Agreed, in a world as difficult and yet as myriad as ours, being single isn't easy. But then it has its own perks; who wouldn't like to be a free bird and go through hordes of options before saying 'I do.'
However, just when you have decided to take things ahead with yourself, there are certain aunties, cousins and colleagues who ask us the unformidable question —why are we still single? Asking a single lady, her reasons for being single is no less that putting your hands inside a hungry lion's mouth. Unless, you aren't the next Oprah Winfrey, there are certain questions you should steer away from asking a single lady. If you have been thinking what are those question, then here you go:
1. You still haven't met the right guy:
Yes, this line helps when you have just broken up with someone, but not when you are single and working on options by your choice. A single lady knows her worth and would never settles anything less than a life which is all about balancing her career and home; whilst growing old with a man who loves more than life itself.
2. Your biological clock is ticking:
See, the thing is our biological clock starts ticking since we hit our puberty. However, with advanced science and tech around us, we single ladies have an option of freezing our dear eggs and using it when we are ready. And at the same time we also have the choice of never using them in our lives. Single ladies know when to control and let go their biological clock.
3. You aren't really trying hard:
The only that a single woman tries really hard is to escape from this boring and dead conversation that you have brought up. It's her call whether she wants to pursue hard or take it light and focus on her career and her passions. So stop bothering her, as probably she already has a plan and back-up plan ready for herself.
4. You are missing out on eligible guys:
The point for every single woman is not to set the guns on fire and settle with the very first guy she meets. But she looks forward to settle down with a guy who is going to make her life more meaningful and help her grow as an individual rather than killing her passions and ambitions. When she meets that guy, that dear ladies, is her ideal and the most eligible guy for her.
5. You must start using dating apps:
The only app a single woman most frequently uses is how to get away by bullying worthless people who are constantly taunting her for singledom. As for dating apps, a single woman will use these apps as and when she's ready to use. There are still many singles who love to date a man in the old school traditional type.
