5 Quick Answers To That Favorite Question: “Why Are You Single?”

If you're single I am sure you can relate to at least one awkward moment in your life when you've been asked, "So...any special someone in your life?" This is an especially popular topic at family gatherings. Then after you respond, you are challenged with the question, "Why!" like there is something wrong with you.

If you didn't already know, I am here to tell you.... it is OK to be single! Sometimes there are more important things to worry about than changing your relationship status on Facebook.

Here is a quick list of completely reasonable and logical answers to clear up anyone's confusion about your love life.

1. I am too busy. I have to focus all my energy on so many things, like work and school. Often I feel as if there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. I want to be able to have time and effort to devote to a relationship.

2. I need to focus on myself. My body and mind need some work right now. I don't feel ready to share my world with anyone. I want to be in love with myself before I try and love somebody else.

3. I haven't met the right one. I don't want to date someone just to say that I am in a relationship. To me that seems like a waste. I want to take my time and find someone I'm compatible with. Someone I have a connection with.

4. I want to be single. I'm having fun and being carefree. By no means do I feel alone. I have everything I need right now in this moment and time. My friends and family are all I need right now to make me happy.

5. I love my freedom. I enjoy being independent and on my own. I like being able to make decisions without having to consult anyone. For example, I could get up and travel right now without having the guilt or worry leaving my significant other.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
