Just because we're single doesn't mean we're cold and lacking love!! My life is very much full of people that care about me and I will celebrate them at any opportunity!Throw it back on them with the open question "why does it effect you so much" so they can't say yes or no but have to explain. And keep going with the open questioning using what they say and they'll soon leave you alone....
I used to teach, and got asked if I was married every time I had a new class. After the inevitable "why nots" I'd reply, "just lucky I guess", which made them laugh and stopped the questions. I think if people think you want to be in a relationship they'll keep questioning, which is what I find most irritating - it's (mostly) not deliberate, but there's definitely an undercurrent of "what's wrong with you?".Throw it back on them with the open question "why does it effect you so much" so they can't say yes or no but have to explain.

same - i constantly think thisYou know what, there is one thing I am slightly jealous of about the non-singles - splitting bills
I live alone and would absolutely NEVER have it any other way (except animals, I need at least 2 dogs!), and there is no price I could ever put on not having to share my space....but when I see someone else's half rent payments etc, damn lol!
(it’s not enough to make me want to convince a man to date me but it’s annoying)Hahahahaha I'll just eat the whole meal for two!!same - i constantly think this
and when i want to treat myself to one of the tesco finest meal deals but it’s always a huge meal for two that i can’t properly split
Just having what you like, when you like, how you like really!Totally get this! My friend moans about having no money. Their joint income is more than double mine, have no mortgage and don’t ‘waste’ money but they have a lot of holidays or weekends away (that to me is a holiday but not them). Just came back from Balmoral and booked Florida without needing to save. I did have to tell her that she doesn’t have no money she would just like more. I would like someone to pay my bills. Or help. I’d love a lovely even a weekend away but right now it isn’t possible. I do have the two dogs and I recommend sticking with one. Two is a LOTYou know what, there is one thing I am slightly jealous of about the non-singles - splitting bills

Wouldn’t change them for the world but didn’t anticipate how hard two could be and they’re expensivei like your style!!Hahahahaha I'll just eat the whole meal for two!!
I do quite love cooking for myself and doing big batches so you can freeze the extra portions and that's you sorted for the week. I know technically that's possible if you're in a relationship too, but knowing that every single serving I make is for future me's convenience and not anyone else's is priceless.
Also making the food you like the exact way you like, right amount of spices
Yesssss omg, also when I am with my family I realise how much disruption other people cause!! Within one single episode it needs to be paused 4 times, someone walks in front of the screen, someone coughs during an important bit of dialogue, someone's rustling a packet of crispsI like not having a row about what to watch. Whenever I go home to see my family we spend an hour rowing about what we’re going to watch cause someone has already seen it, someone doesn’t like that actor blah blah blah.
I am grateful to be home with full control of the remote
I can't stand it!I have been occasionally.
Me too I’m so happy living alone with my dog! The security of having another income to fall back on would be a lovely position to be in. Thing is I’m too bleeping independentYou know what, there is one thing I am slightly jealous of about the non-singles - splitting bills

and embarrassed at talking about money there would be no point anyway 
ALL OF THISBeen single for years now. I haven’t been on a date since 2017, after the last guy I dated ghosted me. I had enough of dating the wrong guys or feeling as though I wasn’t “good enough” for guys who were more than just dysfunctional. I also had enough of being disrespected by guys who thought ghosting was appropriate.
I redirected my energy towards bettering myself and my career. I honestly do not regret it because my confidence was battered quite often when I was dating. Once I stopped dating, my confidence and identity flourished. No man can’t tell me nothing now
I’m also glad I don’t have to constantly worry about whether some guy likes me or whether he’ll call. Additionally, I’m not a big texter, so I’m glad I don’t have to always remind myself to respond to the person I’m dating.
Plus I don’t miss spending money and time in hair, makeup and clothes to look good for someone. I got better things to focus my energy on. Dating can be a mental nuisance in the early stages.
This could’ve been written by me even down to the date of your last guy! I wasted so much of my 20s chasing idiotic men who crushed my self worth and distracted me from improving myself. The moment I put an end to it and focussed on my life, I got my dream career, bought my little flat and gained more confidence in myself in general! I’m annoyed I didn’t do it sooner. Good on you for making something of yourself! 
Well done on all your achievementsALL OF THIS
This sums it up for me - why put myself through it when I'm perfectly happy as I am? Friends sometimes bang on about getting me on dating apps but I truly can't be arsed. Anyway all I'd want is someone to split the bills (and not my delicious batch-cooked and portioned-out food, or the remote) with. It'd also be good if they could live somewhere else
