I can only think of one: not having anyone else be able to ruin your day (since you're not emotionally attached.)

 

Can you think of any more? Trying to make myself feel better.

Being able to to anything you want with no oh where have you been who were you with (other than family asking for safety reasons). I've been single since July 2013. Its staying that way until someone awes the heck out of it.

*Do as you wish when you wish

*No one to criticize your ways

*No one to take the remote control away from you

*Be a slob and a slvt as much as you wish

*Eat junk food without feeling his eyes on you

*Spend your money in frivolous ways

I'm in the saaaaame boat girl. Been single for about a year now (hence sexless also, I don't do casual sex, I don't get anything out of it.)

 

Not sure if anyone could "awe" me, but yeah, it's not changing until I truly feel something with someone. I'm just baffled that it's been a year and I haven't been able to connect not with ONE man. I've travelled 4 times in the last year to three different countries. How is this possible?

 

I can't possibly be THAT different...

*you don't have to be in a relationship to be criticized

* I don't want TV

*I'm a neat freak anyways lol

*I dont eat junk food (and I'm skinny so no one would give me eyes if I did)

* I'm poor LOL

FYI, aside from slutting it up, you can still have all those things in a relationship.

I've seen plenty of girls with boyfriends who are still quite sl*tty. So that goes too lol

*Whenever I 'lose' something, it really IS always in the last place I left it.

*Never hearing that the way I'm doing something is the "wrong" way.

I can do what I want, when I want. I don't have to go through the bull**** of being with someone and I can't ever get my heart broken. What's there not to like about it?

To be serious, aside from casual sex, I can't think of a single thing. In a healthy relationship you can do all the same things you would do while single except flirting with other people, casual sex, and being an overall floozy. If you feel like you are missing out on things because you are in a relationship then your relationship isn't healthy.

Every single resource you have available - time, money, energy, brainpower, etc. - you get to spend entirely on yourself.

* When single, one already knows the answer to the question "Do these jeans make my a** look fat?"

Yeah I guess that's the big one. 100% of your time and energy goes toward yourself. My art, music and hobbies always got way more focus when I was single.

Yeah.. figuring out who the hell I am again. :)

Much much closer bonds with female friends. They basically become like a boyfriend substitute... provided they are also single.

 

But there are lots of benefits to being in a relationship... regular sex, emotional support, someone who misses you, loves you, someone to share your ups and downs with, someone to grow and learn from, someone who push you to be the best you can be.

When having to clean the shower drain, I know all that hair is mine...and from whence part(s) of my body it has been shed. :sick:

It's always better to be single than to be in a bad relationship or marriage.

But if you had a partner, maybe they'd be the one cleaning the shower drain

Yeah the one guy I've been talking to the Mr. Big or the what I like to call the Mr. Now guy. He has some ex on a pedastal. It drives him crazy when I tell him I go out on dates and such. Guess I'll keep doing that. That way if he bails I still have options and ball is in my court. Never giving a man that much power. I had a hook up after a year of it. Maybe find a male friend you trust for your needs?

You can exercise all those weird, embarrassing little personal habits you have (like picking on your face, reading goofy websites like this one, eating in bed, watching TLC, whatever your brand of personal psychosis) without exercising any restraint.

Then, they, too, would remember fondly their single days for the same reason.

 

;)

 

 

 

None of my four serious relationships has ever set foot in a bathroom with the intention of cleaning any part of it.
