100 Reasons Why It Is Fun To Be Single

Some people think being single is the worst thing in the world with all those lonely nights, eating alone, no one to share your day with.

But that’s not the way it is at all!

Sure, seeing ‘In A Relationship’, ‘Engaged’, or ‘Married’ on your Facebook relationship status has its benefits. There’s the whole companionship, commitment, support system, and unconditional affection factor. Then, you have no need to look for a date for each occasion you go to because you already have one. Your sexuality isn’t in question or no more pushy people asking for reasons why you didn’t bring someone along every Thanksgiving.

Yeah, being in a relationship has its perks. I totally agree. But guess what? So does being single. Turns out, despite what Valentine’s Day cards try to tell you each year, being single is actually pretty awesome. Don’t look at it as a negative, look at it as something to be envious of. Don’t believe me? Let me try to tell you the wondrous ways of the awesomely single:

1. You have the ultimate reason to be selfish.

With no one else to consider, your life, your way, baby!
