I know that most of my notes are about being in relationships, so here's to those that are single!
So you envy the lovey-doveyness that your friends are having when you're around them and wish you had someone there for you to do that with? Well, it isn't rocket science that people are constantly looking for their significant other but sometimes they forget (or take for granted) the advantages of being single. Here are a few perks you should think about before feeling envious:
This is a pretty big and obvious one that single people always look past. You see your friends having a good time with each other but when they're alone, you don't know the problems that happen behind the scenes. Little disagreements here and there add up and build up to arguments that neither of the couple want to deal with. Don't just look at the exterior cover of a couple, trust me, there is always a dark side to it.
No doubt you will save a lot of money from not having to go out to a lot of dinners, movies, and other coupley activities that dry out your wallet as you may have to pay for both people. But hey, don't go and spend every dollar you have on drinks and partying just because you're not in a relationship. Control your finances so that when you're actually in a relationship, you'll have some left to spend on him or her ☺.
I can vouch for this one. When you're in a relationship, you tend to gain a bit of weight from all the restaurant dinners. Juggling between work, your personal time, and her, you just have less time and energy to keep fit (That's my excuse anyway). When you're single, you can work out because you have the time and energy, as well, keeping fit helps to impress any potential mates ツ. Respect to people in relationships who can fit exercising into their schedule. It ain't easy.
Enjoy what free time you have because once you're in a relationship, all that time is going to be spent on him/her. Single people will say they have too much free time while couples will say they need more time. It just never works out to be the perfect balance. So cherish the free time before it's too late!
No commitment means you can flirt whoever you want (just don't go and ruin other people's relationships lol). When you're in a relationship, you may be talking to someone and they might be misled into thinking that you're flirting with them. If your boyfriend/girlfriend finds out, they might be uncomfortable with it which will lead to nothing but problems. When you're single, you're free from all this. No worrying about who you can't and can hang out or talk with.
There are a ton more reasons that I haven't listed yet but perhaps I will when I think of them and post them as part 2 to this note. But remember, there's always a positive side to everything (well most things anyway, but being single definitely has its perks). It's just that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Just because everyone has a significant other (for now), doesn't mean you need one too (for now). Who knows, maybe in a year or two, you'll be the one on the other side. For now, enjoy the freedom and benefits of being single!
