1

Social Media

Some people see social media as a negative force in life, but if you are single and looking for ways to interact with others, then being active on things like Twitter and Facebook is a great way to make online acquaintances whilst you aren’t experiencing many real-life ones. Search through hashtags and join groups that are related to interests that you have to talk with like-minded people.

2

Treat Yourself

You should never see treating yourself or pampering yourself as something that you don’t deserve because you ‘aren’t doing it for anybody’. The person that you are doing it for is yourself, when you learn to love your own company, you will be much more open to trying different things solo.

3

Travel

Take your single time as an opportunity to travel on a budget. When there is only one person to think about, you can make all the decisions about where you go and not have to compromise about what you want your priorities to be. The world is literally your oyster!

4

Open up

Something that will make you feel better about your situation is if you open up about it to someone who is willing to listen. Don’t keep all your feelings inside because they will nearly always bubble up into a destructive force. Don’t feel bad about sharing your feelings of singledom.

5

Walk/Music

Don’t underestimate the transformative mood powers that a good walk and good playlist can have. Getting out of the house and being active will provide you with those much-needed endorphins, and it’s no secret that music you love can make you feel better and changed in an instant.

Famous Quotes

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

Niccolò Machiavelli

Classes

Make the most of your ‘me time’ by joining up to a class the is dedicated to one of your hobbies. It could be painting, pottery, a book club or even a movie appreciation club, anything that you find most interesting! IT will make you feel better and also give you the opportunity to meet people who share your interests.

7

New Perspective

What you also need to remember is that people in relationships can sometimes feel as lonely as you do right now being single. The feeling of loneliness and unhappiness doesn’t always have to correlate to your romantic status. Do you think your feelings might be related to a wider problem in your life? If so, it might help to seek some professional help to unwind your issues.
