bcpianogal View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 02:21 PM OK, this is getting out of hand: Two or three Facebook friends are posting recent wedding pictures, another one or two are posting wedding shower pictures, and I now have six (yes, SIX) friends who have posted that a baby is on the way. I need a break! Cheer me up, please! What are some of the perks to being single? Post Reply
Jewels133 View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 14 Apr, 2011 01:09 AM LOL This is cool! 1. I can have guy friends without a boyfriend getting all weird about it. I'm actually the kind of girl that can be "just friends". Why don't people get that? 2. I can sleep all sprawled out in the middle of my bed and hog the covers. 3. No one is jealous of my relationship with God. My last boyfriend had a fit about my faith. Now I know why the Bible talks about couples being equally yolked. :) 4. I have time to myself to do the things I enjoy. 5. I can make whatever I feel like cooking for dinner, without consulting anyone else. 6. If I don't feel like shaving my legs for a day or two, no one is going to see them but me. 7. I get to control the remote control. 8. I don't have to feel like anyones babysitter/mother or be embarrassed by a guy acting all immature or foolish in public. 9. I can eat a salad without anyone making "rabbit food" comments. 10.I don't have to listen to guy music or watch the latest adrenaline junkie action flick if I don't want to. Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 14 Apr, 2011 06:06 PM Being single... I work a lot (three jobs), so nobody tells me to take a day off. All the money I get from work goes where I see fit. I can geek out on video games when I have a spare moment. I can serve my church when ever I have the time and am asked to. My drama count is about zero. Yeah, that is a quick list for me. Post Reply

Being able to clean the apartment when you feel like it. Almost always being able to have your own schedule. Being able to talk to whoever you want without other people getting unnecessarily suspicious. Not having to make joint decisions on so many things in life. Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 08:57 PM Baby on the way? That's all I need to hear to remind myself that those happy sappy wedding pictures don't always lead to fairy tale endings - usually they equal dirty diapers, arguing about bills... etc. I'm so happy I have time to pursue my own passions, hobbies and career, that I live on my schedule, not somebody else's, and I can go wherever I want and not worry about a man being able to find a job there, etc. Anyway, your life ends when you have kids... there is strain on the marriage, and the two of you will never have a moment to yourselves to enjoy each other, or a hobby or something, for years. Sure, baby has naptime, but that's when you'll be showering, exercising off that pregnancy fat... all those must-do's that hardly ever become done's with a baby there. And you might even want to grab some zzz yourself - kiss your regular daily schedule goodbye, hello to waking up every 2 hours of the night! So, anything you love to do - reading, sports, having time for God and friends, kiss that all goodbye when the big belly comes. You don't have someone else telling you what to do, and no one's opinion to have to consider when making decision other than your own. If you like to save - no one to spend your money on random, large things. If you like to spend - no one telling you what to do with your money. The house gets run your way. You don't have to feel bad serving left overs or not vacuuming for a month. Anyway, I could go on for ever about how the idea of having a baby reminds me how great it is to be single. Message me if you want more... I could make this a regular installment... :P Post Reply

View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 2 May, 2011 09:34 PM I have to agree with most of what everyone's said so far. There really ARE perks to being single...not that I would want to ALWAYS be this way LoL But seriously...when I think about it, it's 1. I don't answer to anyone but God 2. I can leave my house and go where I want to without permission I mean, the last guy I was with was SUCH a Christian, that he didn't think it was right to watch any movie (I'm talking even cartoons) and if I tried to voice my own opinion he told me to quit talking back! I felt like I was always just waiting for him to notice me, and I hated feeling that vulnerable. Anyway, that's why I'm not looking for anything beyond friendship right now. So being single definitely has its perks! LoL :yay: Post Reply
joesgeo View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 10 May, 2011 08:12 AM I can decorate my house how I like. My money is mine. Ditto for my time. I can work a lot if I want to. Post Reply
proverbs31twist View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 13 May, 2011 09:41 PM I can spend all the time I want with God! I'm completely free to have God utilize me in whatever way He wants to without having to worry about what my partner thinks, wants, etc (If God's plans lead me out of state, what will my partner want? Will he be willing to go with me? Will he try to talk me out of it? Will i not be strong enough to take that step?) More time to be involved with school....I'm taking 6 classes this summer, it would be really hard to find a partner understand enough to go along with that intense of a schedule! Free to randomly take road trips on my own without having to coordinate schedules with someone else Mission trips Post Reply
OutOfStep View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 16 May, 2011 10:25 PM Single life is un-flippin-believable! Gone are my days wasted on frivolty. No more dating aimlessly, biding time until we break up. I can see life! I have time to stop and smell the roses. I can hang out with all my friends. No fighting EVER. No discussion of dinner! I leave when I want, I can shave when I want, I can make annoying noises for no appearant reason and not offend anyone. I don't need to shower (but I do, everyday). I can drive crazy, dance crazy, and sing loud and off key, if I wanted. I can sit where I want at church, I don't ever have to explain my jokes, and I never need to stay in. I spend more time talking to God, which is probably the biggest part, and more time reflecting on myself, my faults,and how to better myself. I have had the best time OF MY LIFE since I stopped dating crazy. I am content. The only way I will date again is if she can bring something more to my life. Because as of right now, God has blessed me with time, and I don't think there's anything better right now.. Post Reply
