Stop And Drop These 8 Bad Habits

The right person will come along when you least expect itù is a bloody myth created to make single people everywhere feel better about their failure to find a mate. Do you really think that if you stopped making an effort in your appearance, stopped being social, turned down dates, and were negative all of the time, your soul mate would magically appear in your life?

If you believe that, you are in for a rude awakening.

Life doesnít work that way. Everything, from getting a promotion at work, to finding a life partner, takes effort. Youíre not going to meet anyone if youíre binging on Netflix every weekend. You need to crawl out of that shell of yours and understand that, if you donít want to be single, you need to make a change. Whether itís changing your attitude to be a more pleasant person, or losing those excess pounds to look better, make a change if you want to see results.

# You fantasize more than you live

You tend to dwell on what if scenarios far more than you live in the real world. You probably also fantasize about your imaginary boyfriend or girlfriend and think about all the fun stuff you would do together. Snap out of it now, because absolutely no good can come out of living in la-la land.

# You are tired of hookups

Find yourself trying to convince your play buddy to stay the night? What about inviting them out for a date that doesn't involve getting naked? Here's a thought: perhaps you have come to a point where hooking up doesn't do anything for you, and you yearn for something more.

# Jealousy rears its ugly head

You despise all your friends who are in happy relationships and cant help but turn green with envy every time they regale you with relationship stories. You can't help but feel sorry for yourself and you tend to wonder why the universe is so unfair.

# You whine about it

Everyone, from your BFF, to your cleaning lady knows that youíre tired of being single. Once you verbalize it, itís most likely true. Some of you may not have the courage to say it out loud, but if you catch yourself incessantly thinking about being in a relationship, that counts as whining, too.

# You call up exes

Thinking about your ex and wondering what went wrong is perfectly normal, but if you go the extra mile and call them up to rekindle the romance, you have certainly gone too far. Once youíre willing to overlook the fact that you guys didnít work out the first time around, you have to admit that youíre in a tired-of-being-single pickle.

# You forgot how to share

Being single means having everything to yourself. From hogging the blanket, to ordering takeout for one, thereís no need to share anything if thereís no one special in your life. Once you start resenting others for assuming that youíre down to share something *whether itís splitting the check or enjoying a buy-one-free-one savings*, you should realize that youíre not being cheapóyouíre just getting too comfortable being single.

# You detest weddings

It's not just weddings that put you offsite any event or gathering that showcases couples, love, romance, and everything that you don't have. If planning your friend's stag night or throwing your cousin a bridal shower makes you want to throw yourself off a cliff, there's a chance that youíre sick of being single and want to find your special someone.

# You agree to blind dates and online dating

It's a general belief that, once you resort to blind dates and online dating, you're desperate. This isn't true for everyone, of course, and may be a nasty stereotype, but if you can't find yourself a mate and have to resort to these options, you must really want to find a partner quickly.
