Why Being Single Can Be One of the Best Times of Your Life
by Giulia M.
You have gotten out of a long-term relationship. We know, it sucks. You are wondering how long it will be before you find someone else who's really worth it. You might feel a little lost since you were used to being with someone. And you might be having a lot of mixed feelings: relief, pain, grief, excitement, disappointment, anger, and many more.
First Things First: Single Is Not a Problem to Fix
Let's start here real quickly. Because somehow, you might be convinced that being single means there's something wrong with you. In truth, being single can sometimes be a clear signal that you are actually way stronger than you think. It takes guts to choose yourself over superficial relationships. It takes effort to rebuild your life after you've been with someone for a long time. And it also takes maturity if you've never had a long-term relationship but you're still waiting for the right person because you don't want to settle for less. Being single is not a problem to fix. It's a great starting point to actually choose what you deserve.
Why Is Self-Love Important Before Anything Else?
A lot of people talk about self-love, but often it's nothing but fluff. What is it exactly? And why should you care? The problem is, if we are single but don't understand how to actually love ourselves first, the risk is that we keep falling into toxic patterns, dealing with immature people, and jumping from one situationship to another without understanding why. Self-love is self-respect. It means that you are not willing to compromise unless it's for a truly healthy, rewarding, aligned relationship.
How to Be Happy Single: Start Building a Life That Feels Like Yours
So hey, we're not going to lie. Sometimes being single can be a little lonely. It's not right, it's not wrong; that's just life. There is something good and something bad in everything, and seeing both sides of the coin is a skill that is key to true happiness. Being single doesn't have to be sad, depressing, frustrating, or anything negative at all. On the contrary, you should definitely use the time you have without a partner to figure out who you want to be, what your vision for the future looks like, and most importantly, what kind of relationship would really make you feel blessed and fulfilled.
Do Things Because You Want To, Not Because You’re Waiting for Someone
Then there's that key advice: “Just go to places your ideal partner would go to.” Well, yes and no. Anything that is far from your authentic self cannot get you closer to the vision you have for your future. Make a list of all the things you've always wanted to do but never did. Include the things you've always wanted to do with someone. And start ticking those boxes. Do the solo trip. Take yourself out to the movies. Book the fancy dinner. Watch the sunset with a bottle of wine. Surprise yourself. You cannot even imagine how empowering this can be.
Getting to Know Yourself Also Means Knowing What You Like
And there's more. Because while you're single, you can meet people and go on dates, even friendly ones, without expectations, just for the sake of figuring out what you like and don't like about people, men, women, and relationships. Often, we are so caught up in our daily lives that we don't even start asking ourselves: “What do I actually want?” “What does my ideal person look like?” “How would they treat me?” “What would they be like?” Be raw. Do not set limits for yourself. Just ask yourself: “If my ideal person existed, how would I describe them?”
Solo Play, New Fantasies, and SVAKOM Toys Worth Exploring
You might also be in a phase where you're perfectly good where you are. It's a good phase; we like it. Then being single can become the most exciting time to try something new in the bedroom, get to know yourself better, and explore things you've never tried before.
If you look at our shop today, there are definitely a couple of toys worth trying if you're looking for solo play. Klitty is a no-brainer if what you're looking for is a single toy that can give you hundreds of sensations. Licking, sucking, teasing, and vibrating—all of it in one with Klitty.
Looking for something more classic? Then a rabbit vibrator is definitely the kind of experience every woman should try at least once in her life. Cici+2 is our sweetest option if you're ready to take yourself to the edge, over and over again. With both G-spot and clitoral stimulation, Cici+2 is the perfect choice to truly get to know yourself, explore the different ways you can climax, and understand which modes, rhythms, intensities, and speeds you like the most.
And Yes, You Can Still Date
But hey, although being single isn't a bad thing, that doesn't mean you cannot date a little. Some say you should take time to recover between long-term relationships, but generalizations don't work in real life. Of course, it's good to do the work: to process your emotions, realize what didn't go well, and understand what you can improve moving forward. However, being single is also a good opportunity for casual dating. Not in a random, unhealthy kind of way, but in an explorative one.
Casual Dating Without Losing Your Peace
Casual dating means going out with people without necessarily looking for a long-term relationship. Dating apps are a good tool if you wish to start from scratch and meet new people. Our only suggestion is: don't take it too seriously. Don't take it personally. Use dating apps as a way to connect with strangers and go out for a coffee—no expectations on the table. No one's judgment is a reflection of who you are.
The truth is, out there you will find all sorts of people. Some will be great; others won't. The only way to go on casual dates without losing your peace of mind is to drop expectations, be yourself, keep your boundaries, and step away whenever something doesn't feel comfortable. Do it so you'll have a nice story to tell. Always meet in public places: go for a drink, have breakfast, or take a walk in the park. Keep it safe, and if your gut instinct says no, follow it.
The Real Flex Is Knowing You’ll Be Fine Either Way
In the end, you can make your single era one of the best times of your life if you approach it as a period when you can truly find yourself, step away from any expectations set by anyone else, and rebuild a vision for your future self. Just know you will be fine either way. Whether it takes you a year to reach that vision or a couple, you will get there if you keep working on yourself, staying true to who you are while acknowledging that no one is perfect.
This may or may not be the last time in your life when you are single. Use it wisely. Have fun. And don't spend too much time overthinking it.

Thinking about sexting? You’re in the right place. We know, sending spicy messages can be even scarier than flirting face to face.
