Why you're single...

You’re single because you’re single. 


It’s not because you texted too much or too little or waited thirty three minutes to respond to a text because he took twenty three. It’s not because maybe you were a little too forward in a text or in a facebook message. It’s not because you obsessively check his twitter for updates. It’s not because you met up and went for dinner with your ex that night, or because you kissed another man after you went on a date with a complete moron.



You’re not single because you dribbled your drink on the first date or tripped over the curb coming out of the cinema. You’re not single because your tights laddered half way through a date, you’re not single because you’re hair was tied up. It’s not because you were secretly jealous when your best friend got a boyfriend or that a guy you dated for two months now has a gorgeous girlfriend and looks really happy. You’re happy for him, but confused why you are still single.



You’re not single because you slept with your friend. You’re not single because you kissed that guy in the nightclub who had a girlfriend, while you were both under the influence. You’re not single because half the world found out and blamed you. You’re not single because you think the guy your friend wants to hook you up with is unattractive or not tall enough. It’s not because you’re not willing to put up with someone who doesn’t brush their teeth on a regular basis.



You’re not single because your standards are too high. Good for you for having standards. It’s not because you didn’t like that really, really good guy who wanted to take you on a date and you just weren’t feeling it. And it’s not because you like to wear pj’s anytime you are at home and parade around with zero makeup on.



You’re not single because you didn’t learn enough from the past or would rather enjoy your own company on a Friday night with a pizza, duvet and a movie than get ready, and go out. You’re not single because something is wrong with you.



You are single because you are single. You haven’t made the connection with another heart yet. You can get dolled up, look glamorous, change your hairstyle, dye your hair, tweeze your eyebrows, put on lipstick and you may still be single. You can go out to a bar hoping to meet the love of your life and not find a single person in the venue to be attractive. It’s going to remain that way until it’s time for you to find one. Stop hoping and looking for it. Start living the life that you do have instead of wishing for things that you don’t have. There will come a time. Start being more thankful. Start living for you
