Do not hang with couples if you're the only single. Absolutely must not.
Excellent advice, but it's a little hard when absolutely EVERY ONE of your friends is a couple.

arrrggghhhh tell me about it. If my aunty asks me one my time "so do you have a man" I will .....probably smile meekly and say, no, no still single" then go home and watch bridget jones and get drunk on cheap wine and cry myself to sleep. nah, it aint that bad, but seriously, just cos my cousin has an endless run of boyfriends, doesn't mean the rest of us follow the same path.
I have been single for "insert a lot of years" and for the most part it hasn't been too rough. This last year though, I have really started to feel that having someone special would be nice. I finally feel that I have reached a point in my life where I am settled and happy with me and I want to share it!
either that or Im just gettin really toey :D
Plaz : Just that for some bizzare reason my life seems to have 'clicked' right now, and I'm absolutely loving it, not loving being single, just loving LIFE damnit, it rocks!
You could take this to read that I am one happy motherfuckin camper!
Cool.. then maybe you would feel like changing your sig. to something equally happy and worthwhile?

...and you alcoholic fruitcakes wonder why you're single.

I used to do the exact same thing. Next time I get my heart broken though, I'm taking a step up, drinking alone but in the dark corner of a pub somewhere so the whole world can see how miserable I am.
