You get to spend time with you! I've just been realizing how to be content with myself. It's hard to do at first, and takes a lot of effort, especially if you got out of a hard relationship.
When you're in relationship, you have another person to cherish and love. They're your partner, and they consume a lot of your time. When you're single, you get to know and learn about yourself; how you are at your best and at your worst. You can focus on your goals what you want to do(:

You shouldn't need anybody else to complete you. Having a significant other can be great, but it's important to know how to be happy without one, too. I'd recommend focusing more on self love!

Firstly, being single doesn't mean you are a loser, which is kinda myth amongst people.
Atleast you are not amongst the ones those who doesn't fall in love and still get themselves engaged in casual relationships which is of no use. Hanging around, roaming around with someone you doesn't love is really not appreciated.
I think you are going on the right direction, wait for the right one, and spend the rest of your life with that right one.
Think this way, it will surely make you happy!:)
Thank you.

Treat yourself and take advantage of the freedom! Exercise, start a new hobby, pamper yourself. Know that when you start looking after yourself and improving your self confidence, you'll fall in love with being single!! In the future someone will come along and see how much respect you have for yourself and will be the best and most respectful partner you've ever had.....

By loving and respecting yourself. And you do that finding something about you you always wanted to improve. For me i began with getting better grades. I started reading again and painting. The end results made me so much better that I knew I would lower my standards for anyone because I love myself way too much.

Think of it as an opportunity for personal growth - a period of time where you get to discover your own passions, interests, and truly be selfish with your time. You have the ability to put yourself first. A lot of times, this personal growth slows or stops upon entering a relationship - couples tend to grow together, goals and dreams tend to change from individualized goals to group goals, and even personal preferences on simple things like what you would eat, watch, listen to, or do with your time change to be a group decision. Try to embrace this opportunity for self discovery. The opportunity to share everything you will learn about yourself with a future partner will eventually come.

Although it is hard when your friends are all paired off and you are constantly feeling the third wheel of the group, you can enjoy the single life by working towards your goals and focusing on you time and doing things that make you happy. More often then not it's when you stop searching for your mate that they appear in your life. stressing yourself out over being single is not doing anyone any good. settling isnt an option and you know you are single for a reason since you were likely unhappy in previous relationships anyways

Get to know yourself more. What makes you feel really hopeful and fulfilled? What gives you joy? Also, spend more time in developing your talents and skills. Find a hobby. Enjoy experiences with your loved ones. And always remember that you are not alone. You are loved. Live and love well.
