8. You choose your own friends and parties to attend

This is one of the best things about single life, you are never forced to be friends with people you do not like. Relationships mean you have to be friends with your partners friends, you have to attend parties that they are invited to even if you do not feel like you fit in there and then there are those awkward double dates where you have to force conversation with a guy whom you have nothing in common with and would probably also wish to be somewhere else. As a single person, most of the company you keep is company you choose to keep.
