- Dating a guy you really liked just for him to let you know weeks or months later he isn’t over his ex
- Dying/cutting your hair because it feels like the only control you have in your life
- Swerving guys because you were being loyal to a guy you aren’t actually dating
- Looking at a guy’s hand for a ring before deciding if he’s attractive. Married men are OFF limits
- Telling yourself dating apps are stupid then redownloading it an hour later
- Watching a happy rom-com and laughing because you know how unrealistic they are
- You definitely have said, “All the good guys are taken”
- You have laid in bed crying and listening to sad music thinking about how single you are
- Questioning if a guy is flirting with you or being nice
- Then get upset when you find out he was just being nice instead of flirting
- Wondering to yourself why guys don’t like you
- Having a dramatic storytime with your girls whenever there is an update, good or bad
- Getting attention from several guys, just not guys you are interested in
- You have probably been ghosted when you thought things were going well
- Posting a cute photo on your story then constantly refreshing your phone to see if your crush has seen it
- Getting angry at your family when they ask about your love life
- Judging some of your friend’s choices in significant others because it is better to be single than date a loser
- Getting hit on by guys that could be your dad
- Having a new guy every week so your friends can’t keep up
- Telling yourself, “he’s not like the other guys,” then he immediately disappoints you
- Being a little jealous of all your friends in relationships
- Still being nice to a guy you liked even though he shattered your heart
- Getting nervous AF to ask your crush to hang, or even being scared to just text them because you fear rejection
- Crushing on celebs because Harry Styles would never treat you poorly
- Lastly, you realized the real reason you are single is that your OTP is out there and you refuse to settle. Never settle honey, you got this!
