While many view singlehood as something negative, there really are many upsides to some solitary time. It’s a great time to experiment and figure things out for yourself. When alone, you can cater to your whims rather than someone else’s. Go ahead, schedule some time with that Cowboy you always wanted. We know you’re dying to!

Seriously though, don’t rush to find the next guy right away. Take your time, and you’ll save yourself a lot of wasted energy and heartache. Here are some tips to help you navigate the single waters for a little while, while avoiding a bunch of headaches.

  1. Finding a romantic partner is just one of many goals you can have all at once. There is a difference between something being a priority and something being an obsession. No one wants to be the Captain Ahab of the dating world.
  2. If you like a guy and mutual friends have multiple stories about him projectile vomiting after excessive drinking, you may need to rethink the attraction. You didn’t like it when your son hurled on you, and he was a toddler. And then there’s that whole sympathy retching thing, too.
  3. Dating is not about getting someone to think you’re good enough for them. It’s about finding someone who is good enough for you and deserves your time. It’s about finding someone you want to spend a ridiculous amount of time with. It’s about finding the puzzle piece that fits with you – the Ernie to your Bert.
  4. Work on your gaydar. It will make your life much easier.
  5. There’s a difference between annoying habits and behaviors that indicate a complete lack of respect. If you wouldn’t let your friend’s sweetie talk to her that way, don’t put up with it yourself.
  6. If you’re bored at the local bar on Saturday night, you’re probably not going to meet anyone there who will liven up your evening. Instead of downing an extra cocktail to numb yourself, think of somewhere else to go next weekend that you might actually enjoy. If your friends don’t want to go with you, go anyway.
  7. Stop worrying about men rejecting you for being too successful, too secure, too short, too whatever. It’s entirely possible that you would’ve had to reject them anyway for never having seen Star Wars (or whatever your essential piece of pop culture may be). People who simply are “not the right fit” exist. The sooner you weed them out of your life, the better, and the happier you’ll be.
  8. Go to the park by yourself. The same goes for museums, movies and concerts. It’s liberating to not be part of a couple, and free to follow your every whim. Being unattached means not having to compromise on your plans.
  9. A first date is not an audition for marriage. It’s simply a tryout for another date. Don’t put too much stock in the first date. No one ever fell in love by analyzing every detail of their first meeting.
  10. If a man says that he’s too damaged for you (or too neurotic, or too anything), just take his word for it. You’re not looking for a fixer upper. And it’s likely his way of saying he’s just not feeling it.

Alone time can be a wonderful thing. Don’t rush into anything. Cowboys 4 Angels is here to provide you with the perfect companion whenever you need one until you are ready to wade back into the relationship pool. In the meantime, kick up your heels and enjoy!
