Before I begin this new crazy rant, I would like to go on a rant about something that's been bothering me for a while. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE that I know has dates lately, and it's been driving me insane!!! It seems like this:
B: Hello, person I have never met in my whole life, I like that outfit you're wearing. Would you like to go out with me?
G: Of course I'll go out with you, person who's name I don't even know!!!
Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system. Anyway, here are...The Reasons Why I'm Glad That I Don't Have A Boyfriend:

1. Less stress. Much less stress.- It seems that everywhere I go nowadays (you see this, too), there's a couple arguing over absolutely nothing. Whether it be not going to a certain shop at the mall, parking the car in the "wrong" parking space, or arriving only 5 minutes late to a date. Whatever it is, couples are always arguing about something. When you're single, nowhere near as much arguing, in fact, I think you save a lot of breath that would be used for arguing, but that's just my opinion.

2. You save more money.- Penny pinchers, this is just for you. Most people in relationships have so many specific dates that they have to remember. If I'm right, here they are: New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and of course...RELATIONSHIP ANIVERSERYS!!!!! There's probably more, but for most of them, they have to remember to purchase something special for their loved one. And that adds stress. Singles don't have that option, but they can do all of that for their friends if they want to. That, and time is also saved.

3. Less rumors.- Don't you hate rumors about you being spread around school/work? I thought so. Anyway, most couples find out the hard way that the craziest rumors about them have been spread, and there isn't even a little bit of space to put in the truth, either forcing them to hide from that general public or to unfortunately break up. Whether it be that mfmftgnfj and hcvdkfbf made out at the park, or ddsvfdv and hhfvhucfh eloped to Niagra Falls, there are always rumors being spread. Sure there are still rumors when you're single, but there are much less. Probably the craziest thing heard when single is "Did you hear how hcbchcbdhs used to be a batgammon champion?" or perhaps "Tdczc used to be a belly dancer! Who knew?!"

4. You can truly be yourself.- I know that most people in relationships say how they can be themselves, but are they truly themselves? Most likely not. Say you enjoy astrology and the Arthurian legend, and he likes something the complete opposite of those. He only likes you because of your looks, and wants you to stop what you like and do what he likes. Most people do as he says. Can I say something? One of my best friends says that if no one likes you for who you are, leave them. I couldn't agree more with her. So you can feel free to hit him with your words by saying no and walking away. And not looking back at all. To most boys, that hurts. A LOT. So be yourself and be happy.

I would like to conclude by sipping my cup of tea, and saying what I think of being single. Well, it's lonely, but it's quite nice. I may not be dating anyone, but I've still got my family and small group of friends. I've also got two particular people who cheer me up and give me advice when I need it. Isn't that right, boys?
