Why you Should be Single this Summer

couple-TGJ.01

When the summer months roll around, we find that one of two thoughts cross our minds. “I can’t wait for a summer with the boys.” “Damn it, I actually wish I had a girlfriend this year.” Because despite the fact that actually all we now get off are a measly two weeks (is that really enough?!), when we think of summer we can’t help but think of the long holidays we used to have. You know the ones, where you had so much time off you didn’t know what to do with it. The point is, summer equals fun. And fun equals… well you know. It is often said that summer is one of the best times of the year to have another half, but from our past experience, there is no better time to be single. Here are 10 reasons why you are better off this year without a girlfriend.

Why You’re Better off Without a Girlfriend, 1. You can spend all your money going on a boy’s holiday, 2. You can devote all your time and energy to said boy’s holiday, 3. All girls look better in the summer months, if you’re single you can enjoy it…all of it, 4. You can focus on your career. While your colleagues are wasting away their summers with their other halves, you can use this opportunity to get ahead in the company., 5. Let’s be honest, the warm weather makes everyone a little hot under the collar…. if you know what I mean. All the better for a single man., 6. You can try out lots of different dates (of the location not the female variety). Click here for our best Spring Dates, 7. You don’t answer to anyone, if you want to jet off for three weeks there’s no one to say no to you., 8. You won’t have to spend your money on anyone else. You can spend all your hard earned cash on yourself., 9. You don’t have any commitments to anyone., 10. Not having to constantly check in with anyone. While your friends are constantly receiving texts from their better half asking where they are, you will be left stress free., 11. Festivals in a couple are not a good idea. Also, being with a couple is the worst. “No, we are not going to find your girlfriend and her mates.” Steer clear of these eventualities and go with the boys., 12. You won’t get in trouble for checking out the girl in the white short shorts, 13. You needn’t worry about incriminating photos of you and a crowd of bikini-clad girls at a pool party covering Facebook – far from it in fact, you can be delighted that someone got photographic evidence, 14. You can enjoy the wealth of attention you’re bound to get with your new tan and white trousers
