Ok, So let's talk about things we do when we are single that we don't do when we are dating.

I'll list a couple that i do below, also this is supposed to just be a fun post and nothing to intense.



1: letting your facial hair grow out

2: miss a couple showers

3: eat tons of junk food

The one thing that automatically comes to mind is "going to a certain well known restaurant for hot wings..." but I've never been there. :p

Cussing, spitting, belching, farting. Of course some girls could give some guys a run for their money in these things, but generally when you're dating someone most people try to curtail these rather unattractive habits.

Your profile says you're 17.

So... how many times exactly have you experienced being "single" after the devastating breakup of a long-term relationship?

Uh... maxwel, the OP never claimed he had ever been in a relationship, much less that he had gone through a break-up.

three times, but does that really matter?

I mean the post is about habits we entertain when we are not trying to impress someone we are dating.

My question would be "is forfeiting what I normally do worth trying to impress someone?"

Maybe that's why I've never been on a date... :p

"Hush Lynx!"

Okay I'll stop now. :cool:

Not being yourself in the beginning ruins everything and leads to assumptions, wasted time and broken hearts. Be honest so that you will know whether they will stay or not despite your imperfections.

I will still be me (good and bad) dating or not. I am patient sometimes, but bad tempered sometimes just like everybody else.

There goes the hope of this being a non intense post.

I am not saying don't be yourself, I am just asking what people around here do when they are single that they normally wouldn't when dating. Yes, absolutely be yourself when dating, no one is say otherwise.

But when you date someone you most likely will make a point to be well dressed when you go to meet up with them,
or make more of an effort (us guys) to not miss a shower ect.

Come on guys, I was just having a little fun.

Whenever a teenager is talking about breakups and being single, I always want to say,
"When you're older you'll be SO GLAD that THAT ONE got away!"

Well, in a way i thank God for all the brake ups and "heart brakes" because it in a way teaches me how to be better at relationships, and not just dating relationships.

I DISAGREE!

The beginning of the relationship is the ONLY time you can "not be yourself".
Because if you try to do it later, SHE'LL KNOW!!!!

Here's some advice for the young guys:
If you say you're an international spy, like James Bond...
you can get away with ANYTHING!


Miss a dinner appointment?
"Sorry honey, the Russians were after me again."

Forget her birthday?
"Your present was in my car, and they blew it up."

Her sister sees you with another girl?
"That was NOT a date... it was a MISSION."


If you DO decide to "not be yourself", then being a super spy is the BEST.

Not that I've ever told a girl this stuff... but... uhhh... it's just what I've heard.

Yeah, every time I read this thread title my brain locks up because two different soundtracks are trying to play at the same time. The first one is:
"If you're single and you know it, wipe your eyes
If you're single and you know it, wipe your eyes
If you're single and you know it
Loneliness is gonna show it
If you're single and you know it, wipe your eyes/blow your nose/cry some more/make a blog/play guitar/facebook post/pet the cat/etc."


OR

"I'm single and I know it" to the tune of "sexy and I know it." :rolleyes:
