There’s nothing wrong with being single. Many have been single all of their lives and will continue. Sometimes you have to appreciate being single before being with someone else but then again, it’s always nice to have someone.

It’s easy to get hung up about wanting to be with someone but in many ways your quality of life decreases during a relationship. The best thing about being single for me is not having to share a bed. And not being accountable to anyone, but that’s a given.
Nice blog. Please check out my dating disasters when you get a minute.

If a relationship is reducing your quality of life, then it’s just not the right relationship. The right ones always enhance.

Honestly, this statement is one that is usually repeated by people who are looking for reasons not to get serious with someone. That has been my personal experience. But it’s not a fair blanket statement. Because with the right person, there is no question your life is enhanced because they share it with you.

As for sleeping, it’s just something to get used to. If you sleep in a bed with someone enough, you’ll adjust and sleep just fine. Trust me on this one.

I have roommates, but I’ve noticed that even if I’m all alone, I say “excuse me” when I belch. It kind of amuses me.

Hypothetically, were I to experience a gaseous expulsion while alone, I may say something more like “That was a good one!” But obviously being the delicate flower that I am, that will not happen.

I do expect to see another post soon, titled …

“What I Like About Not Living Alone.”

I happy for you sweetie!

Well you’ll have to wait a while for me to build the list. Took me two years of living alone to write this one!

fabulous post! I feel exactly the same way. I’m in love with a great guy and wonder what the future holds, but I am also in love with living on my own. perhaps it’s possible to have the best of both worlds – there is not enough attention paid to alternative arrangements… please keep us updated on what it’s like to live with a boy!!!

Oh don’t worry, I’ll be sure to continue to post and you will undoubtedly get the tales of living together too.

Sleeping alone is the BEST. Waking up with your special someone is nice, but the sleep is never as good as when it’s totally quiet and still in the bedroom.

All dark and quiet and still, and everything’s the perfect temperature… but at least I’ll gain the ability to roll over and cuddle at will!

Wait – you have to stop walking around naked when you move in with someone? DAMN!
Love your list

Most men would assure you the walking around naked does NOT have to stop. However, it’s not as fun when someone else is leering at you.

LOVE this post – and I totally agree with all of them…I was so afraid of being alone, living alone etc., but REVEL in it now. Amazing switch!

Absolutely! Don’t bash it til you try it.

I love living alone too. There really are perks to it… of course, you also have to change the liter box, take out the trash, and do the dishes all by yourself. Take the good with the bad, I guess.

At least in my apartment we have a trash service!

Even though I’ve never lived with a guy, I think this new adventure is certainly worth embracing. Sure, you’ll both have to make adjustments for each other, but I have a feeling it will be worth it.

Oh I think the same, or I wouldn’t have decided to do it.

I hear ya sister! Those are all the things I love about being single and living alone! No one to answer to but me!!!

I don’t mind so much the not being single thing. But it will be a big adjustment to live with someone else again.
