5 Reasons Why Being Single Sucks

Yesterday was Sweetest Day, a man made holiday created in Ohio to help candy factories sell overstock candy. Somehow, it has become a cherished annual tradition for both singles and couples alike to celebrate this day. Aside from a few random "Happy Sweetest Day" text messages, I sat at home alone. Bored. Angry. Again. Here are my top 5 reasons why being single sucks.

The Arrival of Cuffing Season

During the late fall and winter, the rate of couples inevitably sky rockets. People jump into relationships faster than a burning man into Lake Erie.

(So cute that it hurts. CHECK PLEASE!)

We All Want That Special Someone

As much as I claim to be liberated and happily single, there are days when I miss having a partner who genuinely cares for me. I miss going on dates. I miss steamy showers together. I miss being slapped on my behind as I walk by my man. I miss texting all day while we're at work or school, then talking all night. I miss having someone who is thinking about me just as much as I am thinking about him.

These are only 5 reasons why being single sucks. Grab a bottle of wine and leave your reasons in the pity party (comments box) below. Happy Sweetest Day. Yeah right.
