single pringle ;)

i have no shame in being single :) i am actually loving it. no pressures on wanting to see the guy, no pressures of not including him in the group etc. i was actually reading this book my mum gave me (dont ask) about the teenage years, its actually reaaaaallllllllyyyyy good. its like a step by step thing on being a teenage girl and all the worries n stuff. it sounds lame but it isnt :)

it had this section on relationships, and (this next bit i see as very true) it says this (i dont have the book in front of me right now, this is just from the top of my head what i remember)::

there is no shame in being single. It is not a bad thing, it actually gives you a lot more freedom. Lots of girls think that they are 'not good enough' for a guy, or they are 'not girlfriend material'. This is ridiculous! All girls have the capabilities to have or get a guy. You just have to wait for the right one. Here are some positives to being single:

• You can go wherever you want when you want without having to think if he will approve
• You can flirt with whoever you want when you want
• You can fool around and be completely yourself (though guys like to think we can be normal around them, it is a bit embarrassing sometimes)
• You can have great girl's nights out without wanting to text him to say goodnight

I also thought of some of my own (besides the ones i mentioned @ the start) ::

• You can walk around without people stopping you and saying 'you're going out with that guy, right?' and asking all ridiculous questions about it
• You can check out guys without caring or thinking twice
• You can flirt with whoever you want ( i know this was said above, but i thought i'd re-mention it haha)
• You can pay more attention to guys who look at you as you walk through a shopping centre/mall like garden city (garbo)
• You can laugh with your friends at whether they think 'that guy over there is checking you out!'

so yep. i might even have a crush already. =S i mean i have been thinking about this guy for a while, and used to majoorrllyyy like him, but now i think its just a crush and will wear off, but i dont care, its actually fun having a crush coz u get so excited when ur around the guy, and u end up having more fun coz ur flirting or trying to impress.

so id just like to say to anyone who feels stupid coz they r single - get a laugh out of it why you can and stop feeling so sad about it.

im not saying that my time with michael was wasted. maybe that last bit (the last about 5ish weeks) might have been, but the rest was just like being in heaven (not the dead part, the good part) but i got over it and glad it ended when it did. :)
