All those coupled friends of yours, you’re genuinely happy that they’ve found someone whose morning breath makes them giddy. You’re thrilled that you’ll never have to field another late night phone call from them about how they are scared to choke on a ham sandwich and die alone like Mama Cass. Really, you’re glad they […]
In honor of Independence Day, we asked around for the best things about being single and independent. Here’s the top ten! 10.

I’m not big on the whole New Year’s resolution thing, but I do make a point to clean house every January. This year, my house is single. So, while I’m hiatusing, I am giving my outlook on singledom a scrub down. That means I am getting into every nook and cranny of negativity and trying […]

Just kidding, it’s totally cute. I’ve been there and I’ve had a great time […]
Thanksgiving can really suck when you’re single. I should know, I’ve flown solo to six consecutive turkey dinners. A few years ago, when I thought I was going to have my first coupled-up T-day in ages, I got dumped out-of-the-blue two days before. To add insult to injury, my parents, who had planned to spend […]

Worse still, after the gift-giving holidays are over, there’s no one to kiss on New Year’s Eve. Well, now that we’ve thoroughly […]
You probably want to sit down for what I’m about to tell you because it’s going to blow the lid off everything you thought you knew about relationships.
