Not having a boyfriend for 5 years has been a bitter-sweet experience. I am sure I must have missed out on a lot but I have no regrets.

Here are 5 reasons why I would make the same choice again;

I have not found the right person yet 

For some reason, I attract the wrong people, from married men to men who text me ‘xaxa mresh’ to those who WhatsApp me ‘hae', needless to say, I do not respond. 

How hard is it for a guy to just call or ask you out in a mature conversation? I do not want to be in a relationship just for the sake of it.

Men want to feel like they are filling a gap in a woman’s life 

They want to feel wanted and such things. Well, sorry to disappoint you, I have no gap in my life and if there is one, my pride will not allow me to let in a man to fill it just to stroke his ego. So the past 5 years have been me taking care of myself and zero disappointments.

I do not entertain drama 

I do not like complex relationships and unnecessary drama and I am glad that I did not have to deal with this in the 5 years

I am too busy to read between the lines 

Please, guys, women are also not mind-readers, well I know I am not. So, those of you who have hit on me and expecting me to notice, if you didn’t get to the point in the first 10 minutes, I probably just assumed you are just a nice guy I met. 

It probably would have wasted my time 

I have achieved quite a lot at that time and being in love (from my experience) slows me down. This is because, when I love, I love for real and I give it my very best.
