For a single person (who doesn't really want to be single), some days are more stressful than others. It's hard to take a walk through a park only to see lovebirds kissing on a bench. Even hanging out with coupled friends can be a drag if they are showing pda. For the singles out there, seeing a happy, loving couple can be tiring and stressful. Of course, Pyar.com is a great way to find and chat with singles in your area, but it may take a while before you find a true connection, and even longer to meet in person.
When there is a day that you're feeling the single blues, there are things you can do instead of hiding in your house like a cave troll. Here are a few examples of things you can do by yourself instead of feeling lonely.
1. TV Binge
Netflix is yours for the taking. Go and put on your comfy PJs and binge a show you've been meaning to watch, or an old favorite.
2. Treat Yourself
The best part of being single is you have some extra money that you're not spending on gifts or dinners for two. So, why not use that extra money on something for you? Buy that sweater you've been eyeing, or pamper yourself with a spa day.
3. Exercise
Research shows that exercise releases endorphins, which will make you feel less bummed and more energetic.
4. Take a Day Trip
You don't have to go all that far - and can even stay in your own neighborhood. Maybe there's a nearby landmark you've always wanted to check out but never had the chance. Walk around your city as if you are a tourist visiting for the first time. You never know what - or who - you may find in your journey.
5. Create a "Me" Journal
Find or purchase an unused notebook and keep it with you wherever you go. Try not to write anything that will make you feel sad or angry. Instead, write down positive qualities about yourself. What great things have you accomplished in life so far, and plan to in the near future? What are some physical or personality traits you like about yourself? What are some qualities you would like your future significant other to have? Make the "Me" journal your own style. You can write sideways, doodle, sketch, use different color inks - anything! In the end, you might realize some great things about yourself you never thought of before.
Try one of these things and you might just feel a little better at the end of the day. Being in a loving relationship is a wonderful thing, but being single doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Keep putting yourself out there and take the time to really understand what you want from a significant other.
Happy dating!
