Oh god the panic… everyone around you is starting to get their shit together, getting engaged, having children, buying houses. Like sorry what, I think I was downing a bottle of wine out of a straw crying at rom-coms when that announcement was made…

The pressure to find someone is mad, everyone starts asking ahhh so when are you going to settle down and find a nice man. Like excuse me my life is very interesting can you not choose to ask me about the most un-interesting part of it please.

Now, don’t get me wrong I do enjoy being single… luckily (been single 3 years now). But the hardest part of being single is when you decide ‘right yes time to find someone now’. That is where things go downhill, jesus how do people meet people in a romantic way. I am still waiting for my rom com style meeting with my soul mate but he still keeps standing me up ffs. So alas here I am swiping through tinder talking to men who insist on having the weirdest chat that often makes me throw my phone in disbelief.

I have very terrible luck with men, I attract wrong uns to be quite honest.
Here is a list of the kind of wrong uns I have experienced:
The cute, quiet one that turns out to be a nutter
The absolute head fuck
The one that ignores you for weeks but continues to like all your pictures and send flame emojis to EVERY selfie
The one who is not your type but is so nice you give a chance to and they turn out to be as awful as the rest
Then just your standard fuck boy.

I am sure many of you have experienced those kind of boys or girls before. Absolute nightmares tbh. It is a wander I have yet to lose faith in men but my rom-coms tell me there is hope, just need to find someone who is willing to stick to my script tbh.

Sadly, my script seems to be similar to Bridget Jones atm but hey if that means I get a Mark Darcy in the end then okkk I will roll with the punches.

But the moral of the story being single in your twenties is stressful. I have not even touched on dating in your twenties yet, we will save that for another post.

However, this is also the most amazing time to be single, no commitments, time for your own well being, memories made with your closest pals. Although stressful, single life is very nice especially in the hot weather when you have no sweaty person trying to cuddle you in the night.

If you read all that you are my new fave person, cheers hope you enjoyed.
