Being Single is Okay

I know what your thinking being single means I'm by myself and I don't have anyone to share holidays with, do things with, or even cuddle with at night. What if the person you like doesn’t accept all of you and try to change you? What if they don’t match your energy? I know society makes us believe if we're single we're lonely and can't find love, however, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Deciding to be single can be good for a variety of reasons. For example, It can give you a chance to work on yourself so that you're the best person you can be. You can decide what things you really want to work on within yourself and do that. It also is a good time for self-care taking talk to relax and do the things you want to do. It can also give you time to decide what kind of person you want and who is best for you. Especially being a woman and trying to date can be extremely hard there are so many expectations of women when dating such as what we should do to please our partners how we should look, how we should dress, etc. It can be mentally draining. It can cause a woman to lose sight of who she is and what she is worth. For this reason, there is nothing wrong with staying single and waiting for the right one especially when you are in the phase of life where you are ready for marriage and looking for a life partner. When you decide to be alone it means you’re doing what’s best for you and remember to not accept less than what you deserve.

When you are ready to date take it slow don’t jump into a relationship with the first person you talk to. When you first meet the person get to know them and give them the chance to get to know you that will be things easier as you go along if it works out. Dating will be difficult at times, but it’s not meant to be something you should stress about dating or frett over. It’s meant to be fun and exciting. When you meet someone new with who you have a common interest or meeting someone who is different from you and you being able to learn new something new from them it should be like an adventure that your taking. I know social media has really changed the game for dating people are more willing to meet on a dating app than meet in person for an actual date they are more interested in seeing how many followers you have than getting to know you. I know your struggles trust me that’s why social media in so many ways is a blessing and a curse. Although, social media seems like the new way to date try doing it the old-fashioned way meet someone for coffee or dinner or whatever you prefer ask them questions that have nothing to do with their followers or what they tweet get to know the person, and let them get to know you. Now, this part is key and something a lot of people don’t realize it’s okay if it doesn’t work out even if it was going great in the beginning then went south it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you or that your undatable it just means they weren’t the right one and the one for you hasn’t arrived yet. It doesn’t matter what your friends, family, or strangers say you know what’s best for you, and when you live, love, and laugh through life the next best thing is around the corner. Happy dating and good luck!
