There’s a bit of conventional wisdom related to National Singles Day, September 27 that says, “A new love finds you when you least expect it; when you’ve stopped looking and you’re on the verge of giving up, that’s when it hits you like a ton of bricks.” We’d like to add, there should be no continuing to “scan” the groups at the places you go, all the while still telling yourself and the universe you don’t expect anything to happen. The point is actually farther from a future romance’s timing and closer to being okay with yourself. Come to think of it, “You’ve got to be alright alone,” is something Americans have also heard many, many times. It’s when you’re comfortable in your own skin that you exude the kind of confidence that attracts.
But don’t get us wrong. We don’t want to dissuade those who feel they’re ready to give love another chance (or that big first shot). According to the U.S. Census Bureau statistics, the number of single adults in our country is growing significantly, almost exponentially, from year to year. It’s not exactly “shooting fish in a barrel” these days, but should you, as an eligible single, decide it’s time, you’ll probably have multiple options to choose from.
In the meantime, take some space and some time and do some reflection. National Singles Day is a 24-hour period where it’s okay to be about “me, me, me,” because you’re doing some important work, fine-tuning who you know you are, who you thought you were before, and where it all fits in, in the grander scheme.
When you take your me-time, take it on Thursdays with the Joslyn Singles. They get together every Thursday at a different restaurant. You will meet new people and enjoy great company over a delicious meal. This is the perfect way to connect with fellow singles in a relaxed and social setting. Each outing is a chance to discover new restaurants, make new friends, and enjoy lively conversation with a welcoming group of like-minded individuals. Don’t stay home alone—step out, socialize, and create new memories with us!
