It seems like everyone round you is either married or expecting, while you’re left seriously wondering- have you passed your prime? Before you go beating yourself up about being single, realise it can be pretty darn good for you! Here are the perks of living the single life. Freedom Already feeling liberated aren’t you? Being single, especially after a long relationship is like taking a deep breath and then letting it out in a whoooshh! Now you don’t have to imagine a life without fighting, jealousy and disappointments; you’re living it! Relish the feeling of dropping emotional baggage, this is perhaps the only time in your life you can do this. Experiment again Wake up in the morning and feel like P. Diddy… yes you can! Single-dom is your space, explore it however you please. Try out things you’ve always wanted to do, wild things included. Flirt with the first guy you find cute at a bar, or guys you find cute at a bar. ;) Make sure your options are plenty; it’s more fun that way. Me time Having time to your own thoughts and feelings is a great way to introspect and connect with your innermost self. My god, and finally you have the bed to yourself! Slouch, snore and even let one rip, whenever you so please. The remote’s yours again, relish that mostly. And no more late night sports and hairy monsters in your bed! Bring out the social animal Now that you’re single, the roles have reversed and you can wear the pants now. Try on men like you would try on clothes. If you haven’t found the right fit yet, that’s ok, shopping can be so much fun! Everything is so exciting Isn’t it great not to know who or what awaits you at the turn of the corner? Mr. Perfect can be anywhere, and the best part is you’re single! The chase, goosebumps are back, first dates… there’s so much to anticipate! No more justification Men can be nags too, especially when it comes to a woman’s penchant for shopping. But now that you’ve rid yourself of that nuisance, how about some guilt-free shopping ladies? Go ahead and splurge, see how easy it is without having to explain yourself to a man who doesn’t even buy new underwear! After you’ve done that, sit back and watch as many rom-coms you want. Go stag It’s back to the ladies night’s, and no more couple entry! You’re a single lady now, and things just keep getting better. Which bartender’s going to whip up a free flaming shot for you when your stuck in your boo’s arms? Take charge of your stag status and the perks will follow. Men just sense a single lady around; you’ll know you’re on someone’s radar when the waiter says - on the house, courtesy the man at the bar! Weddings are so much more fun Being stuck with a date at a wedding can get so boring, you have to sparingly check out the hot best man or the boyish cute brides brother! Pooh-pah to that, says you. Play the field this time around, ask a stranger to dance or surely he’ll make the first move. If cute single men are not reason enough, go just to show-off that new dress you bought and discuss all the hideous ones around! Laugh at other couples No more frantic last-minute anniversary shopping, no more cheesy Valentine’s Days and no more extravagant phone bills. Leave these troublesome practices to those who are still dating. Let them feel the prick! Most of all, it’s your turn to laugh at all the whacky things couples do for each other. Did X just gift Y that fluffy heart pillow? Really? Male friends You can have as many friends of the opposite sex without your partner getting jealous or you having to explain your friendships!
