Everyone without a significant other is single.

March 9, 2006 by The Tattoed Debutante

Everyone without a significant other is single. Those who thrive without a partner are considered “fabulously single.” I’m here to provide you with the tools to be fabulously single and fabulously happy that way.

1. Own a credit card. It is essential that you feel like the hottest woman in the room at all times. I, personally, developed a bit of a shopping habit. I mean, who else are you going to spend your money on if not yourself? Buy that sexy dress to wear downtown. Splurge on the shoes that make your feet look like pure sex. If you know you look you, you’ll feel good, which will make you look even better.
2. Have an awesome DVD collection. I go out all the time, but every now and then I just need Debutante Time. I have the complete Roger’s and Hammerstein collection on DVD, as well as Sex and the City and Grey’s Anatomy. Couple that with all my fantastic indie flicks, and I am never bored or lonely on my couch. Me time is like a night at Radio City Music Hall, minus tacky people or crying children.
3. Own lots of pretty, scented baths, oils, and lotions. I like to have “Spa Days” where I do nothing but pamper myself. I take a long bath in lavender and vanilla, slather myself in body lotion, wrap myself in a white terry robe straight out of the dryer, and drink white wine in bed. I couple that with painting my toes and taking at least an hour to dry my hair. There’s nothing as nice as being nice to yourself.
4. Have some fabulous single friends. I have a couple of amazing girl friends who are always up for a night out. These are the girls I can call upon to help me partake in a night of debauchery and man hunting. They love dressing to the nines, flirting their fabulous assess off, and staying out till the sun comes up. These are the girls that remind me of why I love being single. It is imperative that you keep these girls close by.
5. Have some fabulous married friends. These friends can encourage you when you feel like there’s no one for you. They can counsel you through any semi-relationships you enter into. Most importantly, they will envy your freedom out loud. You will watch them check with each other before doing things and thank heavens that you don’t have to do that. Your girlfriend will cry about her mother-in-law, and you’ll think how happy you are that your own mother is all you have to deal with. But in the end, they will give you hope that a happy marriage can be waiting, if and when you are ready.
6. Have a flexible schedule. When you make plans, keep them tentative. One of the best things about being fabulously single is that people will always want you around. You will be invited places that the couples and married’s will never be. If you get invited on a ski trip less than a week before you’re set to leave, you don’t have to change anything or reschedule anything. You simply pack up and take off. Have 3 or 4 options on a weekend so that if something falls through or if one of your events is a bust, you’re never lack for entertainment. And if the first event is so great that you decide to stay all night, you haven’t committed yourself elsewhere.
