So as everyone knows I am the most single person
in the world. End of Story.
My feelings on this…..50/50. Half of the time I love it, and can’t even
picture myself being in a relationship.
The other half- I hate it and think I should just convince myself I
should love the next man who walks past me because I am sick of being
single. So here are some pros and cons I have found about the current
situation.
Friday
and Saturday Nights:
The best part about being single on these nights
would be I get to do whatever I want, without thinking about anyone else! I get to be selfish! I do normally send out the “What r u doing
tonight” text to all my best gals, but I don’t have to take anyone else into
consideration. It’s awesome! The worst part is….waiting on them to respond
with their plans. I really don’t know
the last time I’ve stayed home on a weekend night, but sometimes when there’s
not much going on in this crazy town…it does get annoying. Nothing I can’t handle though!
Drinking:
I can go to the bar and hang out with whoever I
want and order whatever I want to drink.
And a good portion of the time, I can find someone else to pay for
it. I do buy my fair share of
rounds/shots…so don’t get your panties in a twist. Also I don’t have to worry about pissing off
my boyfriend by dancing/drinking with any random guy. The only thing I need to worry about is
playing booty call roulette with my phone after I realize I’m literally the
only single girl left in the bar. At some
point this jibberish gets sent to the first
5 guys that come to my mind (those lucky guys!) “Heeeeey!!!
Whare yat?!?!” or “What r u
dooooing?!?!?” or my personal favorite “Hey…”. And most of the time I just send them
because I’m drunk and bored…I don’t even have any intention of seeing them or
even texting with them for a long amount of time. So its acceptable.
Holidays:
I have a love-hate relationship with going
through any holiday single. I love it,
because I don’t have to worry about gifts…we all know I’m waaaay to broke for
that shit. However, it does get super annoying at every
family holiday I have to explain to every single person I come into contact
with (if I’m lucky I do a good enough job hiding in a corner somewhere looking
mean) that “Nope, I’m not dating anyone….yep still single…” Or sometimes when someone asks “So wheres
your boyfriend today?” I just flat out
lie and respond “Which one?” Give them a
blank stare and walk away.
Weddings:
This is one event that can just be really awkward
for single people. Either you can bring
a date (obviously not a boyfriend…just a boy.friend.), go stag (just preparing
for the rest of your lonely miserable life), be a 3rd or 5th
wheel (should be used to this one already), or try to become bff with some
other single, lonely, miserable girl/group of girls who are also attending. All of these options are annoying…the best
thing you can hope for is Open Bar. If
you bring a date, who is a boy, you are responsible for him…unless he is also
friends with the bride/groom…in that case you all just rode together. But if he really is your “friend date” you have to make sure he is not moping in a
corner looking like he hates his life, or drunkenly hitting on all the bridesmaids. If you go alone (really your best
option) you have to awkwardly find a
place to sit and hope you can find some friends who are already there so its
not SO obvious you came alone. This does
give you the chance to get as drunk as you want and do what you want. If you go as a 3rd or 5th
wheel….well good luck. That’s just kind
of dumb…I have done it several times and it always seems like a good time until
the end of the night when you’re stuck alone…with a couple who is in love. If you go with your Bffs….one of you will
get waaaaay to drunk and piss the rest off, one will be trying to hook up with
the same guy as you, and one will be pouty because she is clearly going home
alone…once again (I usually fall into that category).
So you probably wonder if I enjoy being single or
if I hate it. And honestly I don’t even
know how to answer that. I have
basically been single for ever (minus a few random college guys I dated on and
off) and its whatever. I am almost 25. I go through phases….I will be obsessed with
getting a boyfriend for a while, and then I just shut it off and I’m obsessed
with being a strong/independent/single woman.
But then I realize I’m not strong or independent…just single. It’s a never ending cycle. OVER IT.
Anyway….Here are some pics of me being SINGLE AND LOVING IT!!
