I Am TOO Happy Being Single!

If you're a single woman (like moi), especially if you are in a romantic comedy or on a sitcom, a typical conversation with your mom might go something like this: MOM: So, are you dating anyone? ME: HAHAHAHA. No. MOM: Oh. I'm sorry. Oh, great Mom. After all that empowerment stuff you taught me, you're disappointed that I'm alone. But, you know what I am actually happy being single! So happy, as a matter of fact that I'm writing a whole guide about it just to prove you wrong! And one peep about "denial" and I'm never giving you grandkids, EVER.
Getting Haircuts
I personally have never had a boyfriend like this, but I know that there are a good number of guys who are uptight about their girlfriends cutting off all of their hair — even if it looks better bobbed than stringy with split-ends. When you’re single, this is never a concern! You can get a mohawk or an ironi-mullet or whatever you want!
Sleepovers
When I was a kid, I always loved slumber parties. Staying up until all hours of the night, chatting about boys, playing truth or dare, watching Dirty Dancing and being generally silly. As an adult, my slumber parties are pretty similar in nature, though the BAC of those in attendance is usually elevated a little bit higher than when I was 10. But if you want to have a girly sleepover when you have a boyfriend, you have to plan it ahead of time so he can have something to do, tell him when you’re going to be home, who you’re going to be with and all of that disclosure that’s involved in “committment.” Yech.
These little premixed cocktail packages have always insulted me as a professional drinker AND a misogyny watchdog. But they sure are cute.
Cooking for One
Oh, whoops, this headline should probably say “Not really cooking ever.” It’s not like I’ve ever cooked, for boyfriends or anybody, but I think people that are in relationships tend to stay home a lot and cook together or for each other. I’d rather make and/or order and/or eat whatever I like without regards to someone else’s allergies or quirks or what have you.

I’ve heard that cooking classes are a good place to meet men. Um, straight men? Really?
I don’t know, but Sur La Table at The Grove has a myriad cooking classes like knife wielding and braising. Or something.

Hipcooks
Learn to throw a dinner party! Having friends over anytime is another perk of being single. And not having to invite his friends.
The Obvious
Non-monogamy.
Casual Encounters
Not recommended…
Savage Love
HIGHLY recommended.
Planned Parenthood
For education & free condoms.
Staying Healthy
That is a cute plush version of a nasty thing: the flu virus. When you have a boyfriend and HE gets the flu (or a cold, or the clap…well, then you’ve got another problem) I can pretty much guarantee you that you will get what he has. When you live alone, aside from the disgusting people at your office, you are in control of your own germs and it’s much easier to avoid them than when you are sharing the bed with some sick-o!
And the flip side...
Why I Heart Being Married
Ok, mswen, if you say so.
Cell Phone Minutes
With no boyfriend I have way more cell phone minutes than I know what to do with! Maybe I can sell them…
Bad Television
Well, in the grand scheme of things it’s probably a drawback that being single means I can watch I Love New York whenever I want with no complaints. It’s a good thing I can’t afford cable.
Reality Blurred
Your guide to all things Reality Television related.
Home Decor
You want the Christmas tree made out of peacock feathers even though it is completely ridiculous? Well, you can put it up with no complaints! Same goes for neon pink wall hangings, Precious Moments figurines, monkey doormats and ironically gaudy lamps.
It’s a major award — and I don’t have to explain it to anyone because I am single!
Girl friends
It’s a TV stereotype that guys don’t like the friends of their girlfriends’, but guy’s don’t like the friends of their girlfriends’. Unless all of your friends are really hot, there are certain girls that my significant other just never wanted to hang out with because they were “annoying” or “boring” or “dumb” or whatever. Yeah, maybe they are those things, but I still like them — and now I can hang out with them whenever I want!

I agree. I recently started dating someone but am having sooo much trouble getting used to it. I like him a lot, but wait, I have to call him? He wants to hang out?? But I watch The Bachelor by myself on Monday night. I can’t hang out! Ohh man, I’m in trouble.
