Uncanny dates

Sadly ‘single’
Special occasions like Valentine’s Day
On every Valentine’s Day, do you feel that you could also get or give a rose to someone and plan a fancy date? Do you need to find ways to keep yourself busy or at home to avoid going out and seeing couples having a time of their life? Do you eagerly wait for Friendships’ Day to celebrate with friends?
When you need to list emergency details in a contact form
Do you ponder upon the thought of whose details to fill in when you have a contact form in front of you in office? At times, you may not want to put in details of your parents as you might be skeptical about what they know about you and your whereabouts.
When relatives remind of your age to get hitched
It is that time when you realize that you are single when your mother or other relatives ask you questions or pass statements like – ‘do you have someone or should we look for someone for you?’, ‘why don’t you register on matrimonial websites?’ and ‘by your age I was married with two children’.
Being the only single between your committed friends
When you are the only single in your entire circle and all your other friends are in relationships or married, their actions, gestures, and conversations often make you feel strangely single. On trips with your couple friends, when you get a single room and your friends get couple or queen size rooms, it definitely reminds you of your relationship status.
Watching romantic movies
Watching a romantic movie without a partner would make you realize that you are single from some of its scenes in which the co-stars make special attempts to make their lover happy. Some romantic songs also have lyrics that would want you to find someone special.
