1. Pursue your interests. You have a lot of free time on your hands. Why not take this time to further chase those things that have caught your attention?
2. Learn something new. Take this time out to go out and educate yourself on something new. It can help make a better you.
3. Find yourself. Take this time out to discover more about who you are as a person. You may just discover something new about you and that your type is not what you want.
4. Be picky. Don’t fall too fast. Don’t be so eager to jump back into the dating scene. Carefully examine who you date. Find a deeper connection than just an initial spark.
5. Actively meet new people. Try to make new connections because it is so easy to isolate ourselves and feel sad. Try a dating site and it’s not about finding someone. It is about being social. Go out of the way and talk to strangers.
6. Travel alone. It is fun to travel with friends but traveling alone allows you to get maximum fun out of a trip. You get to do all of the things you want to do and not what everyone else wants to do.
7. Spend time with a couple. See what they do well. See how they interact with each other. Often we romanticize relationships that look perfect but if we examine a little closer, we may just discover things are not what they seem.
8. Learn to do things alone. Being single means sometimes being alone. Being alone is not always bad. You will learn how to be independent by doing some things alone.
9. Go out with friends. Do not stay in the house or cooped up with work all the time. It is okay to have a night on the town.
10. Make sure to treat yourself every once in a while. It is okay to spoil yourself every now and again. After all you deserve it.
11. Accomplish your goals. Go after those things that mean something to you. Set them and accomplish them. It is a great way to occupy your time.
12. Catch up with some old friends. Sometimes we get so caught up in relationships that we often forget about our friends. Reconnect with your old friends. Re-establish that connection.
13. Spend more time with family. Being in a relationship can take up a lot of your time. Spend this time with your family so that they have your undivided attention.
14. Flirt more. There is no shame in flirting with someone. It may lead somewhere or it is just good getting back into the game.
15. Enjoy being single. Single status does not define you. You define it. It is a fun time in life to do more. So make the most of it.
