8 Benefits of Being Single ...

This point was generously submitted by one of our lovely readers. Thank you Jewels!

Live in a city, state, or country that has always interested you. Visiting family and friends is only a flight away. You can travel with your job. For example, if you're a registered nurse, try travel nursing. It's like a working vacation! You will have the opportunity to see and do things you might not have ever had otherwise.

*Please feel free to add your own point at the end of this post. We'd love to hear from you!

The first of my benefits of being single is that you have the chance to get to know your friends and family members even more and possibly discover new things about them. You will no longer miss out on those crazy parties and intimate family occasions. Guess what, you might even meet someone special during any of those events! The best thing is that there will be no significant other who will get jealous or mad because you are spending a lot of time with your friends or family instead of him/her.

Flirting is essential and an extreme benefit of being single. Since you now have more free time to yourself and your friends, you will most likely get the chance to meet new and interesting people. Every single day is an opportunity to meet or see a potential partner. As a single individual, you won’t have to worry about hurting somebody as you walk towards that good-looking woman or be afraid of a handsome man who is trying to start a conversation with you.

Don’t you hate constantly getting messages every three minutes checking where you are and what you are doing? This is a benefit of being single, because you do not have to tolerate any annoying behaviour or irritating personal habits. You can just do your own thing in peace and only worry about yourself.

Being single will benefit you by allowing you to concentrate on your studies or career. If you have a life long dream, this is the time to work hard and have fun doing the things that are important to you. You can also devote more time to impress your supervisor or take on a new position without feeling bad about for not having enough time to spend with your partner.

Another benefit of being single is that you have the opportunity to start something new or do something you have always wanted to do. Hit the gym, learn a new language, watch a new show, volunteer or read an interesting book. Take advantage of learning new knowledge and experiencing new things. You have full control over your time so appreciate your independence.

This is a huge benefit to single men out there. Imagine how much money you can save up from those expensive dinners, movies, flowers, chocolates, presents... and the list goes on. For you women, you will not have anyone questioning how much you shop. You also won’t have to set aside money for dates or presents for every month-sary or occasion. Your money is there to be enjoyed for yourself, but remember to spend it wisely.

The last benefit of being single is that it allows you more time for yourself to improve and be the best you can be. Discover who you really are and what you like or dislike. This will greatly benefit you in deciding what you really want in a partner. When you upgrade yourself for the better, you are more likely to attract new friends and bachelor(ette)s that will suit your needs. You can even call for a completely new makeover!

I hope you now appreciate the freedom you actually have. If you are currently single, there is no need to want to be in a relationship just because your friends are in one. If it is not the right time yet, just enjoy living the good life. Nevertheless, do not worry, when the right time comes, your special someone will find their way to you. For now, what other benefits can you think of?
