Pros:
1. Having the whole King size bed to just myself... Ok also with Jeff and Shiloh.
You're probably wondering who is Jeff? He's my faithful teddy bear which I've had for 15 years.
And of course Shiloh is my gorgeous doggy.
It's nice having the bed to myself. If I shared it with a boy (yuck) then I think he'd find it odd me spooning Jeff whilst Shiloh sleeps under the covers (don't judge!).
2. Full control of the remote. I don't think sports has ever been on in my house (expect for the rugby but I wanted to see how talented those athelets are - it had nothing to do with those tight shorts and huge shoulders).
I can watch Dinner Date, First Dates and Take Me Out whilst scribbling notes without judgement.
3. No shaving required! In winter, it's acceptable to let my leg hair grow for an extra layer against the cold.
I think this is perfectly acceptable as I don't have anyone (other than Jeff) to spoon with on those cold nights.
4. Accountable to no one. There is no one (other than Daddy sometimes) who I have to let know what time I'll be home or explain all those shopping bags too.
I can do what I want, when I want.
5. No need to justify myself. This is similar to point 4 I guess by being able to wear what I want (without being called smutty) and not having to censor what I post on social media sites, is great.
Unfortunately people judge and I like not being with someone who judges me.
I've learnt from the past that those who have strong negative opinions on what I do and say, is a form of controlling - something I will never tolerate.
So now for the not so great points of being in singeville.
Cons:
1. Eating the same meal two days in a row. Whatever food shopping you buy, it's always 'for two'. Think about it a packet of two salmon fillets, 500g of mince meat.
When I actually bother to cook for myself, I always end up eating the same for lunch or dinner the next day.
2. Nobody to care for you when you're ill. When you are feeling poorly, you sometimes just want someone to look after you.
I'm having an operation next week and it's a little sad knowing I won't have someone to bring me flowers or fetch me a cup of tea when I'm recovering.
3. Too much alone time. When you're literally the only single person in your group of friends, it leaves you often with a lot of time alone.
I'm very independent so I don't mind going to the cinema on my own or for dinner but sometimes it's nice to share it with someone.
Plus alone time means you think about things more - this isn't always a good thing.
4. Justifying your single status. I feel like I am always having to explain to people why I'm single.
They mean well when they ask why I'm single but there's only so many times you can explain that you just haven't met someone who you feel is your equal.
5. Feeling wanted. This so goes against my whole 'independent women, I don't give a crap' attitude but if you're with someone special, they make you feel wanted.
I miss doing the little things for a man. Things like making him lunch, leaving little notes for him and buying little treats that you know will make him smile.
This post have got me thinking about whether this whole single life is the best thing for me?!
Either way I know that I'm not desperate to date just anyone. I have a great life as it is, so it'll take a pretty special guy for me to change my status (especially so publicly on Facebook).
