It’s perfectly okay not to be ready for a relationship just yet. 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! Taking time for personal growth and self-discovery allows you to understand your own needs and desires better. When you finally enter a relationship, you'll be more confident and emotionally available. Remember, rushing into a relationship prematurely can often lead to unnecessary stress and complications.

You may be single because you haven’t found the right person for you yet, and while a lot of people would scoff at that, that’s actually really great that you care about who is in your life. 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!
Frequently asked questions
3. You’ll Be Less Codependent
If you’ve been single for a long time, you’re very good at being independent. You’re used to doing things for yourself and on your own. 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!
4. You’ll Know Yourself
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!
5. You’re Picky- in a Good Way
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being picky, so don’t let anyone tell you differently! You may have a checklist of things to tick off or you may just have one or two instances that are super important to you. 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!
6. Being Mentally Prepared Increases Success
If you’re mentally ready to be in a relationship, your chances of success are so much higher. I mean, come on, it makes perfect sense! Being emotionally prepared makes you much more equipped to handle the different highs and lows that come along with being in a relationship!
7. Your past Relationship Won’t Seep in
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!
8. You Can Take Care of Yourself
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
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.

you've 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. In relationships, this confidence translates to clear communication and setting boundaries without hesitation. You're not one to tolerate unnecessary drama or mind games, and this authenticity is something that potential partners will greatly appreciate. Staying true to yourself ensures that any relationship you enter will be built on mutual respect and honesty.
10. You Have a Great Group Surrounding You
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.
What are your reasons for staying single? Do you think that it will help your relationship in the long run? Let me know in the comments!
Comments
Anapokora: Some of these things make a lot of sense but they are inevitable if the person your dating wasn't single for a long time as well
Lorri: 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.
prinikay: I have never dated or never had a chance to be in a relationship, I din find anyone interesting so far. But my instinct says one day I will meet the person soon who is worth the wait :)
: Be with friend or with family is better to be widower. I don,t like to be single
emma: everyone is afraid of rejection. just as a job interview you will hear 1000 no's before you hear one… See more
Steph5: I've been single for almost 9 months now and I'd rather be single and respect myself than to be in a relationship with someone who cannot respect me. Sure it gets lonely sometimes, but I know that I deserve to be treated with the same respect, love, and care that I would offer to a partner and that when the time is right I will find someone who will treat me with the kindness I deserve
KingD84: 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.
