20 Things Single People Are Tried Of Hearing

Being single.

For some, this is the best time of their lives.

For others though, this means being constantly asked, "Have you met someone yet?" or "Why are you still single?"


And for those people, they get the dreaded cliché lines meant to give hope.

Please for the love of all things holy, like pizza, stop these words from coming out of your mouth.

"It will happen when you least expect it."


"The right one will come along. Just you wait."


"Have you tried online dating? I heard good things about it."


"Are you seeing someone currently?"


"How you are still single? You're the sweetest person."


"Any guy/girl would be lucky to be with you."

"I wouldn't worry about it; you got plenty of time."


"There's more fish in the sea."


"There's someone for everyone."


"How's your best friend and her/his significant other?"


"When are you going to bring someone home for the holidays?"


"At least you have freedom to flirt with anyone you want."


"When are you going to settle down and have kids?"


"You should let me set you up."


"OMG. I have the perfect person for you!"

"You are figuring out how to love yourself before you can love someone else."


"You need to lower your expectations; you're too picky."


"I couldn't imagine being single again; that would suck."

"Have you tried that dating app... Tinder?"


"Don't you get lonely?"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
