27 Stupid Things All Singletons Are Tired Of Hearing

"Why do you have so many batteries?"

Bridget Jones Gif The most difficult realisation that you have to face when you're single is that you desperately want to be in a relationship but at the same time, you want to remain as free as a bird for as long as possible. You enjoy having your own space but you wish you had someone that you could share intimate moments with - hell, even having someone there to give you a piggy back would make your year. You probably over-analyse every single relationship that you've been in and you can't understand why your love interest suddenly stopped talking to you one day when you thought it was going so well. And of course, you're too scared to ask them why in case they genuinely say "it's not me, it's you." You're tired of hearing the phrase "there's plenty more fish in the sea" but damn it, you wanted that one particular fish and now it's swam away and crushed your hopes of ever being happy again. You're struggling to find someone who understands your weird yet hilarious sense of humour who isn't your bestie, and the worst of it is that everyone else in your life has something to say about your love life. And sadly, getting them to shut up is a daily struggle...

27. "At Least You Don't Have Any Drama"

This may be true, but you'd rather have your own drama rather than continue to be forced to listen to everyone else's. For some reason, despite the horrifying fact that you're single, people always come to you for relationship advice and you have no idea why. You can't even get a boyfriend so why are people wanting you to tell them to to act with theirs? It's probably because you have a constant supply of cookies and ice cream and they know your bad advice sounds better with sugar.
