You’re a total catch. You know it. Your friends and family are always reminding you of it. You’re awesome. So, why are you still single? That’s a very good question. Although you’ve totally embraced the single life (because, let’s face it – being single can be pretty amazing), there’s still part of you that wonders, “why I am still single?”
If you’re in a similar predicament, here’s a few reasons why you might still be single even though you’re an awesome catch.
-
You’re waiting for the right person.
You know what you have to offer – you’re smart, funny, kind and would make an excellent boyfriend or girlfriend to someone – and you’re willing to wait to meet the right person who is your equal. You don’t want to get seriously involved with someone unless the situation feels 100% right. When you do meet that person, it’s definitely going to be worth the wait.
-
You’re not willing to “settle.”
You’ve worked hard to build a happy life on your own terms that’s full of great friends, a career and lots of fun experiences – so, why would you settle for a relationship that’s less than what you really want? Besides, you’re comfortable being alone until you meet the right person.
-
You want passion.
Sure, you meet a lot of good people online but just because someone is a great person or a good catch on paper, doesn’t mean that sparks are going to fly. Although you value having a solid basis of friendship in a relationship, you also want to be with someone who really ignites your passion – mentally and physically.
-
You’re a romantic.
Late night “you up?” and “yo, wanna hang lol?” texts just aren’t cutting it for you lately. You’re holding out for some serious romance – or at the very least, someone who doesn’t text “send nudes.”
-
You don’t need a relationship to validate your existence.
Although it would be nice to meet someone eventually, you don’t need a relationship to feel complete or worthy – and that’s a good thing. You see having a partner as an added bonus not as a life goal that you must meet by a certain point in time or else your self-worth will crumble. You’re confident that you’re more than enough on your own.
-
You’re too busy enjoying life.
You live a full life. You have awesome friends. A busy career. You travel. You go to concerts. You have a bunch of nerdy hobbies that you love to geek out over. You’re not actively looking for someone because frankly, your schedule is stacked. Love often happens when you’re not searching for it, so you’re going to keep doing your thing.
-
You’re trying to build a career.
Whether it’s launching your own business or trying to move up the corporate ladder, your main focus right now is your job. And no, being “busy with work” isn’t an excuse – you’re legitimately trying to build something meaningful for your future that you can hopefully, eventually share with someone else.
-
You’re not willing to disrupt your life for just anyone.
Ok, let’s be real – you’ve become verrrrrry comfortable in your life as a single person. When you’re not out doing awesome, fun, things you’re chilling at home, doing whatever the heck you want with zero judgement. Whether you’re at home in your pajamas binging on Nashville or at a cafe reading the latest from your favourite author; you’re not willing to give up your single person freedom for just anyone. In order for you to make time for someone new, they have to be the right someone. Period.
-
You’re looking for someone who isn’t intimidated by you.
You’re confident and you have a lot going for you. Unfortunately, this scares some people off. But, you’re not looking to date those people. You’re looking to find someone who isn’t afraid to meet you on the same level. Until then, you’re OK being single.
-
You just don’t want to be in a relationship.
Simple as that. If you’re not 100% ready to be dating someone – don’t sweat it.
