I’d love to say that the annoying question “Why are you still single?” comes up only on holidays, but every single girl out there knows that’s not the case. This inane question pops its ugly head out all the time. Family events. Friend gatherings. Business dinners. Even first dates. Why, oh, why would someone want to make you feel like shit about being single on a first date? He got to go out with you because you’re single! Sheesh! Anyway, the big question (after you get asked the annoying question) is how to deal with it? Well, I have some tips. Read more

Every single girl has been asked annoying questions about her relationship status by her family. It’s just one (of the many!) terrible parts of being single.

Is anyone else dealing with back-to-back weddings this summer? I am and so many of my girlfriends are too. And weddings are of course super happy occasions. I totally live for weddings! But, even I’ll admit, they’re a little happier when you’re in a couple. When you’ve got a man, a wedding is basically a big, fancy date that someone else is paying for. When you’re single, they’re kinda a big fat reminder of how alone you are…with cake. And when it’s a family wedding, the fun factor can be turned down even more because your weird Aunt Helene is sucking the air out of the room. Trust me, I know the story. (If you’re reading this, hi, Aunt Helene!) Well, here’s how to have fun at a crappy family wedding if you’re single.

Lately, I've heard a lot of talk about how being single is exhausting...no surprise there! Repeatedly getting your hopes up before a date, only to have it be a total disaster can start to weigh on you, and between all of the online dating sites, apps and communication (texting, emails, gchat, phone calls...) you have to manage, dating can start to feel like a chore. If dating is just one more thing on your to-do list, and exasperates you rather than excites you, you may have a case of singles burnout on your hands. Here is how to get back to a place where dating is more exciting than exhausting. Read more
