Yes, I’m happy being single. No I don’t want to be set up, no I don’t want to go on a blind date and no I don’t want to date you. So please let me be happy all by myself and stop with all this pressure to be someone I’m not. This is my choice and time is not going to change my point of view. —Just stop

  1. Valid bitch, OB. I’m sure most people mean well. They just find it hard to accept that there are people who are comfortable being on your own, need lots of time to themselves, and would prefer solitude over a partner who is not a good match.

    Ironically, it’s more likely that you will eventually meet someone who is a good match if you simply go about doing things you like to do – rather than putting your life on hold while you desperately look for someone. And even if you never meet a partner, you will still be doing things that interest you and having a rich life.

  3. Totally agree with you ‘Single and happy’. I’m living alone for the first time since university and by gah, I find I like it! I’m beginning to think that I may fall into the category of someone who’s better off on their own than with someone since the stuff I like to do doesn’t usually involve someone else. It’s weird though, I do feel like a bit of an outlier – a peaceful, content one, though.

  4. Most sensible bitch I’ve read in yonks. I love people who love themselves enough not to get tripped up by conventional bullshit like the rest of the herd.
