-Is there a right and wrong way to be single?

Having way too much experience when it comes to being single you would think that I would be an expert, and in some ways I am; I can tell you everything not to do if you want to attract the opposite sex. So I guess I am doing single hood injustice, which leads into my question; can someone be bad at being single? Are some people just better at being single then others, is there a way to do it gracefully or graceless? There are people out there who look better single; being single almost gives them a certain mystique. Then there are those of us who, no matter how they try, just can not seem to make single sexy. But which party in the politics of singleness is doing it the republican way?

I have this friend, Joshua, who gives single not only a good name, but an iconic status. It almost seems that the thrill of hunting and preying is better then having the actual relationship thing. Yet, if I were to see him snatched up I think I would be overwhelmingly happy for him. Although, after having perfected something so well, can one ever really give it up? Once you master basketball, you do not get contentment from baseball; Mr. Jordan proved this theory, and we thank him for it. It is possible that it all changes with time, maybe eventually Joshua will lose the adrenaline rush that comes with the hunt and live happily ever after. While he is still hunting though, he gives all single people a good look, because Lord knows confidence is no issue for the man. So maybe all us single folk can take a page from his romance novel of a life and learn that confidence should be had before the relationship is.

Then there are those single friends who simply lean back and expect the stork to being them a significant other. Now I must preface by saying I absolutely love this girl friend of mine, but she is a complete Democrat when it comes to relationships. She thinks that just sending out good thoughts will get her the man of her dreams. This drives me mad because she truly is the whole package, not for me because I know all her quirky faults, but nonetheless she has it going on. She just has this super-passive approach to dating. And now that the little dear is going to college soon enough, she needs to get some game. I try telling her that practice will make perfect, but she just will not go for it. Confidence plays a part into it, of this I am sure. She has everlasting hope though, so you must admire her for that though.

Can someone be bad at being single? Well singleness does have both its ups and downs, and they are the extremist of ups and the deepest of downs. As I see it though the only way someone could truly be bad at being single is if they are single and lack confidence. This is because; sexy runs for office, funny wins the election, but confidence takes the White House.
