I had always thought that before I turn 23, I was gonna be in a relationship and yeah, get my happily ever after and I kid you not, I was this close to having it until …… you know what they say about the rest being history …

Back to my question, why am I still single?

For starters, I don’t get out of bed till 10 in the morning, and this, only happens on a good day. On a not-so-good day, I sleep in because I tend to believe that I’m more active during the night than at day time. Okay, fine…you’d be thinking, what’s better than having midnight calls with that special someone and you’ve got to believe me, I’m really good at holding conversations but that’s just when the sleep hits. What is this life???

When I’m finally out of bed, I struggle to get breakfast, which is definitely no longer breakfast, because by the time I’m up from bed, and being all indecisive about what to eat, I check for the time, and it’s already quarter to 1, in the afternoon.

Also, for someone who believes so much in her comfort zone, I don’t see how Prince Charming is gonna get the chance to pick up my glass slipper from the night at the ball, while I’m running away before the clock strikes 12, in order to look for me the next day…. and there goes my Cinderella story.

Let’s just say that I’ve been managed to get dragged out of my comfort zone, and you’d expect me to be out there, socializing with people, with a good majority of the “people”, being men since that’s my love interest but No. No, I’ve just got to still be mingling with my friends (the same ones that dragged me outside) or definitely burying my head in my phone. Now tell me, how exactly do I intend to increase my chances at getting out of this single life if I can’t get myself to talk to men??

But then, I begin to console myself with other people’s messy breakup stories.

It is indeed, a problem.

Now, ask me again, why am I still single? Well, I’m single because I do things like this.

Like what? Like writing a post such as this one, titled, “why am I still single?”

Certainly, no one in a relationship is gonna write a post such as this one, so you’ve got your answer.

Jokes on me though. Lol.

PS- Now while all of these was purely for comedy, and was in no way intended to make anyone feel bad about their life decisions especially their relationship life.

I believe that if a relationship is something that you truly want, go for it. It’s probably gonna be a bed of roses like they make us believe on social media or not, but either ways, I employ you to live a happy love life with no regret.

And if you decide to stay away from a relationship, by all means, let’s stop singing the chorus of “God when?” or “God, do me next”, when other people’s relationship story pops up on our timeline.
