Living Happily as a Single Lady

Too many single ladies spend their time wanting to be in a relationship only to keep picking the wrong men! Instead of endless online dating and looking for single men everywhere you are, embrace being a single lady.

This page is in celebration of the single ladies and how they can learn to enjoy their lives in spite of being single!

If you really want to meet someone and make it work, there are also plenty of tips on how to find that perfect relationship for you!

If your life isn't just about you and you have a child, there are also tips on how to navigate the world as a single lady who is a mom.

Embracing YOU!

A single lady who is happy will attract more happiness. If you are listening to your biological clock or comparing your life to others, you are going to be miserable.

It is okay to be a single lady and you can live a happy life that way. Whether you are a single mom or have no responsibilities except to yourself, embrace who you are and live your life!

Too many women search for a man who will make them feel whole. Firstly, that is way too much pressure to put on another human being and a relationship. Make yourself feel whole by discovering who you are and who you are meant to be. Live your passions. Discover new things. Take this time in your life and explore the world. Further your education. Volunteer your time for a cause that means something to you. Live your life in spite of being a single lady.

Many relationships fail because of over-dependence upon each other. It is great to be needed or need someone but a relationship should compliment who you are- not be who you are.

Remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Go for it!

Single and Loving It

You need to love yourself before you should even think about looking to get involved in a relationship. The truth is that if you spend your life sad because you are single, you are wasting your time!

Here are some books that will encourage you to embrace your single life and love it.

Suddenly Single

Coping with Single Parenting

Maybe growing up all you ever wanted was to be a wife and mother. Yes, there are still some women who secretly think that is all that they need to feel happy in their lives. Being a mom is great but you are a woman first. You should be strong in who you are in order to raise your child to have a strong sense of self. Even if all you ever strived for was this picture-perfect role of being a wife/mommy and now your dreams have been shattered, your life needs to move on. Your perfect little life didn't go as planned. Time to cope with what your new reality is. Not everyone plans on being a single mom. Life doesn't always give us choices. When you find yourself suddenly single parenting, you can cope. You can rise above whatever caused you to become a single mom and raise a happy, well-adjusted child. You do not need to lose yourself in the process either.

You can be a great role model to your child by remembering that you are a woman first. Be a great mom by being all that you can be as a woman and your child will grow up to admire your strength.
Suddenly Single Parenting
Parenting is the hardest job that there is and when you have to go it alone, it can be frightening. Divorce means that you are now parenting solo and even if the baby daddy is involved, it is still an adjustment. If the father is not in the picture, the demands can be tougher. Here are tips on how to make the adjustment to single parenting.
Holiday Survival Guide for Divorced Parents
Single ladies who are still not over being single moms can have a hard time around the holidays. Sharing custody of your children with your ex can mean loneliness during the holidays. SIngle moms need to remember that children are not possessions and if they have a father, it is (usually) in their best interests to have a relationship with both of you. Here are tips for surviving joint custody as a single lady/mom.

The Second Time Around

Remarriage, Blended Families and Learning How to Love Again

One day it may happen. You will not be a single lady anymore. Remarriage and possibly even stepparenting may be a fact of life for you. There are a lot of adjustments when you go from being a single lady to a woman in a committed relationship. Getting married again after being divorced (or if this is your first trip down the aisle) means a whole new life.

Marry someone with children and you have new challenges as a stepmother. Blending families is another obstacle and real life is never like the Brady Bunch.
Making Remarriage Work
Getting married again means a second chance at happily ever after. This time you are a little older and hopefully wiser. Here are some tips on how to make remarriage work.
How to Be a StepParent
Marrying someone with a child (or children) and stepping into the role of a stepparent is difficult. Not only do you have to adjust to your new marriage but when that marriage is a package deal, you have many more challenges than just learning how to live with your new husband. Here are tips from someone who lived it.

    I don't mind, but the bearing of expenses by myself has been problematic. Still, I'm learning a lot about myself, and now have a better understanding of what I want from a life partner, and what I have to offer same!

    I'm no single and I'm not a woman, but this lens would be very helpful for my high school teacher who is until now single at the age of 55. This could inspire her.

How to Get Back Into the "Game"

When you are ready to get back into the dating game, there are rules you should follow.

Don't expect to find your Prince Charming; go into dating for the fun of it. When you are focused on finding a fantasy you will always wind up disappointed. If love is meant to happen- it will. It cannot be forced.

If you are truly ready to date, you won't feel desperate because you are strong, independent and not looking for someone else to validate your worth.
