10 Reasons Relationships Are Not For You

Friday, July 25, 2014, 16:05 [IST]

There is this old saying that god has created us all in pairs. So basically, someone, somewhere is waiting for you. Actually, it doesn't work out that easily if you go by statistics. The current sex ratio of India is that there are 940 women for every 1000 men. That means we are about 60 women short technically. So, the 'pairs' philosophy does not necessarily work. Don't worry, relationships are not for everyone. May be relationships are not for you.

It is not that you are not ready for relationships. It is just that you are not 'made' for relationships. You cannot understand why two people fall in love and just decide to settle down. The concept of marriage chokes you and you think relationships are not worth it. Relationships are so much hard work that you just don't feel up to it.

12 WAYS HOW MARRIAGE CHANGES YOUR LIFE

The fabled 'void' that single people are supposed to feel after a certain age has never bothered you and you would much rather say that you are not ready for a relationship as of now. Every time one of your friends gets hooked, you think to yourself 'another one bites the dust'. If these are your thoughts, then relationships are not for you.

These are signs that you are simply not meant to be in relationships.

All your friends are either married or have babies

That means you are already above the marriageable age by now. If love did not happen to you when you were young, then it will not be able to fool you when you are old and wise.

You prefer chocolate to sex

They say that chocolate heals everything including a broken heart. Some say that chocolate can even stifle your natural libido. Who would bother getting into a relationship when you can just hog on chocolates.

You hate sharing food

You are already in love; but it is with food. You are big eater and prefer eating by yourself. So, it gets really awkward when someone is there to share food from your table.

You enjoy your alone time

Everybody needs their space. But you love your 'me' time a little more than the others. You cannot swallow the idea of sharing your entire life with someone.

You love dating different people

You love dating people casually. In this way, you get to meet so many different people and learn so many different things. Being in a relationship with one person is just so boring.

You love 'being' in the friend zone

It is so easy and happy to be 'friends' with someone from the opposite sex. Needless to say that it is so difficult and exhausting to be in a relationship with a person from any sex. If those are your thoughts, then relationships are not for you.

You have never experienced a broken heart

You could never understand why your friends got so tearful after a breakup because you personally never felt a thing other than relief after your breakups.

You can't remember your last break up

You were in a serious relationship some time back but you guys broke up. Was it 5 years back or did that happen in college? Still thinking? You are clearly not relationship material.

You can't recall you ex's names

People can slip up on their spouse's name but they always remember the name of that significant ex. It's called the one that got away. But now that you think about it, you cannot remember the name of single guy or girl you dated in the past.

You like the freedom to be dirty and sweaty

Personal hygiene is not one of your high points. You hate the idea of waxing your legs every month or shaving every week. It is much cooler to stay single and lie in your own filth.
