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
bcpianogal View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 02:30 PM Some selfish ones: 1. I don't have to share a bathroom. 2. I don't have to cook if I don't feel like it. 3. No one messes with my stuff and puts it where I can't find it...if I can't find it, that's my own fault. 4. I have the whole closet to myself. 5. If I don't feel like washing/fixing my hair on Saturdays, I don't have to...no one cares if it's a frizzy mess. Some that I've learned from married friends recently: 6. I don't have to ask his permission before leaving the house. 7. I have money to spend on whatever my little heart desires...and I don't have to ask him before I spend it. 8. My car is MINE. I don't have to ask him if it's ok for me to drive it. 9. I can stay out LATE if I want to, and drive back home by myself after dark. I don't have to plan my schedule around what is convenient for him. OK, I feel better now! Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 03:34 PM Yep. Number one is freedom. If I want to go off by myself an do something, I can up and go. If I want to go home for the weekend, I can go home for the weekend. If I decide Friday afternoon to go to Dahlonega, I can just go to Dahlonega. No one's going to get mad at me for how I drive, how I give directions, how my bathroom is arranged, how I choose to sleep, when I choose to sleep, whether I go to class, etc. I don't have anyone just springing obligations on me either, which is even better. "We're meeting my parents for dinner tonight," doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Oh, and you can have all the friends you want. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 09:23 PM The ability to go to bed/get up whenever I feel Eating dinner when I decide I'm hungry Singing/dancing like complete dork when a song I like comes on the radio and not having anyone see me Not have a billion throw pillows for every couch/bed Letting dishes pile up in the sink until it's time to put them in the dishwasher as opposed to loading them as I go Come to think of it, I've only not been single for like 3 months of my life so maybe these are more like the benefits of living alone...:goofball: Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 05:33 AM lol I love everyones answers. Well I've only been single for about two months, since I turned sixteen. I've always had a boyfriend. Once I got over the intial shock of not having a boyfriend. It is very good. My perks might different from yours, because I have never had a healthy relationship. 1. No jealous man wanting to know my where abouts. 2. No mood swings over dumb fights. 3. No being used. 4. No being abused. 5. Self-esteem shooting up like a rocket. 6. I get to think, and express my own ideas, without a man telling me thats stupid. 7. I can have all the girls night outs I want. 8. I can have friends. 9. I can spend my money on what I want. 10. I don't have to dress up for a man, I can decide to dress up, just to dress up. 11. I can spend more time with my daughter. 12. My heart is not broken. 13. Closer to God then ever. 14. God has time to heal me. 15. No distractions. lol I could go on forever. Yea seriously im thinking single life is for me now. Which would normally scare me. But I know its what I need to heal, so I could eventually have a healthy relationship. And attract the healthy nice christian men. :applause: Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 07:22 AM Good answers! I guess I was thinking along the lines that single = unmarried, as most of my "perks" would still be applicable even if I were dating someone. Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 10:51 AM Being single...sigh... you can wink at the boys in the park, and know that boyfriend won't get jealous. Being single gives you so many liberties to just be yourself. Being together with someone you end up mothering them, but when you're single you can be rough and tough. haha Being single you're not constantly worried about whether that person really loves you. You're just kind of happy that you have friends and family and they matter so much! Being single, well, you don't have someone telling you what you should do all the time... like how many hours of sleep you should get, etc. Being single, you spend more time with your girlfriends. Also being single you value others more... both guys you are and are not interested in. You value them because you realize these people could be single, just like you, and they probably are experiencing similar things that you are experiencing. Being single has its benefits! Post Reply

View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 11:43 AM lol "The man zone". Wondering if I can disguise myself and sneak into the man zone. My church is a huge church and they always have these "man conferences". They look so cool. But I can never go :( Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 12:38 PM Oh, I was actually just thinking the other day how great it is to be single. The best part about it is doing what you want to do and no one else being there to have a problem with it or complicate it or coordinate with or misunderstand you. Just focus on making yourself happy and doing what you want to do because you want to do it and being yourself and not playing games or supporting some one else and wondering and having that ever present insecurity and worrying about how they will feel and react about something and not having to put some of your focus and energy towards all of that. That's just me though. Post Reply
View Profile History	Perks of being single? Posted : 13 Apr, 2011 11:23 PM Mmm. There are none... ? Um, okay... 1. Being able to keep strange sleeping hours. 2. Being able to not shave my legs when I'm sick, because I don't have to worry about anyone seeing. 3. Being able to decorate the way I want to without a guy trying to infuse his manliness into the space =p 4. Being able to wear sweats, put my hair up in a topknot, and not wear makeup, and have a lazy day in of watching chick flicks and eating things I shouldn't. Post Reply
