The 10 Things You Must Do When You're Single

  1. Travel alone to develop your independence.

     

  2. Wallow in a broken heart [1]. This gives you time to heal from any previous relationship problems.

     

  3. Spend a weekend with a married couple your age. You will see marriage [2] is not the ideal state you might imagine it to be.

     

  4. Don't stay home all night. Live a little and enjoy your single [3] status.

     

  5. Stand up for a cause you care about. People are attracted to others who are passionate about the things they love [4].

     

  6. Learn to fly a plane, surf some big waves, or start your own business [5]. This can also help to nurture your self-reliance.

     

  7. Learn how to take care of yourself. You'll be better suited to a wider range of partners.

     

  8. Buy something hugely impractical just because you love [4] it. It's a good idea to treat yourself every once in a while.

     

  9. Develop a hobby. More skills and interests can make you more attractive.

     

  10. Be completely, utterly, wholly single [3] for at least three months.
