Instagram and twitter are of full of relationship goals, and cute couples doing cute things. Being a single girl and being bombarded with a new engagement every time you get on Facebook gets old, fast. It is so easy to get discouraged in your seemingly never ending time as the single girl. Here are five things that you might need to be reminded of if you ever find yourself that place.

1. NEVER SETTLE! – You are still single because you have not found a guy worth your time and energy yet. Even when you get lonely and are tired of seeing all of those freaking happy couples on Instagram, DO NOT just settle for the first guy to give you attention. You deserve more than just some jerk to text you all the time to fill his time. You are better than that.
2. Trust your gut – You are a smart girl! If you think that the guy that is trying to talk to you is not the type of guy you want to be with, trust that feeling. Even if he tries to guilt you into giving him a chance to prove that he is different than you think he is, trust your instinct. If you think he is a player, he probably is. Just go with your gut and move on; you don’t owe him anything.
3. There is NOTHING wrong with you – I know that after you have been single for a while it is so easy to start to think that maybe there is something wrong with you and that is why you haven’t found a boo yet. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. You are amazing, smart and beautiful. The problem is that the guys around you are looking for a girl to mess around with and not a woman to cherish. That is not your problem, it is theirs. And in the end it will be their loss that they let you pass by them.
4. You do not always have to be happy with being single- Nobody likes that girl that cries all the time because she is #foreveralone, but that does not mean that you ALWAYS have to be happy being single. Sometimes you will wish that you were in a relationship, that you had someone to cuddle with, or go on cute dates with. That’s okay! You have to feel what you feel. So if there is a season where you are so discontent being single, that’s fine! Just try to make sure that you don’t stay in that place so that you can get back to enjoying your amazing life.
5. Your worth is not determined by someone else’s ability to see it- Being wanted by a guy does not make you worthy. You have worth and value all on your own, apart from anyone else. God put you on this earth to fulfill a purpose that only you can. Your friends love you for the amazing person you are. Just because the guys around you are not falling all over you does not mean that you are unworthy.
