At every wedding, party or dinner one attends, if one’s relatives are around, the proverbial question, ‘So, when are you going to get married?’ comes tumbling out. It is the question that has dogged single people — perhaps more than any other — ever since the invention of the prying mother. But now, tired of being marginalised and scrutinised by a wedded society, unattached individuals are throwing a cultural curveball. They’re announcing that they’re happy just as they are, while living and loving every single moment of it!
Being single has its pros and cons. While it’s great to get attention wherever you go and not carry the baggage of a relationship, when you come home, you feel a sense of loneliness. The small fights, making up and surprises are what makes anyone’s world go round. But your sense of freedom is restricted. So if you do fall in love, be prepared for the side effects.
So, are single people averse to the ties of a relationship? We think not. A person who enjoys being single, is not opposed to being in a relationship, but prefers not to date just for the sake of being attached.
More educated, economically self-sufficient, and socially independent than ever before, individuals can afford to be choosy. They can wait for a soulmate, and even turn down prospects in the process. Till then they find it perfectly swell to spend time hanging out with friends, and enjoying some quality alone time. As for the physical aspect of a relationship, well, we have progressed from being a city that sleeps early to one that sleeps alone or around, and that’s saying something!
