There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, and in fact, it may help your future relationships in the long run. You aren’t putting yourself through heartbreak and bitterness that you’re not ready for, and your future relationships will flourish as a result of that!

You don’t need to let anyone into your life just because you can, and when you do find the right person, your relationship will be so much better!

You’ll Be Less Codependent

That will only help you in your next relationship! Your relationship will be so much healthier because you won’t rely on each other for every little thing that you have to do!

You’ll Know Yourself

hair,black,white,black and white,photograph, When you’re single, you get to know yourself and your interests when another person in your life doesn’t influence them. That only spells success for your next relationship! You’ll be your own person that isn’t influenced by the interests of someone else, so you can go into your relationship seeing if you really are compatible or not!

You’re Picky- in a Good Way

black,black and white,photography,monochrome photography,monochrome, There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being picky, so don’t let anyone tell you differently!

Whatever it may be that’s stopping you from being in a relationship with a person, it’s getting in the way for a reason!

Being Mentally Prepared Increases Success

Your past Relationship Won’t Seep in

hair,face,person,blond,hairstyle, The farther removed you are from your past relationship, the less likely it will be to seep into your next relationship. You’ll be hanging onto less bitterness and insecurity that snuck its way into your last relationship and you’ll be able to start fresh!

You Can Take Care of Yourself

facial expression,person,brown hair,mouth,organ, There's nothing worse to a guy than a girl who is needy and too reliant on a man. Being single longer means you've established your career, you've bettered yourself, and supported yourself this long that a man is just a bonus to your life not your whole life.

9

You Don't Play Games

person,mouth,don't,tolerate,three, Youve taken the time to be secure in yourself and your singleton lifestyle that your blunt no bull attitude is extremely refreshing to others. You know what you want in life and haven't been afraid to go after it solo, no reason to change that just because of a man.

10

You Have a Great Group Surrounding You

fashion,fashion show,supermodel,flooring,gown, You've taken the time to build a solid group of friends as well as solid relationships with family members. You don't need a significant other to feel fulfilled in your life because you have tons of love and support from plenty of other people.

Liked this article some interesting points

I have a question. I want to be single (I'm 23 and have been in relationships/dating since I was 17) but guys always tend to pop up in the picture wanting to take me out. How do I know if I'm not missing an opportunity of a lifetime of i don't give them a chance?

we are not to far from a plant that lives in different environments. if its hot the plant will get burned. the situations you put yourself in will determine the results you get from them. the only instance when the plant does not burn in the intense situation is if it had adapted to the environment. People are the same.

People feel they need to be in a relationship to be happy. Learn to know and love yourself before you take that leap. You will find it a lot more rewarding when you go into your next relationship.

everyone is afraid of rejection. just as a job interview you will hear 1000 no's before you hear one… See more
