Now I have a fiance that I live with and love BUT ...
Good things about being single;
Having quiet time by yourself.... no interuptions.
You don't have to consider someone else when you want to go somewhere, or pick what food you want for tea, etc.
No explaining to someone else why you are spending so much money on makeup (or anything else).
And you can travel on a whim, no rearranging schedules, finding out if the other person can get leave etc.
You are awesome Trudi! Single or not.

Ok, so I'm not single but having been in a relationship for 10 years these are the things that look fun to me about being single.
Going out, meeting guys and being able to imagine that they are all perfect not like how you know someone forever and all their gross things they do lol.
You get to not be that annoying person who goes out but is on her phone half the night talking to her man.
You can spend your money on you and not have to justify a single thing to anyone else.
No annoying inlaws (I like mine now haha!)
Going on girls trips and travelling places without a care in the world (I guess you need to not have kids either for that).

Lol, I love that it's the non-single ladies replying! Love the support.
The main reasons I love singledom are purely self-indulgent:
-My money gets spent on me
-I don't have to share a bed
-I can go in to hibernation mode whenever I want without having to factor anyone else in
-If I look a mess, it don't matter (which is often)
-I can watch beauty vids on YouTube for hours straight with no judgement
Number one - I don't have to consult with anyone to do anything. My fave!

It's on your own terms no conflicts no one to answer to. Noone to impress. No jealousy, no restrictions,no friendships ruined. Being independent no let downs no false pretenses. I have so those and more about being a single parent that are advantages.
Main one is building up your own confidence to be able to see a real man amongst the not so real and to attract the real man to the real woman that you are..
It's ok to be single I believe it. Companionship often isn't the answer to everything and Trudi the right man us out there don't beat yourself up over it.....xxx

I feel for you, I've felt that way before. I was having a conversation with a friend last night and we decided it's not our lack of attractiveness that makes us single, it's that there aren't any decent men available, all the good ones are taken.
But what I love about being single is the freedom, not feeling like I have to rein in my behaviour because he wouldn't like it and being able to flirt back with the cute guy.

My boys know to have the toilet seat down their dad I trained well with that too. Also to close the lid and always shut the toilet door afterwards. I can't stand a toilet door left open and bathroom door especially at night time bc these rooms have their windows open 24 7 and it was something my dad use to always make us do at home growing up so now it's a hard habit to break and for me it make sense. Like why must we have these doors left open? I can't wait to move into our new house though bc it's back to my own ensuite and walk in bathroom I've missed these things. It gives me a sense of freedom frok my kids don't get me wrong I love them but I just need a bit of space now and then lol. But this thread is about being single lol and being a single mum you can get quite costraphobic with kids up in your face I love them again I reinforce but I've never been able to close my door for the past 4 years and just sit in my room.
I've been mum/housewife since I was 19, so haven't experienced much of this, but the things I imagine I miss from being single would be just being able to do what I want when I feel like it, not having to check in with other people about where I'm going and how much it's costing, not having to pick up other people's crap from round the house ....
I love my life as it is, but wish I had a little more time to myself

It's also ok to be single, I didn't even dream of the whole being in a relationship thing let alone being married and living in a different country. I was severly independent and hadn't even had a boyfriend when at 27 I meet my now hubby. Totally wasn't looking for it or planned it, it just happened so no one should feel like it is the be all and end all to be in a relationship I know plenty of women who have always been single ladies and wouldn't want it any other way.
Aw hon you're not flawed at all, you just haven't found that right person who compliments all your amazingness, and you won't settle for anything less. (which someone people i.e. me, have trouble with and end up with douchebags out of not wanting to be alone). Best things about being single for me so far:
* Freedom, no checking in, no asking the other person what they want to do, random missions when I want
* Independence: What I say goes, I don't have to take anyone elses opinions/thoughts into consideration (mostly I'm still a mum)
* Fun: Girls night out, sure why not, sit on the couch watching chick flicks all day, hey who cares, spend my spare $$ on a frivilous item - sure it's only my wallet
*The bathroom is MINE! No toilet seat left up, no whiskers in the fricken sink, if I clean it stays tidy, no towels left on the floor
*I'm free to be myself - I have a different confedience while single, no idea what it is (well actually I do, but I won't go into that here, you already know the story)
* See a hot guy...go make out with hot guy ;)
* Starfish in the bed!
While sometimes it would be nice to have someone to share life with & discuss the world, it's not everything and being in a relationship doesn't guarantee that you'll have someone that actually wants to do the same things you want etc.
Keep on being yourself xx

Like some of the other ladies said, being single has a lot going for it, you can do what you like when you like without having to answer to anyone. Make the most of it, because when you are in a relationship with someone everything changes. I fret sometimes that my son is still single at 28, but I know that he will find his life partner someday, these things can happen overnight, I should know, I was engaged after three weeks.
I love being single! I've been single for 5 years now, I have had occasional casual hookups and a couple "trials" at a relationship but I keep finding reasons to stay single lol. My last serious relationship was with my kids father - 10 years. The biggest draw to single life for me is not having to answer to anyone. Doing what you want, when you want without having to consider anyone elses feelings/opinions etc. Another reason.. Living my lifehow I want it... not having to compromise. Having my house how I want it... ME clean... not MAN clean (which is totally different to my version of clean).
People think that being single sux... but it doesnt have to... put yourself out there, join some dating apps, meet new guys, open yourself up to opportunities of love, I'm still looking!

I think being single is very liberating. No commitment to anyone, nothing. I'm not single right now but I used to feel that way sometimes too. Then I remember how my friends act when they go through breakups then I'm like 'I got 99 problems but a BF ain't one'. I've had some awful luck in dating so I like being single much more. The last time I had a bad breakup, I cried for two hours and then thought 'why am I crying over this idiot' and I got over him just like that. I sound really heartless but he really wasn't worth my time.
After being in a relationship from 16-21 I am now single and I LOVE it. Just a few reasons...
1) Not having to justify any purchases, especially beauty.
2) WAY more money to spend on myself... beauty products.
3) Nothing interupts my beauty routine. Need to fake tan? I do it. Want to smother myself in body butter? I do it.
Of course I sometimes wish I had company, but to be honest I love my own space. I make the most of hanging out with friends and enjoying my own company. At the end of the day, being in a relationship is only good if it's a positive experience based on trust.

Haha, just thought of a very important reason for loving being single - you can totally go nutso excited and try and secure a BRBB just because you want it. Psycho behaviour around trying to purchase said BRBB, is totally ok and cannot be criticised or commented on or merely tolerated and thus enthusiasm for BRBB is not dampened or guilted by a significant other. Plus you do not have to explain or justify the purchase of BRBB to anyone - only your own conscious (which wants the BRBB as much as you do, so it's ok anyway).
