Singles often feel left out in our couple-driven society. Whenever you're tempted to feel down because of your singularity, remember these reasons why flying solo can be the best way to go:
1. You can make last-minute plans with your friends and stay out all night if you want.
2. You can lie on both sides of your bed and have all the covers to yourself.
3. You can flirt with the opposite sex without someone saying, "
“Who are you looking at?”
Who are you looking at?"
4. You can make your own decisions.
5. You don't have to remember your significant other's birthday or anniversary.
6. You have no one to clean up after.
7. You can leave the toilet seat permanently up if you're a man, or permanently down if you're a woman.
8. You can make a list of things you always wanted to do...and actually do them.
9. You can listen to your favorite radio station in the car.
10. You can actually hold on to the remote control.

Although I am only a teenager many of my friends are involved in relationships, and not to mention a few of my exes, which makes it hard to positively embrace being single. I like being single for the most part, but recently seeing others share a mutal connection has left me longing for that special someone. This article has helped me focus on just how lucky I am to have me... ALL TO MYSELF!!

I live in an area with relaxed attitudes towards prostitution, so I don&#39;t mind being single.

Who put such a premium on having a significant other, anyway? I&#39;m quite happy on my own, and while this list includes a few (superficial) reasons I like being single , I am not sure why it is necessary. If you&#39;re so upset about being single that you need to be cheered up about it, go get a boy- or girlfriend. I&#39;m confident in myself and happy alone, and I don&#39;t need someone else to shore up my failing ego by dating me. If someone is intimidated by my self-confidence, cool. Helps weed out the weaklings so I know if I do get married, he&#39;ll be one worth marrying. My friends (most of whom are married) laugh that it will take an extraordinary man to tolerate my independence, but I always thought if a guy can&#39;t handle the fact that I am my own person, he&#39;s not worth much anyway.

Hmm... Not so sure if those are the greatest reason, one of the best reasons to being single is being able to have some free time with yourself not worrying about dates, or if your not looking your best today, or even if you&#39;re not in the greatest mood, you don&#39;t feel like you have to impress someone. I mean you do your co-workers and stuff, but that&#39;s not as much as your gf/bf!

To elaborate on #4...when you do make a decision, no one else has any right to question that decision.

I feel so badly for the person who left this : &quot;Thank, but it really doesn&#39;t help, I am still loney, thinking about all the good things you have when you are talken: Someone who really cares about you Someone to spend the lonely nights with Somone who loves you and tells you about it all the time Someone that is there for you&quot; Because I have been there and done that. I have just ended a relationship that I was in for 3 years, and all I my life as a young adult to adult I have felt that way ; hate to be alone and need some one around. I was so scared when I moved into my own apartment a few months ago that I was going to go through this &#39;I don&#39;t want to be alone depression mode&#39;, so I started working on ways that I can help this. One way was to find something I totally enjoy and do it every minute I can. I put finding who I am as a top priority, you would be amazed at how much you don&#39;t know yourself until you really try to find out who you are. I started to spend quality time with my two beautiful boys and I have missed so much with them because now I see that what I was suppose to be giving to them I was busy giving it to someone else. I also found something that I really fancy while on a coffee date (yeah go figure went out on a date and found that I can enjoy this without that date), going to a book store finding and buying a book that I like, sit there in the coffee shop while sipping on a latte` and reading. I found a little &#39;me time&#39; by being on a date. You have to explore you, try something new, don&#39;t be afraid to take charge of yourself. I think sometimes we allow ourselves (even unintentionally) to believe that we need someone there, try depending on you for your own support, it is working for me thus far

So true being single is the perfect time to get to know yourself better. We are so stereotyped by what society want and forget to realize who we are as a individual. I embrace my singlehood.............................................
