You see a smoking hot guy playing football shirtless at the park? You're totally free to hide behind a tree and watch while drooling copiously. Is there a new guy with gorgeous eyes signed up at your gym? You can guiltlessly get on the treadmill next to theirs and show off just how impressive your ten minute mile is. When you're single, it's okay to shamelessly creep on people you find attractive (just a reminder, that says creep, not stalk - don't be a weirdo).
18. No Agonising Over Proposals Or Whether You're Going To Get Married
Be honest, how many otherwise great relationships have you seen ruined because someone drags their feet or isn't sure they want to get married? When you're single, you don't have to endlessly speculate about when your partner might ask and become increasingly more upset the longer it takes them to. Alternately, you don't have to worry that you might make a shambles of the proposal or that your partner might say no. Nope, you're too busy dreaming about the hot guy from the park.
17. You Never Have To Deal With Awkward Or Ugly Breakups
Especially like the ones that come over the whole marriage debate. Single people never have to worry about the gut-clenching discomfort of shedding your partner OR the soul-crushing despair of being broken up with. If you're not in a relationship, you don't ever have to break up!
16. You Don't Have To Spend Money To Buy Gifts Or Celebrate Special Couple Holidays
Not having a significant other just means one less person to spend your hard earned cash on during Christmas. And Valentine's Day? Anniversaries? Forget it, man - single people are not concerned. Instead, you can spend it all on yourself. Who needs a boyfriend to buy them flowers and chocolates; you can send them to yourself and no one will ever know the difference (probably).
15. You Can Travel Wherever You Want
When you're single there's no trying to agree on the best vacation spot or complaining about where someone wants to go on holiday. Instead, you can you use the money you save not having to buy gifts and go wherever your hearts takes you. And if it turns out awful, there's no one to obnoxiously say I told you so.
