Single- (n.) is an individual person or thing rather than part of a pair or a group.

 

1. Singles with responsibilities– these are people who aren’t lucky enough to find someone while growing up. They usually mingle with their school friends but don’t share stories about their crushes because they don’t have one. Sometimes, these people choose to be single just as not to jeopardize their studies and make their parents proud of them until college—or maybe until they probably grow up and move out of their parents’ house—they usually say, “I’ve got to finish my major first”, “My dad won’t allow me…”, “Relationships are for people who have time to enjoy, I’m taking up my second degree now, I can’t just fall in love and forget about my career.”

2. Broken-hearted Singles– these are the people who fell in love once and ended up falling apart. Well, I mean, they’re the ones who had this super sweet relay with their childhood sweethearts or high school crushes but ended up being betrayed and never wanted to love again. (That one perfect love that they will never ever bring back to life but they always tell their friends about.) These are the unlucky ones who are so madly in love before that they can’t even imagine themselves loving another person again. They’re like Romeo & Juliet kind of people, who would rather be as dark as death and be single forever while they watch their EXs marry someone else, thinking and imagining that it would have been them but the world was just too bitter to spare them such happiness.

3. The Vamps-mostly, these are females who are only sexually attracted to someone but they’re not into deeper relationships at all (same to those usual single men who love hooks up). These are the ones who are wild enough to kiss a guy in a bar and whisper them something naughty—like you know what I mean—they are also open to ‘No Strings Attached’ kind of relay and will never ever be in love with you in any other way. They’re the ones who are searching for casual hookups or one-night-stand, waking up every morning in a different bed with a different man. Sometimes, these are also the ones who are not in favor of building a family and tying the knot just as to protect some relationship and yes, they just stay single with many friends around them.

4. The Believers– these are the ones who believe that true love waits. They’re the ones who always tell their friends that they’ll be waiting for the right man to come—even though they’re actually waiting in vain—the agony for being a believer is that 90% of everything is impossible. But if you’re lucky enough to find someone while you wait in a café and you both ended up marrying each other someday, then go! 🙂
5. The Realistic– these people are the ones who doesn’t believe in sparks and some kind of fairytales because for them, if someone is really out there for you, then why should you dream about them or imagine them giving you fairytale kind of proposals or anything. They’re actually people who were bitter enough to enjoy their childhood and just look at the world as some kind of cruel one for people like them. They don’t hear bells and don’t actually see sparkles in the eyes. “In the end, you’ll just fight about something and boom, you just broke your heart again.”
6. The Idealistic– oh, these are the people who compare every man they meet with their fave fiction-characters or even celebrities. They’ve always dreamed of something sweeter like the ones written in books, like Mr. Darcy or Prince Charming and somehow they want something perfectly chiseled just like the books they usually read. Well, who doesn’t want to have their own Christian Grey, Augustus Waters, Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer or Zac Efron, right? Sometimes, these people stay singles because they haven’t found the PERFECT one for them yet. Well, let’s see if they’ll find someone who can make the cut.

7. The Heroics– these are the ones who don’t want their friends to get jealous of them for having someone to date. They care for everyone especially their friends. Like all of your girlfriends are single so you should be too or just like you have a male best friend who is very much single and both of you think that you’ll just date someone if the other one dates someone else. Oh, sorry, you both like each other but when the time comes one of you gets in a relationship, the other one will hop into the nearest bar and shag their stress away. Why are you both still single? Well, maybe because you’re just thinking of the same thing and the same reason.

I’m not sure why there are so many reasons why people are single. Well, sometimes, they just don’t want it to become complicated and that’s the reason why they just keep their feelings to themselves. Believe me, single people are special in a very unique kind of way. So, I don’t know about you, but you can just choose among these seven and label yourself out.
