Being single can be great, but after a while, it gets old. Seeing all of these happy couples around me wherever I go can really put a damper on my mood when I don't even have someone to text. I've only ever really had one real relationship, and that only lasted 2.5 months. So, I know good and well what it's like to be single and alone. Here's a list of things I do without realizing it just because I'm single.

1. I'm constantly on the lookout for someone to date.

Isn't that so embarrassing? Whether I'm on my way to the grocery store, walking on campus, pumping gas, out to dinner, at the club, or anywhere else, I'm constantly checking the people out around me to see if I spot any potential lovers. It's not that I'm completely desperate, but more of the fact that I'm just eager to find that one person.

2. I give everyone a chance with me that wants it.

I really don't hold back, unless I'm just utterly repulsed by said person. If someone takes any interest in me, I give it a chance. (Obviously, this doesn't actually work out for me).

3. I get really down when something doesn't work out.

Putting my cards all out on the table and being so vulnerable to someone really bites me in the a** whenever it doesn't work out. Because I've had many "flings" where I would meet someone and really like them, get the vibe that they like me too, and then all of a sudden they just stop talking to me and unfollow my Instagram. There is no explanation for this, so it's really unsettling and hard to just up and move on from.

4. When I'm at the club, I'm literally just waiting there for someone to approach me.

And I know that admitting that is basically the same as spelling out "desperate." But hey, what can I say? I'm just lonely and eager.

5. I swipe on Bumble like there's no tomorrow.

One match, two match, any match - I'll take it.

6. I'm guilty of Snapchatting all of the cute guys on my friends list... at once.

Yeah, those mass texts that people send to everyone? I'm guilty as charged.
