so why is it girls who are single are seen as a lower and outcasted member of the sexes? i find people judge me as soon as the words “i’m single” leave my lips. people shut you out, move on as if you have nothing to add to their conversation and then leave you once again alone. But the big question is, do i mind this? and i have to honestly say no.
i have the freedom to do what i want, when i want, whenever i damn well please. i do not have to wait up for good night calls, i do not need to think of anyone else when i decide to head off on another globe trotting enterprise, i do not have to drag someone along when i meet my friends and vice versa. i can meet friends after work on the spur of the moment without having to call in all the time to someone else. i don’t have to go through the horrible experience of bringing someone home to meet the parents, out partying if someone catches my eye i don’t have to worry about jealously, and i don’t have to shell out for 2 at dinners out.
of course there is the downsides, if i get a wedding invite who exactly is my plus one? on work do’s when partners are invited why am i banned on bringing friends? when i fancy a hug who can i turn to? when i go on planes i always sit next to couples and am made to feel like a gooseberry. i have to pay a full hotel room rate for single occupancy, can’t go out with coupled up friends without being made to look like a leper as i am obviously the odd one out.
but you see these are not massive problems, so i am alone in the presence of couples? truth is one day i will too be coupled up again and dreaming about my single life. So cut out the middleman and stay single is what i say!!!!
you know i write all this, re-read it and now i am pondering if i actually believe what i have wrote, but that question is for another time my friends.
