Single and Fabulous On Valentine’s Day! Celebrate your Singleness this Valentine's Day! | Valentine’s Day is almost here, and that often brings about the common moans and groans from those of us who are single. Of course, there’s also the occasional “who cares...” and “I hate Valentine’s Day.” That’s why we at DivaVillage.com loved reading “Even God Is Single, So Stop Giving Me A Hard Time” by Karen Salmansohn. It helped us realize, so what if Valentine’s Day is around the corner? We are single and fabulous, which is more than those people in a relationship can say! |
| Karen reminds us “You’re not half of a person just because you’re not half of a couple” (she’s so right!). We know it’s annoying when people look at you and ask “why are you single?” or “why aren’t you married?” But you smile politely and think, “Gee, I don’t know!” As annoying as these questions can be, Karen give us 26 snappy comebacks to help us respond to these questions, and help us remember not to be ashamed, because being single’s not so bad! | | Here are some of our favorite comebacks: | -
There are plenty of cool single role models: Catwoman, Buddha, Wonder Woman, pretty much every superhero, and the ultimate superhero – God! -
Single people have cool vocabulary for their relationship status, such as “singled out,” “hit single,” “saving the best for last,” and “one of a kind.” -
Marriage used to represent a financial necessity for a woman, but now we are independent and can make money, influence others, have our own identity, our own status and stability! - Each one (not “thee” one but “a” one) we meet makes us wiser, more honest, more soulful, and more communicative – so we’re learning by being single, and we’re better for it!

| So the next time someone asks the dreaded question, “why are you single?” or “why aren’t you married?”, be confident and give them one of the reasons above. Because there’s no shame in being single, especially during Valentine’s Day! Take the day to celebrate yourself and what a strong, confident, and fabulous woman you are. Pick up Karen Salmansohn's book, “Even God Is Single, So Stop Giving Me A Hard Time”, for more comebacks to the commonly asked question that single people love to hear! | For more from Karen Salmansohn, visit www.notsalmon.com - check out her newsletters and love tips!
