Types of
Singles: Which One Are You?
Here some of the many "types"
of singles out there. Which one are you?
Ending a Short-term Relationship
Most of us can count how many people we
have dated and thought “wow, he’s the one, I just
know it.” We all want to fall in love and be happy.
Dating can really be a painful but fun process. I personally
don’t want to date anymore. I just want to find my soul
mate. But, I am still having fun. It’s like a test drive
and just driving around the block isn’t going to give
you insight as to whether you have a future together. What
ever you do, move through it and you’ll find the one.
Ending a Long-term Relationship
First, don’t say “I wasted all
this time.” Nothing is a waste of time, trust me. Each
and every relationship teaches you something and there are
many lessons to learn. Sure, it's tough when you have given
your all to a relationship but just be thankful it didn’t
go any further. I’m sure we all have turned a blind
eye to the signs that things are on the down slope with your
partner. Just get back out there and do it all over again
but this time be a little wiser. Try not to repeat your patterns
that just seem to get you into trouble. Have fun and get back
out there.
Divorced Singles
Although I have never been married I have
many friends who have gone through this process. Whether you’re
a man or women this can be a very painful process. I think
the one positive aspect is that you get a second chance to
move on to the next phase of your life. I highly recommend
that you consider therapy to deal with any hurt, anger and
unresolved feelings. Take time and figure out who you as an
individual. Do all the things you haven’t had the time
to do and find out what really interest you and go for it.
There is a grieving process and you need to just move through
it instead of stuffing your feeling deep inside. Live life
to its fullest and take one day at a time.
Separated Singles
If you’re separated and are working
on trying to make the relationship work, weigh your options
carefully. You may feel pressure by your partner to give it
a second chance but look within and listen to your heart.
Sometimes one of you just walks away without trying to resolve
the relationship and this can be tough. Again, take your time
and really listen to each other to see if your goals are the
same for your relationship.
Live in Partner
Have you ever thought "what the heck
did I get myself into?" Well, I for one moved in with
my boyfriend at one point and knew while I was unpacking I
had made a huge mistake but I felt it was too late to do something
about it. On, the other hand this is a great way to see if
you’re meant to be together. You learn so much about
each other and see all the skeletons in each other's closet.
Even what a slob people can be. Trust me although you can
date someone for a year and spend time at each others place
it is not the same. The part that stinks is for one of you
to go through the pain of finding a new place to live. Someone
has to leave. As for me, no ring no shacking up. Sometimes
it’s the easy way out of marriage.
