you get married your auto insurance goes down as though you have suddenly transformed into a more responsible being simply by placing a ring on your finger. Even individuals who are divorced are treated as though at least they tried and were capable of being married, whereas those single people haven’t even tried. We need to discover the value or even the art of being single.
The single years of one’s life can be some of the most beautiful experiences. I spent the evening relaxing at a sports bar watching the NBA Playoffs and enjoying a meal to myself. It was very serene and I found that I am actually really good company if I must say so myself. There are so many things that we are afraid to do alone that can be just as enjoyable or in some instances more enjoyable than if we were to do them with a group or significant other. Here are some ideas of things to try on your own:
- Go running
- Watch a movie (at the theater)
- Dine out
- Take a hike
- Attend an art museum (this is one of my favorites)
- Get drinks at a café
- Many, many others
More than anything society and especially the 45% of society that is single (yes it really is that high) need to learn to embrace the joys of being single. As you learn to be happy with yourself and can appreciate single-life as a happy period of life, you become more attractive and will bring pieces to a relationship that will help make it a lasting one.
So go out and enjoy singlehood.
