Being single definitely has its highs and lows. But there's no doubt that flying solo is sometimes way better than dating. This may be one of the only times in your life when you can do whatever you want and when you want it.

When you get into bed, you can lie starfish-style! Stay out late and sleep in as long as you like - who’s judging? Buy the expensive bag or the overpriced shoes you love. Appreciate being young and free!

I illustrated 15 things that every single girl can relate to.

I think this could apply to some guys as well, at least me anyway.

Agreed, kinda. At this point, the only boys I care about are: 1. My male bff 2. My other male friends 3. Maybe a cute(ish) guy who is also weird who has impressed both me and my bff (see #1) . This meme only applies in that situation.

    So true. At one point, I thought the man of my dreams somehow ended up being my bff, and that he actually liked me, but if I dated him, and it didn't work out for us, then things would have been eternally ruined.

    I think that only the second, fourth, and fifth actually apply to me. Yep, that's right, my dating self-esteem is so low that even an imaginary character guy of my dreams doesn't like me. That's not even taking into account that he was specifically designed to like me.

    Never mind the stereotype or whether its girl or woman, the deeper meaning is that all humans long for a deeper relationship with some partner, whoever that may be, or whatever gender that may be. Alone forever? Not good. And I do not mean friends, other family, etc., I mean deeeeeep love. Of course one has to begin with oneself, but to get to higher level one must step outside our "oneness".... imho
