So I've been single for 4 months now...and the fun thing about it is that I have unneeded stress removed from my life. Stress of having to go places where I don't want to go. Stress of my significant other's family harping at me for no reason. Stress of "needing" to go out on dates in order for us to remain together. Yeah, I don't miss any of that. 
So I get to do what I have planned instead of someone being controlling over me.

I think eating will become a common theme.
For me, it's that I can make seafood for supper. Just being able to make seafood whenever I want...making whatever I want to eat feels like such freedom. I love to cook for people, and I loved to cook for The Ex, but she was a ludicrously picky eater. At one point, I had a document saved in my Blackberry that listed and categorized everything she wouldn't eat.

*blinkblinkblink* Was this an adult?
One of the fun things about being single is that I can spend a lot of time out with friends or spending the night at my good friends' houses. I was just thinking the other day that, were I married or something, I wouldn't be able to do what I do now anymore. Granted, I probably wouldn't mind 'cause HE would be my close friend, but still. Not the same. ^_^

- I can giggle incessantly at videos on YouTube
- I can talk to my cat
- I can blast my music, whatever music I want
- I can sing and dance and be silly whenever
- I can make weird sounds whenever I want (usually I'm imitating something I hear)
- I can hit the snooze button as many times as I want without disturbing anyone
- I can read at night as late as I want without keeping him up
- I can talk to (read: yell at) other drivers while I drive
All of these without being judged or looked at strangely. Though, hopefully if I have a boyfriend/husband, he'll appreciate those things. I do them somewhat often, so...he hopefully he will at least tolerate them.

Let's see...
I can watch any movie I want without having to compromise.
I can hang out with friends or stay home.
I can sit anywhere I want in church. (Yes, this used to be an issue with my ex)
I don't have to listen to him complain about how small my car is. (Also an issue with my ex. He was 6'2" and my previous car was too small for his liking.)
I don't have to mold my schedule around anyone else's.
I don't have to deal with being compared to other women everyday. (Yep, same ex)
Man, I'm glad I'm not with him any more!

Indeed it is so much nicer to cook for some one.
Cooking for one self does not feel so thrilling.
More passion and pride and communion to cook and dine for and with someone.
I like cooking for some one but not for myself.
what point spend loads money make expensive meal for self that taste awful when reheated.
Micro pop for dinner just aint healthy do.
That not nice being compared to other woman always.
Perhaps how fabulous they are and how awful you are and that indeed you should be more like them.
Good bout being single may be no one control they, dictate or steal (discussed in leadership and relationship and difference as liamson showed so gorgeously in his reply post with pictures of alladin)
Some times emotional abuse is a issue never seen or debated but still very real and makes you feel awful and miserable and neglect and loveless and daily put downs and comparissment , no affection and even feel hate from him.
No one betraying, stealing , abusing or if they are despite said no to marry them then it is crime and eventually restraingorder will start to work when given enough times.

Sheesh Jules. All the stuff that you said would be things I would do single or not. lol Guess you would just have to hope to have someone that would enjoy it with you if you weren't single.
Not sure this is a "fun" thing, but one thing I have noticed about when I am single is that I don't have to be as concerned about my own safety for the sake of others. So I tend to be more aggressive against criminal activity. I don't have someone back home "worrying" about me. Then again though, I was with someone that trusted me that I would come home safely and rooted for me. I guess it always comes back to the kind of person you are with.
Oh... I know. Spending time with family. THAT I DO enjoy being single. I was always bummed about not getting to see my family much when I was with someone.

The fun thing about being single...hmm...well, I would hope that if I have a partner (one day) they could be comfortable with me just fully being myself (as I am single) enough that things would be alright...but that aside:
Being able to sleep, be awake, be loud, have silence, eat, or otherwise do whatever you want whenever you want (within reason) with no one to answer to or interject.
You can also look, smell, be, etc however you want (if not around people) with no worry or care about what others thought or saw. (Being naked if you so choose...for example...or having a day or two off when you do absolutely nothing)
Other than that, I'm sure there are some cool benefits, but being with someone is really great, too. Believe me, regardless of what people try to impress, they both have GOOD and BAD parts to them CONSTANTLY and inconsistently as well. ^^0 You just have to learn to accept and dare I say enjoy...both.

For me, the fun thing is the ability to be completely spontaneous...I'm not really accountable to anyone, so I can come and go as I please, and get involved in doing whatever I want for now.
Another fun thing is that it's kind of exciting not knowing exactly with whom, or when I'll fall for someone again. It could happen tomorrow! Who knows.
