Those of us who have been single for a while now are pretty proud of it. We know there’s nothing wrong with us and that sometimes life just works out this way. Want to know the biggest secret of happily solo women? We’re totally happy on our own and we don’t worry about finding love — when it happens, it happens.
- We know this is the right path. We don’t get down on ourselves because we think we should be married or coupled up by now. We know that things have worked out this way for a reason, and that when we DO fall in love, we’ll be ready for it — and it’ll be our best relationship yet because it’ll come at exactly the right time with the right guy.
- We don’t try to change the future. Of course we go on dates and hope to find a relationship someday (and hopefully someday soon), but we also accept our pasts, presents and futures. We know we can only control so much and that fate has a funny way of deciding things for us.
- We live every day like it’s our last.. Instead of crying over our boyfriend-less lives, we make a point to smile and have as much fun as possible. Sure, we’re not always 100% happy and we’re only human so we do get lonely from time to time — but that doesn’t stop us from finding the silver linings in every situation.
- We move on fast. When we get ghosted, rejected or learn we’re in yet another crappy almost relationship, we don’t stop for a minute. We move on super quickly because we know something and someone better is on the horizon. There’s no sense in wasting our time and energy on anything less than we deserve.
- We’re cool with uncertainty. We live our lives with the thought that tomorrow we could have the best date of our life — or the absolute worst (and that’s saying a lot). We’re okay with not knowing how things are going to turn out, and we’ve made peace with the constant doubt of the single life. It’s part of the deal, so we’ve learned to roll with it.
- We don’t judge. We don’t give anyone a hard time about how they want to spend their time, whether they want to be in happy relationship or fly solo, because we seriously hate when people try to judge us. We’re compassionate towards our single friends and always support them — and we’re having way too much fun to pick apart why we didn’t get that second date or why we got rejected. Who has time to care?
- We ignore the BS. We hate the typical dating stuff that everyone hates, but we don’t dwell on it. Why would we? We’d rather live our amazing lives and concentrate on things that bring us joy. We can’t stop the dating BS, but we can ignore it, and that’s honestly the next best thing.
- We don’t give up. We may not have love in our lives yet but we’ll never, ever give up. We know we have something awesome to offer someone else and we want to share our amazing lives with a partner, but the search doesn’t frustrate us or make us feel bad. Instead, we feel super calm and peaceful most of the time. As long as we keep trying, we know we’ll get what we want. In the meantime, we’re going to accept our single lives for what they are: totally and completely amazing.
