It can be anything under the sun and no one cares about it because no one will ever get to know your 2 a.m. cravings.

When you are dating someone, it can be very expensive as new dress, shoes, lipstick, Cologne and whatnot, that too when you are trying to impress someone. But to impress yourself, you just need a popcorn tub and a television. Think of all the money you will save and spend on yourself.

How would your 1 a.m. friend understand this? Friendships are important relationships too, you know.

You don’t have to like his friends if you aren’t in a relationship. Let’s face it, most of the girls have to compel themselves to like the guy’s friends just because they are your boyfriend’s friends. You have to hang out with them often. Only then, you get a golden star on the pink tiara from your boyfriend. Ugh! Isn’t all this just too much drama? Being single, you don’t have to deal with all this at all.

Saying ‘NO’ can be easy when you are single or with your friends. Don’t want to go somewhere? Just a ‘no’ will be enough for your friends to understand. You can never use a No with a boyfriend or better half.

Sharing food doesn’t have to happen. There are those craving binge marathons that happen when you are single and not living with anyone. You can do that at peace. Nobody will judge you or ask you to share your food. It’s all yours!

Fights, arguments, patching up, moving in, kisses, cuddles, crying and so many more, all of this comes in a relationship. If you are alone, it’s all the more better and less drama. No arguments, no love fights, no patch ups or break ups. You are on your own.

Having a relationship is a happy-committed life with someone. But, in a single relationship, you are your own boss and enemy. Nobody has to dictate you and the experience is worth it.

If you are single for a long time now and you are worrying about it, here are some things you shouldn’t worry for being single!
