A list of some must-have experiences for women who are single and have a little time on their hands.
To Build Your Confidence…
- Go to a movie alone.
- Lift weights.
- Live alone, or at least move apartments without the help of family.
- Go to a scary doctor’s appointment by yourself.
- Quit your job. It feels so good to take a job and shove it (and not be affecting anyone else’s livelihood).
- Travel alone.
- Learn to stand up for yourself.
- Revel in being able to watch all the reality TV shows you want.
- Go on a date with someone who actually makes you nervous.
- Go out with an older man who takes you somewhere nice and makes you feel like a million bucks.
- Go out with a guy who makes you laugh till it hurts.
To Get Perspective…
- Be a good wingwoman. It’s not always about you.
- Chill with your widowed and single grandma. She knows “alone”!
- Volunteer.
To Make You Appreciate the Next Guy…
- Do at least one Valentine’s Day alone.
- Attend a wedding (or 15) alone.
- Date the creeps. You’ll really value the nice guys afterward.
To Make You Feel Sexy and Attractive…
- Buy yourself some flowers.
- Invest in a LBD (little black dress) and some sexy stilettos.
- Sit at a bar by yourself and drink a martini. Cool.
- Buy something frivolous and expensive that you LOVE wearing.
To Make the Most of Your Free Time…
- Finish all your schooling if you can.
- Throw yourself into something time-consuming. You may not have time to do this again until you retire and the kids are in the university.
To Make Yourself a Better Partner in the Future…
- Make a list of all your faults.
- Learn to cook well.
- Get some hobbies. Something’s gotta keep you occupied—plus it’ll make you seem interesting.
- Let your married friends edit your online dating profile.
- Get your finances in order.
To Appreciate Being Single…
- Babysit someone’s baby for an hour.
- Help a friend through her divorce or a bad break-up.
- Host a girls-only night. I think some coupled-up women forget how much we need each other.
