The Last Single Girl Standing

All your friends coupled up? There’s no need to despair. As Morgan Reardon finds out, riding solo is actually a really good thing

- Morgan Reardon

You survived the holidays and the questions from Aunty Cheryl about when you’re going to ‘finally settle down and find a nice man’. You made it through New Year’s Eve when the only person to kiss at midnight was your four-year-old nephew. And you even survived the onslaught of holiday engagement posts on your social media feeds.

Now, just when you thought the world was maybe going to give you a break, you’re faced with February. A month of warm weather, sunset drinks, cute playsuits and… oh yeah, Valentine’s Day. That’s right, an international day dedicated to celebrating those people who have a significant other and the power to make the very consciously uncoupled feel a little less fabulous and very much alone.

But before you order everything UberEATS has to offer, down a bottle (or three) of prosecco and watch reruns of The Notebook – stop, because I’m here to remind you why living a life sans partner is actually pretty f*cking great.
