If you’re a single girl like me and have heard that saying more then once, from you’re coupled up friends, then you will know what I mean. To me that translation means “HA HA HA I have a man and you know you want what I got!” Ermmm, pardon I don’t think so mate. You were only single 2 days ago!

Now don’t get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with my friends being in relationships. But I do have a problem when all of a sudden they are now Match.com! It’s like when your friend gets a boyfriend; she has now decided her mission is life is to set you up with every single guy she knows. Once she has left the single life you are now considered a desperate woman who needs to find her mate. *rolls eyes*

I remember one conversation I had with a friend after she found a boyfriend. Majority of her talking consisted on how great her man was. Apparently he made the cutest of noises when he slept; I had to be there to understand. (I don’t think she would have appreciated me turning up and jumping in their bed waiting for “that noise”. Considering I sleep naked that would have been an awkward moment!)
When she had rambled on for a good 30mins talking about how he was “The One“, something must have clicked in her head that I haven’t actually spoken yet. Except for the um’s, and aww’s that where programmed in my brain to activate. (You see I was beginning to zone out and was wondering what’s for dinner) Eventually after taking a breath she asks those dreaded words “Are you seeing anyone nice?”

I bloody hate that sentence, first of all are you assuming that I wouldn’t be seeing someone nice. All of a sudden have all my past conquest been ugly. DPMO!!

Now with girls in relationships, if you tell them yes they jump up and down for joy like Gucci posted them a bag! But if you tell them no, they look at you like you slept with their man. So now I had to think, do I let her continue on about her man or do I just talk about the recent date I had with Adrian. I chose the latter as I was sure she would have started telling me the baby names she had picked out!

So I started off with how I had recently gone on this date with a guy who I had been talking too but I don’t think it will go anywhere. That’s when she looked at me with such disgust! “What do you mean, give him a go, you never know were it will end up. Just look how happy I am!” Hold up is my friend encouraging me to keep seeing a guy who bores me to death and I would rather watch paint dry! If she was still single she would have told me to dump him as there are plenty of more fish in the sea. Now all of sudden I’m suppose to “Give it a go”.
Then I get told “Denica you’re always meeting these guys, you’re getting older and need to settle down!” Pardon, I’m 24 years old not reaching for my pension. Why have I got to settle down because you have?

Now before any girls in relationships start cussing and say “I just want my friend to be happy!” Let me ask you a question, what makes you think that she isn’t? *Bueller…….Bueller….* Most of the girls I know with a man end up complaining half of the time that their man is pissing them off! One girl told me that their man was always doing dumb things. My answer was to stop going out with a dip shit. (Side note, we are no longer friends. I Wonder why *shrugs shoulders*) So when your complaining, is it a wonder that us single girls would rather stay single. I have learnt not to comment on friends relationship as 1) They don’t listen anyways and 2) If I say why do you stay the Jeremy Kyle statement “But I love him” would be uttered.

One time I got told that single girls don’t understand girls in relationships as we are selfish and only have time for us! Well your damn right I am selfish and I enjoy being selfish. I say good on you ladies who have found their very own Leon, but im going to pass on your pearls of wisdom. Somehow wearing what I want, going where I like and not worrying what the other half is doing. Beats taking a trip to Ikea to pick out that Blue sofa that matches the walls.
*Yawn*
I have to go Drink now and “Hang in there!”
