Why Are So Many Decent People Single Nowadays?

1. Self Aware: They know their worth. Once you become self aware, the dating pool significantly decreases.
2. Choice: They’ve experienced abusive relationships in the past and choose solitude over more abuse.
3. Self Improvement: They are taking time to work on their self. Once you know your worth you will attract a better quality partner.
4. Games: They’re tired of all the games. I’ve never really dated, and have yet to take the plunge. To be honest, not appealing to me. From what I read and hear from others, crazy is the game.
5. Patience: Many others will settle. They aren’t willing to settle. They will wait and take the time to develop a friendship first, then go from there. So many are quick to start sleeping together, living together, etc before you truly know the person or yourself.
6. Freedom: I’m kinda digging the single life. I can come and go when I want. Take any trip I want to. Eat where I want. See a movie I want. Visit and meet up with who I want to. While taking the time to learn about myself.
