- Just because you miss having a partner doesn’t mean you need one.
- There is so much freedom and confidence that comes with making decisions for yourself without having to think how it affects a significant other.
- Just because someone looks good on paper doesn’t mean he/she is your person.
- It can get boring. And lonely at times.
- You experience mixed emotions just as if you are in a relationship with someone else. The relationship you have with yourself is just as emotional, if not more.
- No matter how hard you try, someone’s feelings get hurt. Try not to be reckless with someone else’s heart. And forgive yourself if you do.
- You learn about all the things you don’t want in a relationship when observing other couples.
- Your goals catch fire in the best way.
- Being single gives you so much confidence. You question less and get really clear on who or what you want in your life.
- Singledom is necessary before meeting your husband/wife.
- Your happiness meter is solely based on you.
- You are forced to take a look under the hood which means you learn oh so much about your own strengths and struggles.
- Every single person is terrified of being vulnerable. You just have to find the right person worth opening up to.
- You’re not really single if you end up in situationships. You know what I’m talking about.
- I am still figuring out what the heck I want. And that’s okay.
- You can reinvent yourself every single day. There is no one checking you.
- Your spiritual side comes out full force. And it tells you what you have always known: the person you have been searching for is yourself.
I will tell you one thing I didn’t learn. What dating actually means. It can be very confusing this day and age. I don’t believe the hype when people say everyone is only looking to hook up though. I have met some amazing people who are interested in a genuine relationship. My advice to you is simple: Be honest. Communicate exactly what you are about. If you don’t know, learn about yourself first. No one can fault you for being true to your word.
