If you’re anything like me, you’re holding out on love for as long as you can.

The only reason I’m doing this is because I want to become somewhat successful and financially stable before I get seriously involved with someone. I want to give them a great life, you know? And I also want to become as great of a person as I possibly can.

Look, I’m not against relationships in the slightest. If you’re still dating your college, or even high school sweetheart, then I’m happy for you. The most important thing for you to do is keep at it, but for those who clicked on this because you’re single and want guidance, read on.

Truthfully I’m not avoiding love, I’m just not actively pursuing it, you know? I’m not on dating sites, or going out to bars to meet people. I have someone that I have my eye on, but for the most part I spend my days pursuing my goals and dreams — which is completely fine!

Being single gives you a BOATLOAD of time to figure yourself out, work on your private aspirations, and dream.

A friend of mine who got divorced around 40 years old told me that her biggest regret was getting married so early. Is getting married early always wrong? Of course not, but staying single after college does give you more time to take a look at yourself.

In short, that’s why I’m doing it. I’m going to see the world so I don’t have any regrets later on about what I did and didn’t do with my life. To me, there’s multiple people we can fall in love with in our lifetime — there’s not just one.
