Keep Your Head Up!

I'm pretty sure we all have one friend who despises being single and sees it as the plague. "Obviously, something's wrong with me because I'm single." Actually that's not true.

Every girl is always going to be more confident when they aren't dating. I want to say this is a proven fact, but just in my case, it's very true. When you aren't dating, you're less likely to care about your appearance and you'll present yourself confidently around guys. It's not even the fact that you want to flirt with them, but it happens. You don't have to worry about pleasing your boyfriend every second of the day; you don't have to deal with jealousy (well, at least not as much when you date).

I always preferred being single, because when I would look at my friends' relationships, I would just wonder what the point is of dating in the first place. All I ever saw was them in a bad mood constantly, complaining about their boyfriends, crying due to a break-up only to have them take them back again and again despite the fact they were dating THE biggest jerks. It just always made sense to me to stay single and to not bother dating, and I'm glad I did for as long as I did.

I think when you're single, you get a better idea of what you actually want in a guy and you might be able to find someone that fits the bill. Finding someone that is exactly what you want is extremely difficult; some attributes have to take a backseat because it's extremely improbable to find a guy who loves romantic movies and long walks on the beach. Majority of the time, they will either be gay or lying so they can get in your pants.

I just hate seeing girls get into relationships for all the wrong reasons. Life is supposed to be fun and happy, but you don't need to have a boyfriend/girlfriend in order to stay happy; your friends love you, even if you are single, and they will stay by you if they truly are your friend.
