Dear Matt,
Everywhere I look there are couples. I am so sick of seeing people in love and I hate myself for hating them! Help! I am single and sick of it.
The first thing you need to realize is that everyone of those people you see, was once in the same situation you are in, and it’s really not so bad. Being single can be a blast, and you must embrace this stage in your life. If you don’t, you may miss the time you had to yourself. Here are some things to do during your singledom that will pass the time and perhaps prepare you to meet the right person, instead of just anyone.
•Just because you don’t have someone attached to your hip, doesn’t mean you can’t go out.
•Be happy and realize a relationship takes a lot of responsibility and time.
•Right now, you are free to do anything, with anyone, at anytime…remember that’s not a bad deal.
•Work on yourself inside and out. Guys are visual, so give they some eye candy… work that body girl!
•As for the inside, reaffirm who you are and where you want to be in your life by making a five-year plan. You must know who you are before you can understand what you want in someone else.
•Observe couples closely and don’t get jealous! Become a student of relationships so you can identify what you want in your next relationship.
