Valentine’s day may be over but all year round it can feel like you’re the only single in a sea of gooey couples. For those times when you’re feeling all alone here are 10 reasons being single is awesome.
1. Don’t have to share your bed
You can star-fish to your heart’s content, steal all the blankets, sleep sideways, upside down, diagonally, smack bang in the middle. The best bit: no one’s jabbing you in the ribs to get you to move.
2. Do whatever you want!
If you don’t want to go the monster truck show, the flea market or the latest exhibition at the museum, you don’t have to! No compromising or trading outings, it’s all about you.
3. Spend (more) money on yourself
No relationship means you don’t have to buy anniversary presents, birthday presents, Valentine’s day presents, or just-because presents.
Translation: more money for you to spend on you. (More shoes!!!!)
Appreciate your relationship with the ultimate life partner: YOU!

4. Flirt with all of the people!
If a particularly fine specimen wanders into your vicinity you can check them out guilt-free and get your flirt on with no consequences. No need to worry that you were being a little more than just friendly.
5. No arguments
Can’t have a lovers quarrels if you don’t have a lover. Stay (relatively) stress free by missing out on any and all spats with your other half.
6. Spontaneity
With no one else to be responsible for or discuss decisions with you can do whatever you want whether that be staying out all night or adopting 10 cats.
7. Mismatched underwear
With no one to impress you don’t have to worry about matching your underwear or wearing those sexy, but slightly uncomfortable, undies to work all day because you’re seeing them that night.
8. One less thing to juggle in your efforts to have a good friends/family/work/study/alone time balance
Life’s hard enough trying to balance all those things without adding a sixth factor to the mix!
9. No heartbreak
Cynical, I know, but being single means the only person who can break your heart is you.
10. The knowledge that it’s not forever
Snow White said it best: “One day my Prince will come.” Even if we’re a little short on Prince Charmings in the modern day ‘the One’ is still out there, somewhere, and you’ll find them eventually so I say enjoy singledom while it lasts!
