So I was out with my friends on Sat and I ran into my ex (haven’t seen him in 6 months) and I was reminded why I chose to be single! Doesn’t it just feel great when u run into your ex and u know ure looking extra fine that day? His drooling mouth and dropped jaw was enough justice, but him asking for LB (love back) = PRICELESS.
Anyway I love being single, I really do. But every time I say this to my friends they look at me and their faces say “Yes dear keep telling yourself that and eventually you’ll believe it”. So I’m writing this article to highlighting the pros of being single and to refer back to this article every time I envy (once in a while) my not so single friends.
1. Freedom – You get to stay out as late as u want and don’t have to explain to anyone. The only commitment you have is to your hangover!
2. No need for a tracker - Everything is right where you left it. Your keys are still on the counter, your ice cream is still in the freezer (not empty tub), and the remote is still on the end table.
3. Self discovery – being alone after dating a bunch of losers gives you a chance to discover exactly what you want and what you cannot stand for.
4. No Cooking – I can have Nandos for breakfast, lunch and supper. (I was partially vat n sitting with a Xhosa man, who had a phobia for take outs)
5. No middle man - I can buy anything and make impulsive decisions without feeling guilty about not consulting my other half.
6. Male friends - You can have male friends without having to defend yourself and explain that ‘nothing else is going on’.
7. No more Steven Seagal or Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee. You are free to watch Dream Girls and Oprah three times a day if you want.
8. You can eat garlic (Manto must be so proud of me) or onions without a second thought about breath mints.
9. Beautify sleep – Finally you can have that beauty sleep coz ure not kept awake by the snoring!
10. Freebies – expensive restaurants (u know black men luuuuv to impress), free shows, movies, etc so you’re actually saving a lota moola coz there’s no 50/50 on the 1st, or 2nd or even the 3rd date!
Are there any single bloggers who’d like to share what they love or hate about being single? Holla!
