14 No Shaving!
One of the key signs you’ve been single for too long is that you literally cannot remember the last time you used a razor. Maybe once a month if you fancy it, but without a valid reason to rid yourself of your body hair, you let it grow grow grow!
15 Men’s Shirts
You find yourself buying men’s shirts at the store because let’s be real, having your own is the only way you are going to be able to smell and nuzzle them like you used to!
16 Pregnancy Alert

Here you are, 2 years later, still trying to get over the break up when all of a sudden you see the dreaded announcement on Facebook. Killer!
Are you ready to get up off your lazy ass and get back out into the dating game?
