5 Reasons You're Still Single by Nobody: 9:06pm On Mar 06, 2020
We just entered 2020, and you are still a single pringle. You don't have anyone to trade love messages with and send attractive and sexy pictures of you. There is no bae to post on your social media status and caption LOML. There is no one to exhaust the intensity of your emotions on, and there is definitely nobody to open up to with no fear of being vulnerable.

Wondering why? It is one (or more) of the reasons below.

1. You don't hang out

How are you going to meet bae when you are always at home wearing big tees and walking around barefooted? Oh hollup, I just figured it out. The doorbell is doing to ring first thing in the morning someday. Sleepyhead you will answer the door, but as soon as you open it, you stop in your tracks. Behold the best-looking man or woman you have ever seen all your life. You let him/her in, and you both live happily ever after. No?

If you do not go out and you aren't actively in spaces online where you can meet new people, especially of the gender you are attracted to, you are your own problem. With this lifestyle, your chance of meeting ‘the one’ is very low or non-existent.

The reason you are walking into 2020 majestically in all your singlehood is that you do not hang out or go to new places. It's a work, home, work, home, order. Stop following the same routine. The world won't bite your nose off. Play dress up and go say hello to it!

2. You hang out with the wrong people

Most times, the kind of people you hang out with determine if you hang out and where you hang out. If you hang out with boring fellows, chances are, you'd do boring stuffs, and these boring stuffs won't include hanging out. And when it does, it'd be hanging out in boring places where other boring people are.

Hang out with young people like you who have the same energy or even better. Say no to cliques that are filled with people who are young in body but grannies at heart.

3. You want Mr/Miss perfect

Even though a lot of us can not handle it, we want perfect partners. We want people who are picture perfect and who'd turn heads when we are out with them. We want the pride and the rush of adrenaline when friends congratulate us, ask us how we got so lucky and go green with envy. We want partners who we don't feel like we deserve because they are too good to be true. Beyond the looks, we want partners who also tick all our boxes and are everything we have ever dreamt of.

There is nothing wrong with wanting the best. However, reality has a problem with that. Nobody is perfect. No one person can be all of that to you unless you want to pick people who have some of the qualities you are looking for and take turns to date them.

You are still single because you have refused to open your heart to all the prospects around you. There is either one excuse or the other; their right butt is bigger than the left. They bend their head to the left when they laugh, but you'd prefer if they bend it to the right. They aren't photogenic. They don't have skin like milk.

Funny thing is, you lack most of the things that you want in the perfect partner. Now, it is good to look for someone who you are attracted to physically. I, for one, I'm not looking to date an ugly duckling. However, look beyond the look. Beyond looks, the character may not be a 100 percent, but as long as they tick most of your boxes and are open to learning and making things work, there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.

‘The one’ might have been right in front of you the whole time, but you are too busy searching for them in Senegal to see.

4. You are the problem

You really aren't dateable or even marriable. Maybe dateable but not marriable. People who date you know this, so they know when to take a bow before you ruin their lives.

How to know if you are the problem? What reasons did your exes give for breaking up with you? Are their reasons similar? If you were your dream partner, would you settle down with someone like you?

5. You won't settle for less

The reason you are still single is that you won't settle for less. You know what you want, you have your standards, and you won't lower it for anyone or anything. You are not bad yourself. You know you are a big deal and anyone would you lucky to have you. In fact you are the bag. When you see the person you are looking for, you will know and till then, you are single like a mingle. (I should be a rapper y'all)

This is so commendable. You are the real MVP. No matter what anyone tells you, remember that the universe is listening to you, and it'd bring someone deserving of your goodness soon.

You are welcome even if you didn’t say thanks.

I am single because all the she-male I had ever wanted to asked out turn out to be low key gold diggers at the friendship stage. Once I see the signs, I run. I like when you keep calm and act like I owe you nothing but love, care and material things from my own willings. But instead, this girl only want to spend and sometimes doesn't even know your source of wealth. WTF
I think it's natural with Nigeria girls to start expecting profits once u started dating them and this is due to the kind of friends they walk with coupled with the hardship in the country.

Once am ready to settle down for marriage, I might need to hide been rich from my wife to be just to know her real nature. True love surpass money abeg, in the sense that

'You use your money to employ a security who hate you or doesn't truly like you but only acting for the doe. When challenges come, he will expose you to the enemy and run for his life but if he truly loves you, he believes you are all in for the challenges'

Haven't you been told lately that alot of women can foot their bills and be very independent??

Your money can fetch you you a woman you desire at the moment....


But true love will fetch you a woman that will grow with you and support you....


Money isn't everything.,.. Some women can make you run poor within a space of time...From your millions

This mentality of have money is something soundly stupid.

Nice one bro I said this In one thread like that and am saying it again can't remember the thread precisely, around early 2019 I dated a black American from Louisiana she's not that rich though but she tried her best,In what Aspect sending me some little money from her second job
At least showing me that she really care
Even planning on me coming over but like I said earlier she's not a rich type, even some peeps in our street was like this guy na Yahoo boy and I will tell them come check my phone if you see anything there
So what exactly did I want to figure out in all what have said,she really love me and I do too
But here in Nigeria the moment you tell a girl you love her you already owe her your monthly salary
Why.??
