Rate: (16 Ratings)

Being single doesn't have to be a bad thing! Whether it's temporary or whether you plan on remaining a lone wolf, there are plenty of ways to enjoy or even celebrate your lack of romantic involvement.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Your pretty little self

Step1

Have a positive outlook.

Involvement in a romantic relationship is not a sign of success. It is also not a requirement for being a complete person. You don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to be happy, and you certainly don't want just ANYONE. Realize this, and you are halfway there.

Step2

Keep busy.

Being single is often equated to being lonely. Such is not the case. Hang out with your friends, join a local club, or start spending time at the gym. You'll soon find your schedule so full that you don't have time for being lonely.

Step3

Treasure your friendships.

Just because you aren't dating someone doesn't mean that you have to keep them at an arm's length. Spend quality time with your friends and let them know how much they mean to you. This doesn't mean you have to get all emotional on them; just try not to take them for granted.

Step4

Spoil yourself.

Part of being single means not having to pamper anyone, right? Wrong! Pamper yourself. Instead of that weekly date, get a weekly pedicure or save up for tickets to a concert. Take a hot bath, go for a walk, or stay up all night watching Star Trek if you want to. You're single - you can do whatever you want!

Step5

Flirt if you want to.

Who says you just have to sit there waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet? Flirting can be fun. When the other person flirts back, it can be quite the ego boost. Why not let other people realize how attractive, interesting, and desirable you are? If they're the right person, then maybe it's time to get involved. If not, you can still have a great time.

on 9/27/2007 Good job! I figured that I had better know how to enjoy life as a single person because it would take the same discipline after marriage. As I now am happily married - I tell my children- fun is what you make of life.
