It\u2019s just like Old Man Winter to come along and snow us in, prevent us from getting to work on time \u2013 and remind us how single we really are. During the cold season, you get to see your friends loved up on Christmas Day, proposing on New Years Eve and announcing their first child on Valentine\u2019s Day. Not cool.<\/p>\n
There is something achingly romantic about the winter time, but when you\u2019ve been single for way too long, you just remember that you haven\u2019t had someone to warm up too for ages. When was the last time you got to take an idyllic autumn stroll in the park, or kiss your lover under the mistletoe? It just isn\u2019t fair how winter reminds us of all this! If you\u2019ve been single for a while, here are 10 signs that it\u2019s been far too, FAR too long.<\/p>\n
If A Guy Checks You Out, There Has To Be Something On Your Face<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s not only been so long since you were last in a relationship, but it\u2019s also been so long since a guy even checked you out.<\/p>\n
In fact, it\u2019s been so long that when a guy does check you out now, you instantly assume that you\u2019ve got something on your face, such as a boil, a wart \u2013 or even a piece of food.<\/p>\n
But while your last wart vanished over a year ago, your self-esteem is clearly still in the drain.<\/p>\n
Everyone wants to set you up<\/b><\/p>\n When you\u2019ve been single for too, you start getting set up on pity dates by every friend you\u2019ve ever had \u2013 including ones you haven\u2019t seen since high school.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got the perfect guy for you!\u201d<\/p>\n Only, he isn\u2019t perfect, and neither were the 234 other \u201cperfect\u201d guys.<\/p>\n You prefer napping to going on a date<\/b><\/p>\n An essential part of your single life these days is taking a nap. You probably can\u2019t even survive a day without a 60 minute power nap in the early evening anymore, and you\u2019ll cancel all new plans before you skip a nap. After all, you\u2019ve got no man in your life to spend time with, so what else are you going to do?<\/p>\n You\u2019ll even cancel a date if the guy can only make it during power nap time. After all, there\u2019s just no way you\u2019re going to lose your beauty sleep for a guy.You\u2019re so set in your ways that your familiar routines can\u2019t be broken. If they are, it just sends you all out of whack.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve already considered freezing your eggs<\/b><\/p>\n You haven\u2019t even casually dated someone for ages, never mind planned a family with someone! As such, you\u2019ve already looked into the possibilities of freezing your eggs or even adopting an African child. Hey, it seems like more of a reality right now than starting a family with a real man!<\/p>\n Maybe you\u2019ve also had a look into sperm banks, or asked your friends whether they really want to keep their fifth child.<\/p>\n \u201cReally? You really gonna need that many?\u201d<\/p>\n You wonder about possibilities<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cCan you marry yourself?\u201d you tap into Google late at night.<\/p>\n \u201cDoes living with a cat mean you\u2019re technically in a relationship?\u201d<\/p>\n Your grandma has stopped asking about your love life<\/b><\/p>\n It\u2019s always been your grandmothers wish that she\u2019ll get to see you settle down with a nice man before she dies. As such, she\u2019s been asking about you and your love life since you were sixteen.<\/p>\n Now, though, she\u2019s tired of asking. She just wants to be left in peace to watch her gameshows and smoke her cigarettes.<\/p>\n In fact, all your family has stopped asking you about your love life, from your mom to your aunties. There have even been rumours that you gave up on men,\u00a0but no one has said it to your face yet. They\u2019re politely waiting for you to say something first.<\/p>\n You know the worst day of the year is February 14th<\/b><\/p>\n When you\u2019d been single for a year, you probably had a good giggle at yourself when Valentine\u2019s Day came around.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m in my pyjama\u2019s eating ice cream in my favourite TV-watching position. What is my life?\u201d you ask yourself with a pinch of humour.<\/p>\n Fast-forward five years and you can no longer laugh when Valentine\u2019s Day comes around. This is no joke anymore. This is like a broken record that nobody is switching off.<\/p>\n Your most recent ex is married<\/b><\/p>\n The guy you broke up with a while back may have begged you to stay and told you that he couldn\u2019t live without you.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone but you!\u201d<\/p>\n Except, it\u2019s been so long now that he\u2019s got over you, got married and is expecting his first child.<\/p>\n While you\u2019re still doing Netflix and chill.<\/p>\n Indeed, there is nothing that reminds us how long we\u2019ve been single more sharply than an ambitious ex who has to go and get married, get a mortgage and have kids. As if we don\u2019t already know we\u2019ve been single for a while!<\/p>\n You hate Sundays<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cI LOVE Sundays!\u201d you used to scream enthusiastically at your boring parents who said Sundays sucked because it meant they had to go back to work tomorrow.<\/p>\n But you loved Sundays because they meant cuddles and hugs with your boyfriend.<\/p>\n Nowadays, you know exactly why Sundays suck. They were made for lazy walks in the park, pub lunches and cuddling. Without all that, there\u2019s just a vast greyness until Monday morning comes along.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t remember what your type was<\/b><\/p>\n You\u2019re certain that a long time ago in a distant land you had a type, and you also had standards. For example, you\u2019re sure that you never used to date fat guys, while bald guys were also a big no-no.<\/p>\n These days, though, you\u2019ve just not got a clue about who you\u2019re attracted to, and who you\u2019ll say no to. Maybe you\u2019d draw the line at alcoholic dwarves, but maybe you wouldn\u2019t? You just don\u2019t know!<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Source: Beauty and Tips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s just like Old Man Winter to come along and snow us in, prevent us from getting to work on time \u2013 and remind us how single we really are.
