#1. You Refuse to Settle<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

True, you haven’t met the\u00a0love\u00a0of your life, but you also haven’t lowered your standards and settled for a relationship that fails to excite you. Many people reach a particular age and figure it’s time to settle down. But sadly, in such cases, settling down often entails settling.Marriages of convenience or those that occur because “it seemed like the next logical step” lack passion and enthusiasm, leaving their members vulnerable to tedium, strife and\u00a0infidelity. But you won’t compromise for a lackluster union. And for that, you should be commended!<\/p>\n

#2. You’re Not Afraid of Being Alone<\/strong>
\nToo many people limp along in mediocre or unhealthy relationships refusing to call it quits because they cant handle being alone.Pervasive social pressure to couple up and a lingering stigma associated with single status can cause even the strongest of us to pale at the thought of going stag to yet another wedding, benefit or office party. But hanging on to someone to avoid the discomfort of lonely weekends is not only lame, it’s cruel. No one wants to be used like that. So kudos to you for braving the social scene\u00a0sans<\/em>\u00a0a plus one!<\/p>\n

#3. You’re Staying True to Yourself<\/strong>
\nYou probably hear a decent amount of advice as to how you need to change in order to meet The One. Unsolicited commentary on your\u00a0dating\u00a0style and approach may come from various sources \u2014 your mom, married friends, and even exes. Of course, you want to continue to grow to become the best\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0possible, but at the same time, you need to remain true to yourself and be authentically you!Ultimately, the person you end up with will want the genuine article, not some manufactured persona designed to snag dates.<\/p>\n

#4. You Don’t Need Anyone to Make You Happy\u00a0<\/strong>
\nExperiencing adulthood without a partner is perhaps the best ways to learn one of life’s most important lessons \u2014\u00a0no one<\/em>\u00a0can make you happy except yourself. When we’re coupled up, it’s easy to expect our significant other to make us happy or blame him\/her when we’re feeling low. Of course, in strong relationships, our partner’s presence greatly enhances our overall life satisfaction. But ultimately, responsibility for our emotional well-being is ours alone. Single adults know it’s their job to make themselves happy every day \u2014 period. What a wonderful quality to bring to your next relationship!<\/p>\n

#5. You’re Staying Positive and Hopeful<\/strong>
\nAfter a handful (or slew) of unsuccessful relationships, it would be easy enough to give up and get into a negative space about the whole dating scene. But that’s not you! In fact, here you are reading about love and relationships looking for inspiration, encouragement, and maybe a tip or two. A positive, upbeat attitude consistently ranks as one of the most attractive qualities people look for in a partner, so remaining hopeful can only help your future chances for love.<\/p>\n
