It’s not the status nor the relationship goals girls see on social media, it’s the fact that they are single. In this world full of relationship goals, we should remember there are the ‘singles’ not the boys but the girls who struggle with being alone in life. Yes, we have friends, but at the end of the day, singles will be singles.

So, Here are the top five reasons why girls tend to overthink things especially when they are single.

1. Because I’m on my mid 20s; like everyone my age is either engaged, married or steady with a husband and kids.

Girls are so much different from boys because most girls are put into pressure ‘if she won’t marry on her 30s, she won’t conceive a child anymore’. They are the ones who will bear a child, and the perfect age for the is on your mid 20s not only scientifically but also financially. It’ll be hard to raise a child if you have it on you mid 30s. I bet you are still working for the child’s school on your 50s which should be your close-to-retirement age already.

And old people say that it is better that you have a child on your 20s for you to be able to balance life, work and yourself. You are young and there’s still number of years to spend before your 30s. If you’re single, it’s a waste of time to sit there and watch ’em couples be happy.

2. Because I’m a girl and I cannot do the first move.

Why are you single? You broke up with your long time boyfriend or you are just not lucky enough to be approached by your crush or any guy in this world who might be looking for the right girl, which is YOU. Girls are being stereotyped, I mean, they always say that girls shouldn’t be too loud on expressing their emotions especially when they like a guy, so the debate here is, how can a guy(assuming that he doesn’t know) can prolly tell that you like him without being too discrete.

How can a single girl be in a relationship if everyone around is not available. If there is one, you cannot ask him on a date because you will be judged. I mean, in this society we are living, you cannot say HI first because guys will think of you as low.

So how can we save ourselves?

3. Because our parents are getting older and they want to see their grand children.

Not everyone, but I’m sure you can hear the magic question: “When are you getting married?” Every now and then during reunions and get together for the family. Just like reason No. 1, parents also want their children to get married soon before they leave the earth. Some parents will tell us, “I had you when I was 20, now you are 25, I think you better think of your future.”

4. Because I’m always the bridesmaid but never the bride.

“No matter how I catch the bouquet on weddings, I still can’t get in the zone.” I heard a friend say this and I was like, you are not the only one. But hell, I totally think everyone deserves to be a bride but the real question is when? Some girls are too impatient to wait years and years, can you blame them? How many bridesmaid’s dresses are they going to where in the future?

5. Lastly, Because even if we are happy single, we just don’t want to grow old alone.

There’s nothing wrong from being single but sometimes, you just ask yourself, “When?” It’s like you are just too tired of being alone. You are scared to die alone. Who isn’t? At some point, our friends, siblings, cousins, will have their own lives, they will eventually going to be busy and you will end up having coffee alone because you cannot invite your best friend because she’s busy taking care of her kids or at the end of the day, you will still go home alone.

Some reasons are funny but come to think of it, girls who are single are way too smart and careful of all the things they do. They are careful because they don’t want anything they’ve worked hard for just be ruined by a guy. Just don’t ask them why they’re single, they do bite.
