DISADVANTAGES OF BEING SINGLE

And now we come to the disadvantages of being single, because yes, I can say how cool I am how happy I am to be single, but I'm just a down right sucker for love. Christmas is right around the corner and honestly, I’d rather not be ‘Lonely This Christmas’. Now, it’s not my intention to make all you single ladies (myself included) feel down, but here are all the disadvantages we know all too well:

– Super nice, such a big bed just for you, but if you’re like me and a snuggle bug, well, then that bed can be quite lonely.

– Let’s talk about those cold feet from your bed partner. Really annoying, yes. And now you have no one to warm yours up.

– You don’t have a boyfriend to get through this list with.

– I don’t know if you have brothers or sisters, but I have two sisters, both with the sweetest boyfriends on the planet. Great for them, really, but then I show up at our family Christmas dinner sans plus one. Crying.

– And you always end up at the singles table at weddings.

– Binging series on the couch from Netflix is secretly much more fun with a nice boy to cuddle with.

– And when you’re sitting on the couch together, you share that bag of chips or chocolate instead of eating it all by yourself. Bye bye, calorie overdose.

– Then you always have that damn question: ‘How come, you’re so nice?’ APPARENTLY NOT.

– You have less sex. Unless you’re a Tinder pro.

– Your friends always want to set you up with someone (although this can also turn out to be really fun… ;)).

– Sure, you have plenty of friends you can talk to about everything. But it’s still different than with your partner.

– It’s actually quite boring to always cook just for yourself…

– If you’ve had a bad day or you’re not feeling well, there’s always someone at home to cheer you up or make you some soup.

– We may think that we women can do everything ourselves, but those strong man arms are definitely a big miss.

– Double dating with your bestie who has a boyfriend? Not possible.

– And always being the third wheel, that really gets annoying, doesn’t it?

– And finally: single life is expensive! Groceries, rent, and all other fixed costs that you have to pay all by yourself because you can’t split anything 50/50. Just calculate how long it will take to buy that designer bag of your dreams. Sigh.
