In this day and age, you’re expected to want to be in a relationship. People are always giving other relationship goals, and it seems like the only way you’re ever supposed to be happy is when you have another person in your life romantically to make you happy.
News flash – being single can be so much fun! Why do you always have to have another person around to make you happy, when you can be plenty happy doing things on your own, independently, and having a fun time! There are so many great reasons to spend some time being single, and here are just a few of the absolute best ones I know!
Freedom

You kinda have a free pass to reset your life when you’re single. If you’re looking for an excuse to move somewhere, start a new career, or just travel for a bit if you have the money, then you can totally do that!
Being in a relationship can sort of force you to turn down opportunities or make different decisions so that you won’t have to break up or deal with a long distance relationship. But this way, you can totally take that job offer across the country, take a few weeks off to travel around Europe by yourself, and have some new experiences that you might not be able to have if you were in a relationship.
Go crazy

Have some fun trying to reinvent yourself, or just trying some new things that you’ve always sort of thought of doing but were too afraid to do. Being single means that you don’t have to try your hardest to impress your significant other on a daily basis anymore.
So if you wanna try something new (but not too crazy) with your outer appearance, change your hair color or pick out some new fun things for your wardrobe, you can totally do that! There’s really nothing stopping you anymore from finding a new part of you that you might not have known even existed, and you can have fun reinventing yourself!
No strings attached

When you’re single, you don’t have to worry about hurting someone else’s feelings with your actions. You can totally go out on the town, pick up a cute guy or girl, and just have a good time. Flirting is harmless when you’re single, and you don’t have to worry about avoiding certain people because your significant other will become super jealous if they find out it.
I noticed you around. I find you very attractive

No need to make an absolute decision. Personally, right now I’m loving just playing the field, having a good time flirting with any guy I feel like, and not having to feel tied down to one man. Being young you should be focusing on having a good time, feeling free to do what you want without having to worry about someone else. If you find a cute person when you’re out one night, you don’t have to feel bad about pursuing something with them – even if it’s only for the night.
Hot mess extravaganza

You get to be a young, wild, and hot mess without feeling forced to keep yourself together for a significant other. All aboard the hot mess express! When you’re single, it’s sort of an excuse to go out, misbehave a little bit, and not care about what anyone thinks about you.
Especially if you’re just recently getting over a pretty rough breakup, it’s totally okay to head out to a bar with a few of your other single girlfriends, grab a cute guy to make out with at one minute, while flirting with another guy by the end of the night. No need to feel bad about it, because you’re just having a good time.
