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 Know Yourself

You’re Picky- in a Good Way

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!

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.

we are the same as temperature sticks. when you have the right temp you will be ready to love. everything has as a time and a place. the right person gravitates towards you with the investment of you heart. scared money does not make any money. all life is interlocked for the purpose of survival.

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

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

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?

I have been single a little over two years, it's the best thing I've ever done for getting to know and love the true me. It's a blessing and when a god man comes I feel I am ready to invest the here and now, which is what I feel is essential to a healthy relationship.
