Singled Out?
Written By: Amanda Farah
All of your friends are coupled up, but being the last single standing doesn’t mean it’s the end of your social life (or your friendships!). Here are some tips on how to enjoy the single life:
Pamper yourself:
Treat yourself to a mani-pedi, or go all out and get massage or facial.
Take yourself out:
Nothing says you have to stay home on the weekend with takeout. Grab a book or a magazine and head to your fave restaurant. Dining alone will make you look confidant, which is always sexy.
Take a class:
Now’s the time to expand your horizons! Check your local colleges and community centers for classes. BONUS- it’s a great way to meet new people!
Buddy up with their beaus:
It’s okay to be friends with whoever your friends are dating. Have all of the couples in your life over for dinner and get to know your pals’ special someone. Tell them to bring their single friends!
Feeling singled out? What do you do when you find yourself the only single gal left? Share your experiece with us!

Sometimes you just have to b content on where ur at now in life. I am also single but I have learned how to appreciate the free time I do have now before Im bound to a husband and kids bc then ur freedom is limited. So advice i would give to other singles, enjoy the free single time you have now so once u do get married theres no bitterness of things you didnt do because u had a boyfriend all the time.

I'll organise for people to come over, couples and single people. Me and my friend who recently got a boyfriend always try and make sure we make it a priority to see each other and I'll spend time with her and her boyfriend. The worst thing you can do is sit at home and think about how lonely you are when you don't have to be! Just make the effort and arrange to see people - there's always some who wants to hang out :)

Some ofv my friends say: Give things time.. And in my head im like "Yeeah right" ...

I love my friends and there spouses., but i get jealous and sad that they look happy with someone they can call theirs. all i want is a boy that is strong enough to handle me. i tried to stay happy being single.. it just isnt working. Ide love to pamper my self, take myself out... but how can i do that with lack of money and bills to pay. im only 20 years old, and i want to have fun! This is hard.
