Movies make some things look better than what they actually are. Yes, we all want those walks on the beach holding hands, to get flowers at the office and romantic dinners but if you think about it, how often does that actually happen and who has time to do all that in a week?! Being single on the other hand does not have to be lonely. You might not get sweet texts and flowers at the office but here are reasons why it better than being in a relationship.

More friends

People who are single have a better social life. They are free to mingle with more people because they are not confined to just one person all the time. The time an attached person would spend every weekend, they would spend with different people.

Managing finances

Relationships are expensive. If you had to add up the dinners out, vacations, gifts and favours that would amount to a lot of money. As a single person means you will be able to save more and use that money productively elsewhere.

Achieving more

More time to better yourself!!! In a relationship, most of time is spent with your significant other. If it’s not work its them. Including texting and calls in between. With being single comes the benefit of doing what you want with your extra time, such as looking into furthering your studies, taking up a new hobby and peaceful naps on Sunday afternoons.

Freedom to see who you want

As people we all have more than one interest, we just choose to be with one of them. As a single, you are free to test the waters with any of your potential interests without the guilt of cheating on some one. When you feel good and ready, then you can consider one of your potentials. That’s if you were looking. There s just no one to answer to when it comes to who you were with, where and why.

Freedom on social media

Having your significant other may have you feeling like what you say of do on social media is being watched. You just might get that “We need to talk” if you like some ones picture or you happen to be too friendly with a person too often. A single is free to like, comment, poke, retweet anyone because they have the liberty!!!
