20 Reasons Why You Should Stay Single

Most women today worry a lot about getting into a romantic relationship, especially when they realized that they are ageing. There are even instances where some do not bother anymore to know the guy they are dating very well, but soon hurry off to getting married. Although it’s understandable if people hope for a partner that they will get to be with for the rest of their lives, there is really no need to rush. Being married has its benefits, but so has staying single. When you stay single, you control your time, you control what you do, most of all; you control your entire life. Of course it doesn’t mean that you won’t have to consider other people around you, but at least, you can prioritize yourself. When you enter a relationship, you have to expect that there may be some goals and aspirations of yours that you have to give up, but if you stay single, rest assured that you can reach those anytime you want. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about being lonely too because you have your friends and family around you. If you stay single, the more people you will get to meet and become a part of your life. Anyway, here are 20 reasons why you should stay single!

It’s easy to find someone you’ll get attracted and infatuated to, but finding someone you can love truly and can become a lifetime partner is difficult. Finding out if you’re going to be happy with the people you’re making a part of your life cannot be achieved in just a few months, unfortunately. It would take years before you’ll fully get to know people very well. You deserve an amazing person who can take care of you and it’s your right to live up to your standards. So if staying single for a long time will be the most effective way of looking for “the one”, then do just that!

We all probably experienced female friends coming to us to whine about how they can’t live their life anymore the way they want to because their partners hinder them to do so. Just listening to their frustrations already is a bothersome, right? Admit it, you will even sympathize with them and say how just wrong that situation is. However, such happenings are inevitable when you already have a partner and unfortunate it may sound, it’s actually very normal. If you are the type of woman who does things her own way whenever she wants, it is best if you could just stay single.

People experience risks all the time as they’re unavoidable, and to go through them, we often find courage with our partner. However, there are just times where it’s still a huge challenge for us to take risks despite our loved one’s support because you can’t deny the fact that you still have to consider whether your actions will affect them or not. If you are a natural risk taker, it’s recommended that you stay single so you don’t have to stress yourself worrying about what your partner might feel about your decisions.

It is a natural instinct of women to take care of other people so it’s expected that their priorities will be a little bit altered when they get married. Your life is not just your own anymore because you already have to consider that you are someone’s wife now. Women in a relationship will have a huge tendency to rather focus on their man’s well-being than their own that eventually, they’ll just end up as “the guy’s girlfriend/wife”. If you stay single for as long as you want, rest assured that you will not lose your own identity. You won’t feel as if you are just a part of someone because you, yourself are already whole.

One biggest disadvantage you can experience when you get into a relationship is that you cannot escape the fact that you have to share your hard-earned money with your partner—forever. Yes, even when you’re not married yet as you will still spend for the dates, for the presents, for the travels your partner wants to have, etc. Most of all, you have to save for the future you’re planning together. The worst part of that is the relationship is not guaranteed to last long. So if you are the type of woman who is lavish and likes to spend tons of money for the things you desire, you might want to think twice about settling with a man.

Let’s admit it, ladies, once you get into a relationship, one thing you must most likely have to give up is the girls’ night out. We are all probably going to agree that parties are the best just before daybreak! However, if you have a boyfriend, it’s unavoidable to get that text from him saying “where are you? Come home now” which is such a killjoy. If you are a party girl, you can enjoy moments more if you stay single.

If you stay single, you don’t have to worry about single or even married men eyeing you. You don’t have to feel guilty about getting all these attention from people around you because you don’t belong to anyone who might get jealous. You will also be the envy of your girl friends that are missing their single days. Staying single is also the best time to celebrate the fact that you don’t have to worry about how expensive marriage is. You can enjoy the positive things that being single brings!

When we are in a relationship, one responsibility that we have to maintain is being always neat and proper at home—laundry washed every week, fancy meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner; carpet vacuumed every weekend, and the likes because you have to consider the other person you are living with. But when you stay single, you can be a slob all you want. Not that it’s something healthy but the good part is you do you, and you can be lazy whenever you want.

Have you ever experienced where you asked your female friends to go out with you but got a regretful “no” because they have other plans with their boyfriends? Well, you should know that it’s just one of those things that you have to give up when you get into a relationship. When was the last time you cancelled your plans for the whole week to travel to another country? Now, isn’t that something to be happy about?

Oftentimes, we look for someone to be with because we are afraid of ending up lonely forever. But being lonely has its advantages too. When you are not attached to other people, you don’t have to deal with their problems. Of course, you can still offer support but you don’t have to go to an extent where you’ll get yourself stressed.

One positive thing about singlehood is that you can enjoy casual and playful relationships without any emotional attachment. When you stay single, it’s not true that you’ll end up lonely because in reality, you can mingle with anybody whenever you like. If you are the type who gets tired of one person easily, then you belong to those who are not meant for a romantic relationship. Just a friendly tip though—you can enter casual relationships but be still cautious when it comes to sex as having intercourse with different males every time has its unhealthy effects too.

It’s difficult to deal with anxiety and one most common thing that triggers it is a toxic relationship. When you get into one, you might experience low self-esteem, or you will worry a lot because your partner doesn’t seem to care about your well-being. A toxic relationship will suck out all the positive things in your life and you wouldn’t want that to happen.

You are probably familiar with the cliché saying, “you don’t have to change yourself for other people” and common as it is, you have to admit it’s not a bad advice. However, that’s not always the case. When you meet someone, unconsciously, there is still a personality of yours that will change over time because you want to impress your partner or you want people to not judge you. But if you really love everything about you and you’re determined to keep yourself just the way you are, it’s suggested you stay single for now.

When you get yourself a man, you can’t help being afraid sometimes that they will do something that’ll hurt you or that they will eventually lie as the relationship progresses. And you can’t deny that this kind of feeling is exhausting. However, if you stay single, you won’t have to worry yourself about people lying to you because you haven’t built any attachment and you can easily leave them and move on.

When you get into a relationship, there are a lot of things that you might have to give up and that include your hobbies and interests. It’s annoying when men get to decide what type of blush on we should put on, or when they get to decide what to watch on TV, right? However, if you stay single, you can enjoy the things you love for as long as you want!

One of the things you most likely have to give up when you get into a relationship is your privacy. Of course, you still get to keep some personal affairs to yourself but expect that you have to give your password to every social networking site to your boyfriend otherwise he’ll be forever suspicious of you. He will watch your every move, and he will always try to find out the people you’re talking to. It will eventually get to the point where even the happy things you enjoy will be now forbidden. Stay single if you want to avoid such events!

Of the most common things that would make any person happy is when they know they are succeeding in life—reaching their dreams and achieving their aspirations. When these things happen, you are positive that you are on your way to a healthy career. However, it’s a bit difficult to make that happen when you enter a relationship. Sure, you’ll still have a job but there is always the possibility that it’s not something you love dedicating your time to. When you get married, it’s the practicality that you have to focus on so you might have to give up on your dream career.

Successful relationships are not easy to attain. It will take years before you can assure yourself that the man you are with is forever. Relationship is hard work that you have to give time and focus and you cannot just let it go on its way the moment you and your partner commit yourselves to it. If you don’t want an additional burden and if you think that you can’t commit yourself into a relationship yet, stay single for now.

Most women get into a relationship because of the sole reason that they’re aging while some are being pressured by the society’s thinking that you should not get old alone because there will be no one to take care of you. Ladies, this is a big NO. If you feel to yourself that you are contented not being in a relationship, that’s okay. It’s not a crime to be happy about being single. Don’t do things just because it’s the custom. Do and follow what you really want.

You don’t have to get into a romantic relationship because you are already in a relationship with yourself. Just because you don’t have a man doesn’t mean you’re not loved. If you love yourself, that’s enough, and actually much better than any love coming from another person. You want to eat at a fancy restaurant? Go and treat yourself. You want to travel the world? Then go alone and meet new people. Self-love is the best because you can provide yourself exactly the things you really desire. You don’t have to go through mind games with men and beg for them to give you attention.
