Perks Of Being A Single

Being single is so liberating. Many people now choose to be single as they have enjoyed the benefits of being a single. I cannot deny it that when you are single, you can really do many things and just be who you are. I have known many people who despite of having many suitors, chose to reject them and be happy as a single. Right now, my friends who are single are still as happy as ever and I can’t really tell them to be in a relationship when they are happy as is. Because of this, if you are one of those people who are currently single and are planning to stay that way for a long time, then I will give you some advantages of being single.

You can go anywhere you want without obligations.

            Since you are single, you don’t really have to think about other people when you visit another country. You won’t have an responsibilities left behind, you won’t have any person who will be waiting for you when you get home which is really a good thing since you can enjoy your travel more. Being in a relationship really takes a lot of effort and you have unspoken obligations to your partner which you won’t have since you are not in a relationship.

You can do whatever you like.

            Actually, you can do whatever you like even if you are in a relationship but it is more liberating when you are single. For example, you want to go to a nightclub, when you are in a relationship, you won’t easily go there as your partner will ask who you are going with and what time you will be home but if you are single, you can easily go there without any interruptions. You can even go shopping as long as you want and no one will get angry if you finish shopping for a long time.

You can be with your friends all the time.

            Being single means more time to be with your friends and more time for yourself. You will definitely be able to hang out with your friends more often as no other person will be needing your attention. Being with friends is certainly a good therapy especially when you feel stressed and your friends can also give you happiness. Personally, I think having friends is more important than being in a relationship where there’s no certainty if you will always be together.

You can hookup with other people.

            Hooking up with someone is now commonly practiced by a lot of people. People who engage in this act long for pleasure and excitement that it brings but with the absence of commitment which makes some people scared. Traditional relationships and dating are slowly fading with the introduction of the hookup culture. Many people are now into a relationship without being committed to that person. Most of the time, commitment feels like such a huge responsibility that they need to shoulder for the rest of their lives that’s why people want a no-strings attached kind of relationship. They don’t have to wonder if the guy will call them or if the guy is with another person because hooking up is about the pleasure not the romance or commitment. Most people hookup because they are in it for the excitement and spontaneity.
