While all of my coupled friends are amazingly sweet and don’t seem to mind if I “tag along” with them, I think it is important for single people to also have some single friends.
Single friends
- can go back and forth with me on the woes of today’s dating world
- don’t have to check with their significant other’s schedule before saying “yes” to my invitations
- make great dates to weddings and other social events that I don’t want to go to alone
- are often looking for a travel buddy and so am I
- can empathise with me when my mom makes all those anxious “i want a grand-baby” hints
- are more likely to set me up on an “acceptable” blind date than my coupled friends
I am so thankful for all the similarly single people in my life. They are an invaluable support system and a fabulous source of fun!
