100 Excuses Single People Make To Feel Better About Being Single

Every once in a while, we all fall victim to the woes of singledom.

Nosy family members are constantly up our ass, asking us if we've met that "special someone yet."

OkCupid constantly bombards our email inbox with messages that ask us how long it's been since we've logged on.

It's sometimes hard to accept the reality of your singleness, especially when you see couples holding hands on the street, rom coms with happy endings and your best friend and third-grade classmate getting engaged on Facebook.

To make yourself feel better, you'll probably do a hell of a lot of rationalizing about why you're single just to shut friends, family members and even your own nagging brain up about it.

You may not necessarily believe all the excuses you tell yourself, but, hey, they're better than nothing, right? Right????
