SINGLE TOO LONG
FIVE SIGNS YOU'VE BEEN SINGLE TOO LONG:
#1.) YOU ASSUME YOU REPULSE THE OPPOSITE SEX. When someone cute walks by and smiles at you, you should take it as a compliment. But being single and out of the game for a while can start to wear on your confidence.
Before you know it, you'll start assuming these flirtatious glances are really smirks at your expense, probably aimed at your bad hair or frumpy outfit. And attracting anyone with that kind of attitude will be nearly impossible.
#2.) YOU DEVELOP BAD EATING HABITS. It takes effort to cook for one, and falling into the trap of eating like a bachelor is easy. If your cupboards are filled with food that can be cooked in less than five minutes, you've probably been on your own for too long.
It's not hard to get back on the right path: Head to the grocery store for a big order and shop for the basics like rice and pasta, pick up a spice rack, and invest in a cookbook that specializes in simple meals for one.
Sure, it's always going to be easier to just pop a dinner into the microwave, but look at it this way: When you DO start dating again, you'll be able to cook for your date.
#3.) YOU GUSH ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS TO YOUR FRIENDS. If you're answering your friends' small-talk questions with long, emotional rants on your lonely single life, you need to get a grip.
You shouldn't bottle up all those feelings, just learn to pick and choose who hears them and when to let them out.
#4.) YOUR DATING STANDARDS PLUMMET. When the dumpy girl down at the video store or the creepy older guy at the bar start to look like pretty good options to you, it's time to reevaluate your dating standards.
Just because you've been single for a while doesn't mean you should take whatever you can get. Keep your standards up, and the right person will eventually come along.
#5.) YOU GOOGLE OLD FLAMES. If you find yourself up late at night typing an ex's name into Google, wondering what they've been up to and hoping you guys could work out your differences, you should stop immediately and take a long, cold shower.
And social networking sites like Facebook have taken cyber-stalking to a whole new level. These sites offer a glimpse into your exes' social life complete with pictures, comments and more. Take a look if you have to, but DON'T attempt to contact them. (Ask Men)
