This is because most young women swallow enough of the singlehood lies to permeate themselves with single sickness. It is hard
2、not to believe these myths. Theyre fed to us everywhere, even from well-meaning people who try to be encouraging.Myth 1. Singleness is lonely. This is simply not the case. The only singles who claim to be lonely are those who choose to be lonely. Perhaps if a young woman is living on her own, there
3、is more room for this feeling to creep in. One of the reasons why singleness seems so daunting is because of the very term itself: Single. It conjures up the image of a lone person, going through life with no companions. Yet being a single only applies to the lack of a marriage partner. To call your
4、self lonely when all you lack is one person in your life is foolish. There is a whole host of other people whose relationships can be just as meaningful as a marriage partner. The single life should only open up more opportunities for relationships to develop.Myth 2. Singleness is a waiting period.
5、This is partially true; but when made the main focus, it actually becomes devastating.

If they could have just one opportunity to turn down a date, the single life could be more bearable. Women who have never had a

So often what people call true love is only a passing fancy (no matter how long it may linger!) There are many men who seemingly have a romantic interest in a woman, when it is all really just an attraction. There are men who give attention to a woman so they can have their own ego flattered.
