All you single ladies; we know that every time you see a cute couple grinning and holding hands you feel just a tiny tingling of jealousy. And well, it is normal to feel that way, after all, we all want someone to hold our hands, to be there for us when we need them and to be able to rely on someone. And while all of that is great, there are also plenty of perks of being single. So, instead of being sad about not having a boyfriend, maybe it's time you enjoy your singlehood as long as it lasts because it is going to be amazing. Don't believe us? Just scroll on below to see just how great being single can be!

When you're dating someone you're bound to be dragged to at least a few unwanted parties or get-togethers that you know you're going to despise. But when you're single, you get to hang out with whoever you want. You won't have to put up with someone you don't want to because your significant other expects you to.

Anyone who says that women make a big deal out of receiving presents has never actually seen a man get a gift he really wants. And as much as it may warm your heart to give someone something amazing, it is also quite a task to figure out what the right gift will be. When you're single, nobody expects anything from you, so even if you're having a fling you can just keep it super casual.

Aren't you just tired of those endless cycles of, 'What do you want to have for dinner babe?', 'Oh, I don't know, anything is fine'? Well, when you're single, you get to decide what you want to eat. So, if you want to gorge on some pizza 3 days in a row (don't do it, it's super unhealthy) or if you feel like ordering some Chinese, you get to eat whatever it is that you want without having to worry about someone else's opinions.

Right now, you might be taking this for granted but trust us when we say, people in relationships can't just do what they want. Don't you have a friend who keeps complaining about how her relationship takes up most of her time? Well, while that may depend from couple to couple, it also holds true to the fact that there are a lot of things that you need to keep your partner aware of when you're dating someone. But when you're single, there are no such limits holding you back. You don't need to sit and wonder what your partner will think about a certain thing. So, go be whoever you want to be as long as you're single.

Yes, this is yet another totally underrated thing that most people take for granted. Sure, it's great to have someone to snuggle with or cuddle with but it's also great to sleep by yourself in your room on your bed in whatever way that you want. No one will be snoring beside you, no one will hog your covers and no one will mess with the room's temperatures to suit their needs. So, don't take sleep for granted ladies. Catch up on as many zzz's as you can before you get into a relationship

Talking about relationships, we've all been through wanting to flirt with the hottest guy in the room but not being able to because you're already dating someone. And sure, some people do it any way but they feel guilty about it later. So, when you're single, you can flirt with as many people as you want and as much as you want. If that isn't great, we don't know what else is.

One of the best things about being single is that you learn to take care of your own responsibilities. When you have a partner, you tend to start depending on them for certain things and then before you know it, you expect them to do things for you. But when you're single, you don't have many people to depend on, so you learn to become self-reliant. And that will only make you a stronger and better version of yourself.
