The reality is that you’ll spend on average 50% of your adult life single, and you should wake up to the fact that being boy-free is fabulous fun. Here’s why you should be glad, not sad, you’re a singleton.

YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT
Who in their right mind would want to trek to the park and freeze while pretending to be thrilled that their boyfriend managed to kick the ball? Instead of going to watch gory horror movies you can indulge in catching girly flicks and bonus: you don’t have to share your popcorn with a greedy guy. You have the freedom to stay in and slob out in your track pants, not worrying about what you look like if he comes to the door. So how is being single a bad thing?!

NO STRESSFUL RELATIONSHIP ROWS
Next time your best friend has locked herself in the toilet, bawling because he sent her a nasty text, thank the gods that you’re not in her position. Yes, you have little tiffs with your parents and friends, but nothing quite rocks your world like a relationship argument. It feels like your world has ended when you’re dumped or your boyfriend is being mean to you. You don’t have to deal with that heartache and your life is more emotionally stable for it.

FLIRT UP A STORM
When you’re coupled up EVERYONE knows it. Boys stop eyeing you up, flirting or asking you out. How boring. But you, you lucky girl, can enjoy being flirted with.

OH THE POSSIBILITIES
But the absolute best thing about being unattached is the possibilities that unfold for you. That cute guy who just smiled at you on the bus? He might ask you out next week – and you wouldn’t have to say, ‘No, I’ve got a boyfriend, sorry’.

Nothing is set in stone, you have no idea what’s round the corner and you don’t have to pass up any golden date opportunities because you’re already taken. Flirt and daydream about the future to the max – who knows who you’ll end up with?!
