So, like, then why are you single?

Ahh.... the age old question. Nothing gives me hives more than when someone, after asking for my opinion on their dating situation, asks why I am still single. I want to meet the woman or man that first asked someone this. WHY is it any of YOUR business why I am still single? You came to ME for the advice, so clearly you thought I had some sort of knowledge you'd benefit from me dropping on you?

Okay, so now that I am done ranting I should probably answer the question. Well, to be truthful, I don't know why I am still single. I am not by any means being arrogant, just being honest. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I'm pretty smart, funny, outgoing and attractive. I'm not Jennifer Aniston or anything but I think I'm a catch.. Okay you know what?? TOOT TOOT!

But seriously, the reason I am single is simple... I TAKE MY OWN DAMN ADVICE!. It's not hard people. Practice what you preach! I am very traditional in many ways. I am a woman who likes to be pursued. I don't want to run around chasing after guys all the time. Can you say pathetic? Sweetie, if he hasn't called you after a date and its been a week- he's not going to call you. Move on while you still have some dignity. Men are not complex creatures, ladies. Also, if you only see him after 10pm and one of you isn't spending the night at the other's- RUN. He's not looking to make you the future Mrs... he's probably not even looking to make you his next dinner date!

Another reason is because I know what I will and what I will not tolerate. Ladies, please educate me on something because I feel like I am out of the loop! Why on earth would you keep getting yourself into the same situations over and over again. If you're miserable today, you're probably going to be miserable tomorrow. I'm not saying relationships are supposed to be raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens all of the time. But,seriously! If you cry more than you laugh, and doubt more than you believe then you should probably just move on. I mean, when there are friends in our lives who constantly make us feel bad about ourselves or are toxic to our lives- we get rid of them! Why should it be any different than the men we date? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't take to kindly to heartbreak!

Know your worth ladies! Someone out there is going to love you unconditionally! You don't have to settle any longer. When you find someone who knows you inside and out, loves you for you, and calls you just to say hi, kisses you in the morning when you haven't brushed your teeth yet.. THAT'S when you know you've got a keeper! No more feeling like you aren't good enough. Be picky, damnit! Know how you SHOULD be treated and go with that. If you are in a relationship and feel like you can't win or your feel like HE has settled, walk away. You deserve better.

I may constantly give out amazing relationship advice- but know that I am also talking to myself. I would rather be single the rest of my life than feel like I've settled. So, like, THAT is why I'm single and lovin' it!
