When it comes to being single, people have two ways of dealing with it; method one is to find another person to date ASAP so they are not lonely and then there is method two, which is accepting that you are single because of x reasons (school, career, want to take a "heartbreak," etc..).
For many people like me, it's not easy getting a "soulmate" because we either have too many high standards that don't fit in with the mainstream dating or that we are unapproachable because of looks, personality, and not following society's rules. Which is fine because it is their loss, people who don't follow the norm are the most exciting, energetic and nicest people to walk along this earth compared to the ones that do follow society's norms.
Most people are choosing to be single because they want to focus on school, careers, goals, friends, or don't like how the dating game is working nowadays. Some of the people that are choosing to be single that I know are some of the gorgeous people ever with the kindest hearts but want to get where they want to be before settling down.
I've never had a serious relationship, I've been in two, and the longest was two weeks. Even with being away from my hometown dating is still hard. Since I've been at college, I haven't met anyone, and it's fine because let's be honest my life is the biggest mess right now and I need to get it together before going into another relationship. Plus my classes are important, and so is my future, I want to be able to support myself before I commit to a serious relationship.
I've seen my friends getting into relationships, and I'm happy for them because if they're happy, I'm happy. I rather see all my friends get their perfect beginnings, then myself because they are better people and have been through so much.
If I ever get into another relationship, I pray for the man because I am stubborn, and I'm not normal. So I wish him luck,
