Single & Sick of It

By Jennifer Angel

Yes, we all want love and we all deserve it! Until we find it, it’s tempting to get frustrated and feel hurt when we don’t hear back from someone we liked, and get a tad jealous when our friends are in relationships. At times it can feel as if being single can last a lifetime, but remember, there is always a possibility of meeting someone special in the future and it could be closer than you think. On the other hand, during this time of being single there are many different ways to be happy as a single individual. Life is for living, and your single years are a great time to live it up!

Make Plans: Call up your friends ahead of time and plan fun outings for yourself each week. This can help to keep you out there socializing and having a great time to look forward to.

Keep Fit: Get active by sticking to a regular exercise routine. Working out and staying active is not only great for your body, but also your mind.

Adopt a friend:If you have your own place, consider getting an animal. Pets are wonderful companions and have a lot of unconditional love to give.

Travel Alone:Take a trip somewhere such as a cruise or anywhere that you find fun and exciting.

Be Single:Learning to enjoy your own company is an invaluable rite of passage, and one that will serve you well on your journey.

Celebrate You:Stop focusing on your flaws and see your strengths – the best way to attract someone is to bask in them by liking yourself, the good bad and the icky bits. When you feel good about yourself, it shows.

Ask Around: Ask your coupled friends what they miss most about being single. Take advantage of these opportunities now so you’ll have no regrets later.

Being single can be exciting and brings freedom. By staying single you may be more likely to develop into the best you can be. So the next time you’re out to dinner and see a group of women dining out without dates, smile and remember, they are having the time of their lives!

Your perfect partner is out there waiting to meet you and when the time is right it will happen. You will meet them by following your interests and working on your own dreams. Don’t change who you are to attract someone wonderful, just be your unique and beautiful self!
