Thoughts That Every Single Person Has Had

The thing about being single is that you're not alone. You aren't the only one on the planet who doesn't have someone to call their own, so that's one thing you latch onto if you're feeling down.

Also, plenty of singles probably have the same thoughts as well. You can bet they've all thought about the same thing at least once. Here are some of the most common things single people think.

Is It Obvious I'm Single?

Whether it's obvious or not, when you go to the beach solo with your towel and tanning lotion isn't up for anyone to judge. Enjoy your time alone, and realize you aren't the only one.

You haven't found "The One," so you've succumbed to the inevitable thought. Perhaps, you are your own "one," and you don't need anyone else to share your world with anymore.

You've spent so much time with your cute pet and your best friends. You don't remember what it's like to be around the opposite sex, but you don't care as long as you have your dog.

Since you've been out of relationships for so long, you can't even imagine being responsible again. What about all the late nights, the risky text messages, and the hectic gym schedule?

Your cat is pretty much your diary now. There's nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing wrong with being single for so long. I just hope that your cat doesn't learn how to talk one day.

Forgetting how to flirt is one of the most unsatisfying feelings in the world. That's especially true if you haven't had any intimacy in a while. Throw on some Fresh Prince, and take notes from Mr. Smith.

Don't act as if you've never suspected your dentist or doctor was hitting on you. Sadly, you haven't felt anything real in some time, so you confuse customer service with getting hit on.

I get it, dating changes every season, and you've missed plenty of seasons. The scene can look daunting to the untrained eye, but don't sweat it too much. You aren't the only one who's afraid.

What does holding hands feel like? You've forgotten what sensation that brings to you, so you want to see if you can imitate it with your own hand. To each their own.

Dreaming about TV because all you do is watch television is okay. I mean, what else would you have dreams about: being in a relationship with someone who doesn't even want you?
