You don't have to resent being single, or even be scared of it. Perhaps you've always, or mostly, been single, or maybe you're suddenly single after a long period of being coupled up and the idea of dating terrifies you. Whatever the case, you shouldn't feel "desperate and dateless" just because you're single. If you see being single as a negative, you're going to attract negative, or nothing, into your life.
Being single is when you live for yourself, not just by yourself. Being single should not mean being solely on a quest for love. It may in some ways be a quest - to find yourself and learn how to be the best you can be, in and out of a relationship - but frankly a lot of being single is, well, just being ... you.
Relish life, indulge in your own interests and follow your own passions. When you are excited by your own life others will be attracted to you. If you try to fake your way into someone's heart it will never work and will certainly not last. The "game" of dating doesn't need to have rules, except for one: be yourself.
Essential tips to keep in mind if you're single include:
Enjoy your single life. Think of all you have to look forward to: the first kiss, the anticipation of falling in love. It's exciting being single! Your future is wide open and you can write your own happy beginning and ever after.
*Get to know who you are and what you like rather than focusing on a search for love.
*When you do look for love, do the things you enjoy, rather than faking it because you think that's where the other singles are.
*Reflect on what you've learned from past relationships so future relationships get a better start. Don't look for love until you have an open heart that is healed from past hurts.
*If you must make a list of what you're looking for in a mate, do it, then put it away and don't let it become a narrow script that closes you off to other opportunities.
*Be prepared for love to come in the most unexpected packages and surprising ways.
