Since there's been some post of ladies feelin blue from breakups or what have you (mysel included) I decided to post this...

+'s to being single
You can sit around and eat lots of junk without worrying about you SO coming home and seeing you sitting on the couch sitting in your sweatpants with cookie crumbles on your shirt.

You dont have to worry about making anyone jealous when you go out in your sexy little outfits and can flirt or dance without guilt.

If your ex has started a new relationship just laugh because you know he or she will never be as good as you and plus they have to deal with all those stupid fights and annoying bad habits.

Did i mention you get to DO whatever you want?

You can act however you want without worrying about how you seem infront of him/her

You can go on dates and have great times without having to settle down and you can even be seeing more than one person.

So everyone can add on a little thats all that i can write down for now but remember if you do happen to run into your ex if you make eye contact give him your best sexy smile and maybe even a little hair flick and walk by strutun your stuff dont even bother going up to talk to him because he'll be standing there in shock at how good you look and will probably have to whip some drool off his face!

Being single is not always a bad thing. My ex-husband and I split 2 and 1/2 years ago and I have learned a lot about myself. I can do a lot for myself and I like myself just fine. I like not feeling like I have to take care of another person's feelings all the time. I like buying the groceries that I want. I like knowing where all of my money is being spent. I like going where I want, when I want with who I want to. I like not being sad all the time because I'm in a miserable relationship but scared of starting over. I LOVE my freedom. Single is good!!!

I agree with all of the above! I'm not really interested in NOT being single at the moment. Is it harder to be a single parent to my 2 1/2 year old? Yes, but..it's better than being in a relationship where I was incredibly unhappy and never knew from one day to the next what I was coming home to!

I am tired of being single and seriously wonder if I will ever meet a good person who would dedicate their time to the relationship. I've met one recently and I'm a bit confused because what happened very recently. I also have to deal with my parents who are being overly protective and controlling when I can and cannot go out. And I'm only 35 years old!

I do agree about the statement made about when running into your ex. I did exactly that, so to speak! I saw him walk into the coffee shop as I was sitting there, feeling very sorry for myself because I was at my very lowest point in my life and was pondering if it can get any worse (like death). Anyway, it was a very bad day for me and "he" walks in and just started to smile at me. I looked him up and down and he noticed that and then I snubbed him, got up and left the coffee shop. He looked upset when I purposly checked him out and then walked away from him.

Awesome thread polariod Im another who is recently single. Doing better finally. And enjoying all the things you have just mentioned.!

[cheller]

well, ive recently discovered my ex to have a new girlfriend. i feel sorry for her truly, he was a cheater. he cheated on me twice. & he's a jerk, he only thinks of himself at times and it hurt me dearly when he would get angry at me over nothing. so she has all of that to look forward to. im not envious. she has nothing i want, and neither does he. so its really whatever. he may think that i care about his new relationship, but i dont. He may be deep down trying to aggrivate me with his new gf, but it wont work. im better, i know that. God is within my heart, and nothing is in theirs. =[ soooo, i have a lot more that i treasure than just being able to tell someone i love them and them love me in return. haha. thats not what life is about. i want meaning, not what they have.

I became a widow five years ago and after two years of being single I went out looking to find a good man. my attempts to find a good man have lead me to the conclusion that they do not exist, at least not for older women, I am now 60, so now I am trying something new.

There are many many advantages to being single and I agree with what Kelly says, I have been single for 4 years after 15 years of marrage. I am the custodial parent so I am kept busy however I don't get to do what I want very often as I am either working or running around after my son lol

I would love another partner, but somehow I don't think thats going to happen.

I agree. There are so many advantages to being single! It's fun to be able to do what you want and not feel "tied down". HAHA.

Thanks for posting that, i'm going through a break up and it's been hard. This cheered me up a little

My divorce came through 12 years ago. Since then I have met several men but only dated a handful of them. Currently I'm single.

When I'm in a relationship, I find holidays to be stressful. My partners want to please everyone - doing 2 dinners the same day, spending equal amount of time with both families, and spending too much money on gifts.

Because I've been single for a while, I think I view men more objectively. I don't get bowled over by a sly smile that easily. And I try to learn from past mistakes rather than hoping the next guy will be the one.

I'm quite content being a flirt. In time, I might consider another date.
