independence
free time
not having to spend time with friends/relatives of the other half that you aren't so keen on
not feeling guilty about spending money
holidays with friends
spontaneity
getting a proper uninterrupted night's sleep
being able to flirt with lots of different people

ok some of them might sound a bit selfish but that's the fun of being single, it's lots of time to enjoy yourself!

You're right in some respects.
But I'm not getting any younger. And I'm no oil painting.

I'm skint and most of my mated are webbed up with significant others (or starting families).

My 'plan' at the moment, is to try and relocate. I think that'll kick-start me as I'm bored with things at the moment, and have been for some time. A new challenge is in order, especially one that'll make me go out and meet new people and have some new adventures.

the more you worry about being single
the more it will come across. massive cliche but totally true.

Quite agree.
Career has stalled over the last couple of years, which I blame (in part) on the other shit I've had going on, and relocating will give me the chance to dedicate sufficient time to get back to trying to get where I want to be.
