For People Who Struggle With Being Single, What Advice Do You Have?
Life is a learning process, and the things we learn when we’re on our own are the same things we take with us into a relationship. Likewise, the things we come to know about ourselves after we’ve been with someone could have been extremely useful to know back when we were single. You can’t go backward, but wouldn’t it at least be great to share with your past self some of the things you’ve learned in the dating game?
Dear Poll: Do You and Your Friends Have the Same Taste?
Going out with friends and meeting new people is one of the best parts of being single. But when your wing woman has the same taste as you, complications are bound to arise.

Do Tell: What Do You Dislike About Being Single?
It seems like most of you like the freedom aspect of being single most, but that autonomy is often a double-edged sword.

The grass is always greener, right?

The How-To Lounge: Recouping From a Bad Date
Though I do know people who love to date, many people dread the dating game. It's like playing the love lottery, except if you lose, you've just sacrificed hours of your life for a bad meal and worse company. And while a great date can lead to a wonderful romance, a terrible date can end with a lot of self-pity and general disappointment.
Do Tell: What Do You Like About Being Single?
Even if being single isn't your preference, there have got to be some things you enjoy about not being tied down — like having the freedom to do as you please without checking in with someone and being able to flirt freely, which is a very underrated perk of being single if you ask me. So to you 16 percent that actually enjoy your single life, do tell, what is it that makes it so fun?

Dear Poll: Do You Like Being Single?

A woman who can take on the world, man or not. While it's promising to see that being single is finally being acknowledged as a choice, it's true that we still live in a society that values partnership.
