10 reasons being single rocks--really!

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
Stop getting green with envy around couples and start appreciating your independence! From girl time to grades and BGFs, there are tons of reasons why you should be loving the single life. 

 

Not having to listen to guys talk about guy things
Do you really care about how many slices of pizza he can eat, how green the grass is on that baseball field or how many letters he can belch in the alphabet? We didn’t think so.

 

No interruptions 
Being single means not feeling like you have to stop and answer his texts while you’re hanging with your BGF, having a dance sesh with your bestie or watching a movie with your fam. 

 

Never missing girls’ nights
Skip out on gossip and makeovers with your girls to watch your boyfriend and his buds play video games all night? Never!

 

Keeping it comfy
Just feel like lounging in sweats today? You’re not trying to impress anyone; go for comfort.

 

Better grades
No boy distraction means more time for school. So put that free time to good use and go for those straight A’s!

 

You can order onion rings
You’re not kissing anyone anyway, right? Munch away!

 

No BGF drama
You can hang out with your BGF without worrying about your BF getting weird or jealous.

 

Cute boys
Spot a cute guy in gym class? Eyeing that hottie in math? Being single means there’s no reason to hold back, so get flirting.

 

Not being ditched for sports
Single gals don’t get ditched for watching the game on TV after they already did their makeup.

 

More time for you!
Being single means less compromising and less sacrificing! Focus on your interests and goals and do whatever you want whenever you want. Ahh freedom.

MOD MOD MOD!!!
My bf dumped me about a month ago. I still like him and I am still into him, but recently I saw this guy at school who looks similar to him but he is so attractive! I think he is so cute (not as cute as my ex but he's cute). But from what I've heard is he runs through girls and isn't that nice to people. Sometimes he seems to be immature. I don't know if he likes me or not though. We have a lass together and sometimes it's like he looks at me and smiles but then I don't know. What should I do? and does he like me?

 

Hey! It sounds to me like you really like this guy Smile congrats, it can be fun to have a crush. The best way to deal with this is to be his friend and see if something more happens naturally. I have seen so many girls get hurt and ruin friendships because they "had to know" if someone liked them, and they asked the guy about it and made the whole situation awkward. I even did that myself when I was younger. It's better to have a secret crush on your friend than to have a public crush on your ex-friend. good luck!

I was wondering how you ask a guy for his phone number. I have a hard time with that. :p This boy I kind of like just became friends this school year and I wanted to talk to him out of school. Any help?




Hey girl, why not ask if he wants to hang out outside of school sometime (you could even just say to do HW together or study for a test together)? Then ask him how to reach him. Number gained! (;
