Immediately after
getting out of a relationship, you may feel like you're destined for
loneliness. Even worse is the sickening thought of being the only single person
out there surrounded by happy couples.
However,
in reality, being single, independent and free of the many stresses that a
relationship can bring offers several advantages that outweigh relationships.
Here are 10 reasons why flying solo is better than being in a relationship.
1. Time to build a better you.
With
all the “free” time you have, now is the perfect opportunity to get down to
your ideal weight, take that class you’ve been putting off, get a second job or
start volunteering. The worse thing someone who is recently single can do is
sit at home, feeling bad for themselves. Get out of the house and start
building a better you.
2. Do what you want, when you want.
Just
think -- no need to “check in” with someone to let them know who you’re with,
where you’re at and what time you’re expected to be home. Freedom at last.
3. Girl’s/Guy’s night out without the guilt.
For
some odd reason, most girls/guys feel a pang of jealousy when their significant
other has a night out with their girls/guys. Single? Grab your girls/guys for a
night out on the town, minus the guilt.
4. Plenty of time to start a new hobby.
There’s
always that one thing we’ve put off for the mere reason that we don’t have time
to cram it into our busy schedules. With extra time, learn that second
language, take that cooking class or even Pilates like you’ve always wanted to.
5. The freedom to date whomever you want and go
on as many dates as possible.
Why
not consider playing the field a little? After all, there’s no reason to feel
guilt if it’s just a date. Keep it casual and grab a drink or dinner with that
cute new girl/guy you just met or the person that you’ve been secretly eyeing
for awhile.
6. No need to feel guilt over what you post on
social media.
Unfortunately,
the wrong post, photo or comment can be taken out of context and easily
misconstrued when you’re in a relationship. Ultimately, this is the deterrent
in many relationships.
7. No need to monitor someone else’s social
media activity.
Ever
feel like the social media police when you’re in a relationship, constantly
checking to see if your significant other’s ex is ‘liking’ photos or posts?
Unfortunately, most of us out there feel the need to monitor and ensure this
isn’t happening.
8. Less time on the phone and more time to “do
you.”
Relationships
suck up a great deal of time on the phone between talking and texting, which
can easily amount to several hours of a day. Think about all the time saved by
cutting this out and investing this time in you.
9. No more “forced relationships.”
When
you’re in a relationship, you’re not just in a relationship with the girl/guy,
but you’re in it with their family, friends and even their pets. Chances are
there’s someone in their circle you’re not going to like.
10. More money in your pocket.
Being
in a relationship is expensive. Dinners out, mini vacations and gifts all add
up to a significant amount of cash. Save this money towards something that
betters you in the long run.
