I think there’s something exciting to be said about being 27 and single! You are on the precipice of your life and everything is in front of you. First dates, first kisses, first everything!
Not sure if you’ve read this, but this is one of my favourite articles on choosing a life partner: http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/02/pick-life-partner.html
The part I find very helpful is, “Dissatisfied single people should actually consider themselves in a neutral, fairly hopeful position, compared to what their situation could be. A single person who would like to find a great relationship is one step away from it, with their to-do list reading, “1) Find a great relationship.” People in unhappy relationships, on the other hand, are three leaps away, with a to-do list of “1) Go through a soul-crushing break-up. 2) Emotionally recover. 3) Find a great relationship.” Not as bad when you look at it that way, right?”
I think there’s something to be said about letting go of an expected outcome and just concentrating on living in the present. Stop dating. Stop actively seeking out Mr. Right. Focus on yourself; build a life you love. Everything else is just the cherry on top!
