That is my choice. I would like to encourage you to stay strong, but most of all be happy and stay positive. My story is so similar. Toxic relationship-breakup-rebound- toxic relnshp. The vicious cycle continued for the past 12 years my life.
Despite being an educated and intelligent person, I always needed a man to complete me to do the things i dreamt of and cudnt do on my own until recently when i decided to pursue my dreams on my own life seems a long constant struggle and sometimes i feel like just quitting and reverting to my old life. But.i realise after reading your blog there are lot of ppl around me. Im finally living my life truly on my terms and everyday i know im becoming a stronger person. I’m so glad you found this article and commented. For most of my life I lived in that vicious cycle. Deep down I was so unhappy.
But on the surface I seemed happy. I masked that pain with drinking and trying to fool myself that all was well. But the truth is, I was in a deep hole. It was hard making the break from my husband at the time as my daughter was a baby. But I had to do something or I would have gone mad. Keep being strong.
Appreciate those around you. Believe in yourself and love yourself. You are special and you must believe that. It will get better. Nothing stays the same forever. Please pop over to my other blog and read the article ‘Are you ready for a relationship?’ It might help you. The blog address is God bless.
I could not agree MORE! I was married for 10 years (all of my 20s) and then in another relationship for all of my 30s. Even though I didn’t want to be alone, I never was fully ‘in’ the relationship either – I was afraid to do it all myself! I have been on my own for 6 months, approaching 40, and have honestly never EVER been happier. I recently joined Match.com to see what was out there, and after only 2 weeks and 3 dates, I shut it down, realizing there is nothing missing from my life and (gasp!) I don’t even WANT to date! Talk about liberating.
I love my life!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for this post – not all (nor most, in my opinion) single women are unhappy being so! Hi Deanna, welcome to my blog. Isn’t it funny how loneliness and not wanting to cope by ourselves can push us into unwanted relationships? Or make us stay in relationships that are so wrong for us.
Well done for sticking it out on your own. I’ve been happily single for 8 wonderful years. I can honestly say, I’ve never been more at peace within myself. I’ve had invitations to join Match.com but I’m not interested. I know people who’ve tried those sites and the men they’ve met have not been what they seemed. I haven’t got time for that!
I’m too busy enjoying my single life. 🙂 NO STRESS!!!
It’s great when you get to the place where you love being single. And you’re right! It is so liberating. I’m glad that you’re happily single as well. And thank you for stopping by and commenting. You’ve made my night. Hey June I’m a 21 year old student and I’ve never dated, been on a date, never asked out by a guy even!
I’m single NOT by choice, while reading your post I could identify with many things. All my friends are in serious relationships and even engaged! Its really heart breaking and I wish I had the confidence and strength to continue. I’ve accepted this, in my young years I should be dating but maybe I’m undesirable. Thank you for your post- I’m still trying to continue my quest to become a happy single many thanks Ella.
Hi Ella, Thanks for stopping. It’s good to hear from you. First of all please don’t condemn yourself. I’m sure you’re not undesirable so don’t ever think that of yourself.
Just because you haven’t been on a date doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It doesn’t take a man to make you feel good about yourself.
You are beautiful, just as you are. I had a ‘didn’t love myself’ issue for many years. And I thought that having relationships would make my life complete and make me happy. I was so wrong. All that did was cause heartaches and pain.
If I could live my life again, I wouldn’t rush into any relationships. I’ve got a story to tell and I need to share it with other women. So, I’m writing a book about one of my failed marriages. That period of my life was like a living nightmare. Please enjoy your single life. One day when you’ll meet the right man for you, someone who will love and value you. You’ll look back on this experience and laugh.
I said experience because I think being single is a wonderful experience. Enjoy it Ella.
🙂 It’s better than being in a relationship with the wrong man. I should know.
I’ve done it. Have a fantastic weekend Ella. I broke up with my bf a month ago. Since then I was asked by 7 different man to go out with them whether its just getting to know each other or a real date. Dating right now doesn’t interest me. I am determined to be happy and single.I do miss a company and gets lonely sometimes having nobody to go out for dinner or a movie.
With my past relationship we did a lot of things but during that moment I got disconnected from my friends, now I starts hanging around with them again. I have no problem meeting a man and it takes a lot of strength for me not to say no to somebody when I feel alone. I’m excited with being single and I have a lot of things in mind that I will do being free and not committed to anybody. I know I can be happy being single for a long time because I have a lot of interest and hobbies that I would like to continue on doing like travel, play golf, marathon, going out dancing with friend, spending time with my 2 teenagers working out etc. Who needs a man when I really have no time for him. Thank you for your blog, June. I have been married three times and with a man almost continuously since I was 15.
Somehow I thought I had to be with a man in order to be a whole person. Going through my second divorce (my second husband died) I initially feel I must couple-up, but I realize this is not true.
Being single leaves me with a sense of fear and dread right now, but I am working on my new mindset. Yesterday, I planned out my next year — goals I would like to achieve each month from now until next October. I filled areas of health, career, friends, fun, kids, house projects, etc. And found that I am now actually looking forward to the next year.
I think people feel empty when their future looks so open and empty. Well, I just filled mine with activity and healthy goals. The comfort of being coupled is that we can rely on our partner to fill our lives, set our goals, and weekend activities.
I was always willing to give up what I wanted just so I could be with a man. Of course, this always turned to resentment. I won’t do that again. I am going to give myself at least a year to get serious about anyone.
I have been coupled way too long, 3/4 of my life, and I am ready to be productively selfish with my time, energy and emotions. We’ll see how it goes. I suggest the yearly plan for anyone who is feeling alone an empty. It helps the time not seem so vast. Also, check out the book “A selfish guide to romance”.
It is about being in a couple, but it also discusses work you can do on yourself so that you are ready when you do meet someone. I also bought about 6 books from Amazon on the love of being single.
Most of them cost about 10 cents, so it is worth the cost! Thanks, Junie.

Hi Jen, Thanks for reading my article and leaving a comment. I love what you had to say. It’s really inspiring and so true. I was similar to you.
It seems we have a lot in common. And my second husband died as well. For most of my life I was in relationships, even when they were wrong for me. I couldn’t stand to be on my own.
I realise now that I was insecure and didn’t love myself. I was looking for love when all I had to do was look at myself instead of men.
I enjoyed your comment so much that I’m going to write an article with the tips you gave for other single ladies. It’s a wonderful idea to plan your year ahead. It gives you something to work towards. And achieving goals is a wonderful feeling.
I’m going to check out the book ‘A Selfish Guide to Romance’ and do you have the names of the other books? I would like to read them and share tips with my readers. I love inspiring other single ladies. Thanks for subscribing to this blog. I hope you will enjoy what I have to share.
Always feel free to give me any ideas you would like me to write about. Have a great evening. Hi Junie – thank you for your note and support. I am glad it was helpful. I can’t tell you how much better I felt after I did my year plan.
We all know how fast time goes, and a year can really fly when you look back on it, especially if you fill it with great personal and professional goals! Other books are easy to findjust google “being single and loving it” or “single women’s guide”. And tons of books pop up through Amazon.
I just ordered them yesterday and will let you know which ones I find the most helpful. Do you have a group of single ladies that meets up periodically? I am thinking one thing I need is a way to find friends to hang out with; I don’t know if my town has this, but I suppose I could create one if they don’t! Another goal, I guess!
Hi Jennifer, You’re right, the years are flying by quickly. And having a plan will make it more enjoyable and rewarding, because first there’s something to look forward to, and second achieving goals is a wonderful feeling. I’ll check out Amazon for some of those single books. No, I don’t have a group for single women to meet up. But it’s a great idea. What town do you live in?
I think I will put one together, because like you said, it’s a fantastic way to meet up and socialise. And yes, it’s another good goal. Thanks for stopping by again and for the ideas.
Have a good evening. Hi June 😀 I’m just 17 and I’ve never dated anyone its because i’m scared about having to face problems in my life 😀 but all your comments here was so inspiring and because all of you are very brave women i have visited sites like these because i believe that it doesn’t take a man for you to be happy i love this blog it just make me realize that every girl doesn’t take a man to be complete furthermore I realized that every girl is special and can achieve more without having a man in their life. Thankss for the blog really appreciated it 😀 all of you are very inspiring!! Hi Monica, Thank you for reading my blog and for sharing your thoughts.
I really appreciate it. 🙂 You are still so young and there’s no need to rush into a relationship. But don’t be scared about facing problems in life. Unfortunately life comes with problems. But if you learn how to deal with problems and learn from them, it will make you stronger. And you are right, it doesn’t take a man to make you happy.
Happiness comes from within. I used to look for happiness from men but it didn’t work. It made me sad instead and caused lots of heartaches.
So, to be happy you need to love yourself and do things that will give you fulfillment and joy. You can achieve whatever you want if you focus, set goals and work towards achieving them. You don’t need a man to achieve your goals. I personally achieved more when I was single because I didn’t have any distractions. But if you’ve got a supportive man, you can still achieve your goals. Thanks for your kind words. You’re inspiring too, because I started this blog for women like you.
It makes to happy to know that you’re finding it useful. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Elvine.
If you can be happy as a single woman/mother, you’ll be content with your life. Happiness comes from inside of you. No man can make you happy. You can live a good life together by sharing genuine love, respect, understanding and all the other things that contribute to a healthy relationship.

However, finding out who you are as a single woman and accepting where you’re at is really rewarding. Use this time to be the person you were created to be. Thanks for stopping. This was a interesting read. Thank you for sharing. I was googling why its good being single and your blog came up. I use to always do things to impress men so that I can be in a relationship.
Being single as given me time to really do the things I love with my child and do things that truly make me happy. When I was in a relationship with guys, I felt that I always had to look picture perfect and was always comparing myself to other women.
And theb I had to deal with making time for them. It would nice to meet a guy that would like to cater to me versus the other way around. I find that Im always the one paying for dates and giving a money that I dont really have to give. Im done with that. I can really relate to what you’ve said. When you impress men you’re not being yourself.
Over the years I discovered it’s best to be you, no matter what. If a man genuinely likes you, he will appreciate you for who you are and not what you’ve got. This will separate the genuine ones from the fake ones. Like you, I used to give them money as well because I believed it was my duty to do so. Also, in terms of looks, the right man will love you regardless of how you look – with or without makeup. I used to be like that.
But when I meet the next man to start a relationship with, he will have to take me for who I am. I’m not going to pretend to be somebody I’m not. Those days are gone.
Keep doing what you’re doing. The right man will come and he will love you for you, not for who he wants you to be. There are good guys out there so don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
I hope to hear from you again. Enjoy the week. I am a 38 year old single mother of a preschooler. I am in the process of learning to be content in this space.
I have had many, many failed attempts at love and I feel that there needs to be a recognition within myself that life as a single woman can be okay too. And when I say that there is a release and peace, so I feel that is the journey it is time to take. I think I will still have male attention but the ideal of marriage just seems like something that isn’t for me. I wish there were more people discussing being single from that perspective. Not in waiting, but as a perfectly suitable lifestyle in and of itself. This article was a great starting place and reminded me of the mindset I need to get back to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Hi Angel, I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been single for 11 years. I feel happy, free and in a good place. Being single has been good for me. It gave me the ability to get to know the real me and to enjoy being in my own company.
I used to be dependent on men and it wasn’t good for me. Because of that dependency, I ended up jumping from one dysfunctional relationship to another looking for love. But I was looking in the wrong place. I won’t say any more about this as I’m going to be writing an article about it.
You inspired me to write it because lots of single women out there need to hear it. They think being single is something terrible. But it’s a time to embrace their singleness. Thanks for leaving a comment. It was good to hear from you and I hope you come back often. Enjoy the week. Trackbacks/Pingbacks.

Author, comedian and talk show personality Steve Harvey wants to empower you, and he’s using his credentials as a popular radio call-in talk show host on dating to do that. His advice boils down to stating the need for women to understand the games that men playand they do play games, according to Mr. It’s all a game for him, which is demonstrated by his frequent use of the word “playbook” to describe this book. Harvey uses lots of personal examples to illustrate how men think. This, combined with his insights on what women want garnered from his talk show years, actually wind up sounding sort of wise. It must be true what they say: comedians are funny because deep down they really understand human nature.
Books On Being Single
Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl – A Woman’s Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship Seems that being a comedian and hosting a radio show provide good material for writing a dating book- this too is written by a comedian who hosted a radio show. This time it’s a woman, and her name is Sherry Argov.Her main point is that women are too nice. Her words are written with a certain kind of authority that make it seem she really might be onto something. What woman couldn’t use a dose of self-empowerment when it comes to dating? Her view is controversial, perhaps in some ways falling in direct opposition to fellow comedian-talk show-host Steve Harvey. Naturally, her approach is self-directed, while his is more about understanding the opposite sex. Read this one just for the stand-out strength of the message and the controversial view that in a relationship, YOU come first.
Men hate this book! The Power of the Pussy: Get What You Want From Men: Love, Respect, Commitment and More! Kara King has clearly gone yet a third route on her journey to dating success: highlighting the “magical” powers of being a woman, you can apparently transform yourself into a “man-magnet”.Like Steve Harvey, she sees dating as a “game” and her book is “playbook” for winning that game.

She tells women they can manipulate men into becoming the man they want to dateinspiring him to be good by working their womanly magic on them. The writing is written to keep you turning the pages, in a “wait ’til you see what’s next!” kind of style. Wouldn’t be our first choice for book of the year, but it does make for an interesting read.
The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible Author and doctor Ali Binazir MD hit the nail on the head for many women. His book emphasizes bringing out the feminine side of ourselves, which society apparently keeps muffled.His credentials are impressive, and he takes a personal development/self-empowering approach to dating in a clinical sense. This boils down to “fix yourself and you’ll date better men”. You’ll love this one if you believe in being authentic in a relationship. All the Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr.
Right The classic dating guide, this is both “Rules” books rolled into one. Essentially a guide to successfully playing hard to get, these Rules serve as the benchmark of womanly advice for the modern dating scene.Other dating books bounce their theories off these two classic books, so reading this all-in-one volume will serve you in more ways than one. It’s well written, although perhaps a bit tailored to 90’s women who grew up under the heavy wing of hard-core feminismin other words, they needed this sort of advice. As a classic, this is worth checking out. Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find, Keep, and Understand a Man Steve Harvey is at it again, this time with more detailed tips and specific advice that’s actionable and practical.
Aimed at women who make bad choices in men, this is a no-nonsense, practical guide to what’s wrong with some men, and why. Written in Mr. Harvey’s direct, sightly ego-centric style, many find this book refreshing and informative.
Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who’s Right and Avoiding Who’s Wrong Author Barbara De Angelis PhD approaches dating as a self-exploratory exercise, where past relationship mistakes are analyzed in order to prevent future mistakes. The book is written in an easy, flowing style. Lots of easily-actionable advice is given, with much introspection which comes in handy no matter where you are in life. The only caveat is, the book pushes you into making list of non-negotiables, which is currently falling out of favor in the dating world. Worth the read anyway! Mars and Venus on a Date: A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting Relationship If the “Mars & Venus” analogy sounds familiar, it’s because John Gray, author of this book, wrote the original Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus. Based on the same principle, that men and women are wired differently, this book focuses on the dating stage of a relationshipsimilar to The Rules, mentioned above.
Written with a helpful dose of psychology to explain the rules of dating, this book offers plenty of insight on the different motivations of men and women when it comes to dating and what they mean for you. Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough Definitely a standout among dating books, this one, written by Lori Gottlieb, focuses on the supposedly unrealistic expectations young women have for men.
The title, therefore, is misleadingit’s not that men are sub-standard, it’s that women’s expectations are too high. The premise is original and controversial enough and the writing style is clever enough that this book makes our list of must-reads if simply for a different perspective. How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved Finally, some very targeted advice for women who can’t stop falling for men who are all wrong for them. If you have a history of this, then Sandra L. Brown’s book can help open your eyes to what keeps happening with your poor choices.
Written from the perspective of a domestic violence counselor, the book is advised by years’ worth of conversations with women who made terrible choices in their relationships. It’s easy to understand, full of good advice, and extremely helpful for all women, not just the ones who’ve had nothing but poor relationships.
