12 Sassy Quotes For When You're Single AF — But Loving It

During family gatherings, one of the most dreaded questions to hear is, “Are you seeing anyone?” When you answer “no,” there is usually a look of disappointment from the relative who asks you about your dating life EVERY year.

When it comes to romance and dating, there can be so much anxiety and pressure to start settling down.

Everyone thinks there’s supposed to be a timeline for meeting the right person. And if you’re not currently dating, then people will seem so sorry for you, like you’re missing out on so much by being single.

Sure, dating has its perks. But what about the perks of being single?

You don’t have to share food with anyone, you don’t have to worry about someone else’s needs, and you don’t have to deal with stressful arguments and drama.

When you’re single, you can focus on yourself instead of on someone else. You’ll have so much time to do whatever YOU want, and you can learn to really feel comfortable on your own.

And no one needs to follow a certain timeline when it comes to romance.
