People often jump into relationships for all the wrong reasons. They are so worried that they are going to end up alone that they just settle for whatever. It is so easy to miss the good points in being single when we don't realize just how good we have it. Think before you jump into a relationship. The change can be a big one. Savor being single before those days are merely the past!

1. Right now you have no one to answer to. You can do what you want when you want. That is all about to change. (when you get in a relationship.)

2. Remember that marriage is forever. You and the same person every day for the rest of your (or their) life.

3. The money you have right now is yours. The bills you have are yours. Relationships, especially, if you move in together, mean sharing finances.

4. You don't have to share your stuff. The hairbrush, the soap, and even your bed. They are all yours. Having a significant other means learning to share.

5. You only have to clean up after you right now. Do you want someone else to have to pick up after?

6. Right now, it is all about you. When you are a part of a couple. It's not "me", it's "us."

7. If you are a female, you will understand how great it is to not fall in a toilet seat at 3 a.m. This is a luxury single women have.

8. When you are single, your biggest commitment is your telephone contract. When you are in a relationship, life seems like a contract.

9. Being single means going out with different people and still not having to settle. (You don't have to sleep with them to have a good time.) If you get in a relationship, you do that, and you are a cheater among other things.

10. I have always heard that divorce is so expensive because it is worth it. It' s so much simpler when you are on the other side of the fence looking in. If you are not ready, don't get into the relationship don't be forced into things it only damages you in the long run.
