Being single is amazing. A time in your life to focus on yourself, focus on fun and focus on drinking triple G&T’s in your pyjamas in London whilst swiping Tinder in Barcelona, because you’ve got a mini-break planned and pride yourself on your advanced organization skills.
If you think your life is incomplete until you’ve met your ‘other half’ think again – single life has never been so fun.
11 things you only know if you love being single.
1. ‘Me’ isn’t a dirty word
Single girls are selfish? Hell yeah – and why shouldn’t they be?
What single girls lack in romantic walks and Sunday lie-ins they make up for in doing exactly what they want, when they want, with who they want – and you can’t say fairer than that.
2. You’re in good company
You can’t love anyone else until you love yourself – cliché but true.
Embracing time on your own means you give yourself the opportunity to discover (and love) the real you – which means epic wins all round when you do eventually decide to pair up.
3. Independence is sexy
And people always want what they can’t have, so, by embracing your single life, you’ll double your hotness rating before you’ve even left the house.
4. Life’s too short to stay in s**t relationships
Sometimes it takes a bit of distance from a relationship to see just how crap it was – and being in a bad relationship is *always* lonelier than being on your own.
Talking of which …
5. Being alone doesn’t mean being lonely
Friends, family, four Tinder dates a week and a one-night stand with the hot guy who you met in All Bar One on Saturday night – life has never been so full of people.
6. You’ll never wonder ‘what if’ …
… I’d walked away from that bad relationship and taken a punt at life on my own.

7. Dating is much more fun than Netflix
Fact.
8. You don’t know what’s around the corner
And nothing is more exciting than the potential for adventure.
So whilst those in relationships pretty much know exactly where they’ll be in six months, being single means that the world is your oyster and only you are the master of your destiny.
9. Sofas should be comfortable not relationships
When you love your single life, it’s not something you’ll give up for any old bloke that asks you out – meaning that, when you do commit, it will *only* be with someone who sets your world on fire.
10. Quitting your job is always a good idea
Mortgages, holidays planned a year in advance with the in-laws, shared bank accounts and future commitments.
Not when you’re single and don’t need to consult your ‘other half’ before you make big decisions like quitting your job to travel the world.
Lonely planet? Not on this watch.
11. Spreading out in bed
That is all.
