    You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. No questions asked. No guilt about doing it either. You don’t have to make excuses. You don’t have to call someone to check in on her or ask permission to go somewhere.
    If you had to ask permission to go somewhere when you weren't single, you were with the wrong kind of guy [or girl].

    It's all fun and games until you need something off the top shelf!

    Some repeats but my faves:
    Garlicky pasta :)
    Not having to shave
    Getting to sleep on my ENTIRE pillow :P
    Sprawling out on the bed
    Oh yeah, and being totally selfish working two jobs and training for MARATHONS without having to worry about him wanting all of my time (PS, I have gotten way hotter since we broke up too hahahahaha)

    LOL, I think the only good thing was when they killed spiders for me. I fend ok for myself when I lived alone but I had an excuse when I had a guy to do it for me. I'm much braver when I'm single so maybe relationships are bad for me :P

    Sometimes I forget how hard it is to be in a relationship. I like the one about nobody holding you back. Also:

    - Don't have to listen to lame excuses
    - Nobody to make you cry
    - Don't have to worry about infidelity
    - Don't have to put up with his attention on video games rather than on you. I swear I deserved so much better
    - No more sacrificing or compromising.
    - No more trying your best to please their parents and family, especially if they hated your guts
    - I can finally go home late, a bit drunk from dancing with friends and nobody will tell me off :P
    - I use to get complained that I don't dress up at home (Ehh..like what century did he think we lived in?!)
    - No one is the boss of me!

    Single.....what's this single of which you speak? :laugh: I vaguely remember being single but I'm sure I'd love it and hate it equally. I love being with someone and likewise hate being alone.

    To all the singles out there though, I say enjoy it, live it up, accomplish things you want to before life gets in the way. :tongue:

    You can buy as many shoes as you want!

    Jealous of those of you who have the bed to yourself -- I share mine with the dog! :blushing:

    I know how you feel. I share mine with a cat. He doesn't understand boundaries as in this is your side of the bed and this is my side. :laugh:

    What I like about being single... Hmmm...

    Pretty much everything :bigsmile: Hehe! But yet there's still that nagging loneliness at times. If there was an anti-loneliness medicine, my life would be perfect:happy:

    Not having the constant blare of video games in the background!! :laugh:

    Making life changing decisions and only considering how it will affect me.

    Oh, and I agree with the girls about the random hook-ups. :drinker: Or even casual bar flirtations!

    Don't get down being single....you can do what you want, work on the things you want to achieve, still have fun with friends. With respect to lonely, good thing for cable tv. Also, it seems when I want to go out, there are always people willing to get together and do things.

    *no arguments ( I hate arguing it's so pointless) and I get along fine with me
    *no drama
    *no one tryna always figure out where I am, where I'm going or what time I'm coming back
    *having my bed to myself
    *watching whatever I want on tv
    *being able to dance, wet in the mirror out of the shower without someone saying the music's too loud or I wet the floor
    *no expectations


    I know there are more, these are just off the top of my head! :happy:

    I agree with all the previous posts - Can't think of any more at the moment...

    When I get down, I just jump onto MFP to admire the Hotties! :laugh:

    Not having the constant blare of video games in the background!! :laugh:

    For me -- it'd be playing my video games without him trying to TAKE OVER and tell me he can do better than I can! Psh...

    and also being able to decorate my apartment the way I want to! This means:
    - I can turn the bathroom counter into my make-up counter
    - PINK! accessories
    - Audrey Hepburn posters
    - I can pick out cute cups and dishes :flowerforyou:

    You can focus completely on yourself and your success

    Flirting can be fun

    This is just what I need. I thought I was the only single woman in the world!!!

    OK so can I be gross. I have an old cat (which as a single woman is cumpulsory) and she can't go out anymore so she uses a tray. Me ex used to make me feel sooo embarassed if she took a poop while he was in the house. He'd look at me as if I'd pooped in the damn tray!

    This is too much sharing isn't it? :blushing:

    My favourite reason: being able to have girlie-time whenever I want! If I had a boyfriend (especially a live-in boyfriend) I wouldn't have the freedom to have my girls over anytime I wanted for boy-bashing, make-overs, chick flicks, etc.

    And don't forget being able to slum-it-up in sweats and no make-up! :happy:

    I could possibly be taking off to live in Georgia (as in, the capital is Tbilisi, not Atlanta) to teach English for a year. I am also applying to the Peace Corps, which would be a two year commitment. It would be pretty hard to do either of those if I weren't single.
