometimes it’s good to be one of the boys. You won’t have to constantly defend yourself and explain who your friends are and that NOTHING is going on and that they are just friends.
Take yourself out on a date
One of the great things in regards to being single is that you can be entirely selfish without offending anybody. So use the day doing the things YOU want to do. Have a lie-in in the morning and stay in bed, go for lunch with the girls, or to see a chick flick at the movies, watch trash TV, go to the hairdresser, take as long as you like or need to get ready to go out, or try on the total contents of your favorite clothes shop. Love thy self!
Getting to know someone new
Meeting someone new and getting to know them is a thrilling experience and one of the world’s exciting mysteries. What will they be like? What is sexy about them? Will they be good when you get intimate? If you are even just a little bit fascinated by people then you will undoubtedly find that dating has an intoxicating and invigorating appeal.
