You may remember that a few weeks ago I wrote about some of the things that were good about being single. Maybe I was subconsciously foreshadowing my own life, because after two months of dating someone I am now single. Again.

Truthfully, this was one of the easiest break-ups I’ve ever had. The weeks leading up to it weren’t so great, but the actual conversation — which lasted maybe 10 minutes — pretty much consisted of us agreeing on the reasons why it wasn’t working out.

Still, once the phone was hung up and everything was done, there were a few tears shed on my part. It was a combination of frustration and disappointment that a relationship I thought had some potential didn’t work out.

But even then, there’s always comfort in the fact that I’m one step closer to finding a relationship that will work out. And it’s kind of exciting to think about all the dating possibilities that are once again available to me. I no longer have to turn down dates with cute guys because “I’m seeing someone.”

And yes, I’m enjoying all of those perks of being single that I wrote about. It’s nice to have time to do my laundry and buy groceries and run all the errands I had been putting off. And I do get plenty of sleep now that I’m no longer staying up until 1:30 a.m. watching movies with the boy.

And all the stress of wondering when (or if) he’s going to call me has been eliminated from my life. It’s positively freeing.

Still, even though the adjustment to being single again has been an easy one, it’s still been an adjustment. It’s funny how easily I got used to having someone around, even though we only dated for two months. After being VERY single for almost two years, I thought being by myself would feel like second nature. Now there are times I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself with all the free time I have.

But I’m sure it will all come back to me fairly quickly. After all, I am quite experienced at being single.
