You've Been Single Way Too Long Because...

Being single is great. You can do whatever you want, whenever, wherever and how you want it. You can come and go as you please. And you don't have to answer to anyone. But however great it may sound, being single is equal to being alone. And being alone your whole life is just not that cool. Being single is tantamount to being sad, lonely and, yes, celibate. So you better stand up from where you are sitting and go to the nearby bar and get yourself a drink. And maybe get yourself a pretty little girl or a hunky, handsome guy who will be willing to go out on a date with you and change your very lonesome life. You have just been single way too long because you...


...assume that you repulse women.
This is not good. Because confidence is one of the best weapon anyone can have in this dog-eat-dog world. And if you have become a single for too long, there is a tendency for you to lose your confidence that you can attract other people. Most people will take a smile or a prolonged glance as a good thing, but not for long-time singles. They have the tendency to take this as people making fun of them and judging them.

...develop bad eating habits.
Because you're always along with nothing to do, you tend to be hungry all the time and craving for food you really don't have to it. Imagine yourself being someone who have just been dumped by your partner, and put that in a time line that extend for years. Junk foods like ice cream and chips are your only friends.

...become too emotional.
Simple questions from friends and colleagues like "How are you doin'?" are answered with long, emotional dramatics of your single life. This is especially true for men who are known not to become too emotional. If you just keep on crying and being a baby about your sad life, better going out more.

...develop poor dating standards.
Okay, so you decide to get up off your butt and go out to find someone out there. But when you reached the bar, you find just about every single person there as attractive even though they are not. This is just a sign that you have been alone for too long because your judgment of other people is starting to plummet. Especially if you're the kind of person who used to be a choosy when it comes to people you go out on dates with.

...get a pet.
You have been single too long, you are always sad and alone. So you think that going to the pet store to get a dog or a cat will solve it. When this happen, back away for a second and think. Do you wanna be that old lady next door with bunch of cats and no other friends? Definitely no!

...surf the Internet to meet people.
Okay, so online dating is a legitimate way to find a date. With this entry, we are actually talking about those mail-order bride sites. If you're a guy and you start surfing these sites "just out of curiosty," there is something wrong with you and you better start assessing the situation before you do something drastic and stupid.

...look at friends as possible lovers.
This is just sad. There's a reason why they are your friends. So you better not scare them off because that boat have already sailed. Just don't be insistent enough to believe that your pals are going to be more than just that. Hey, you may just end up losing friends when you become stubborn.

...play too many video games.
There's a reason why geeks and nerds don't get the ladies. That is because they are too busy with all their science stuff and video games. And if you start engaging in activities like them, well you are becoming one of them because you've been alone for way too long.

...ask your mom for dating advice.
This is probably the last resort for you, especially if you're a guy. You've been single for so long that you are willing to take that awkward step to ask your mother about relationship. Though they may know what's best for you in most situation, parents should just be left at the dark when it comes to people you are trying to get to bed.

...Google for old your exes.
They've already left you. Or you left them. And there is a reason for this. So if you start looking for them once again, or worst, check up on them, it just means that you have become too desperate because you've been alone too long.


What the hell are you waiting for? If you have at least one of these things, then you better get up from that couch. Stop being sad and lonely and start going out more. You definitely need a drastic change with your social life and you better start going on dates before you become a sad middle-aged loner.
