Why One-Sided Love is the Best Thing to Happen to You

So, you love a woman you know you're never going to get. You lucky man! You may feel terrible knowing that dating the girl you love is a far-fetched dream, but tell you what, it is far better than seeing the flipside. This Valentine's , we at The Day You Became Mine, celebrate one-sided love as the coolest form of the emotion ever. We hope you know how much other committed men are jealous of you. Don't believe us? Read on to know why being a one-sided lover is the best thing to happen to you.

You Save Time, Money And Effort

You don't need to buy gifts for anyone. No greeting cards on birthdays, no movie dates and no diamonds! Neither do you have the excessive pressure of planning mind blowing dates with her that she can later boast about in front of her BFFs.

You Don't Have To Meet Anybody's Expectations

You live life on your own terms. The toilet seat can stay up all its life. Nobody is going to complain if you do not call them every night before sleeping. You are never under the pressure to being the perfect boyfriend.

You Understand Love Better Than Anyone Else

You're sensitive because you've seen the difficult side of being in love. If you've been strong enough to sail through the hard times of trying to get it all together, you understand love far more maturely than any of the guys around. You're soon going to find a girl who loves you back and you're going to be the most awesome boyfriend ever.

You Have One Distraction Less

Relationships are messy and distracting, and mostly not in a good way. The reason why you've held your sanity and are succeeding the way you are is because you've saved yourself from the hassles of being in a relationship. Even though you may spend a lot of time thinking about the woman you love, you have a better chance to concentrate all your energy and time into becoming the man you've always aspired to be. And you know how women dig successful men.

You're Still Available

Falling in love is easy. Falling out of it, easier. You're single and very much open to newer options. In case you find a better woman, there is no stopping you from pursuing her, unlike your best buddy who is stuck with the girl he doesn't even love for at least some time ahead.

You're Allowed To Hook Up

You hold the liberty to hook up with any hot girl you meet without having to lie to a girlfriend. Do you understand how big a privilege that is? Most men would kill for this one benefit. You can be very much in love with one girl and in bed with a lot of others.

You Don't Get To Face A Nagging Girlfriend

No bickering, no nagging. You live a peaceful life, just the way every man desires to. You don't have to listen to a girl cribbing about how her nail got chipped, how she cannot find the perfect dress to wear and everything else.

You Don't Have To Face Fights

When you fall in love with a person, you notice all the good things in them. You should be glad you'd always be on that stage and never get to know of her annoying habits . You won't have frequent fights that spoil your day and you won't have to deal with break ups!

You Are The Most Desirable Man

Do you know what appeals to women the most? A man deeply in love. Because the world can see how much in love you are with a certain girl, you will always appear as the quintessential love to other women. You have the quality that most women hunt for in their men.

You Don't Have To Divide Your Time Between Your Friends And A Girlfriend

Do you know how difficult it is for most men to managed their friends and girlfriend's at the same time? You will never be the guy who loses touch with his friends because of a wicked girlfriend and your buddies already love you for it.

6 Things Singles shouldn’t do on Valentine’s Day

You can rave and boast about your single status all through the year, but if there's one day this status stinks more than a l skunk, it's Valentine's Day. Don't beat yourself up, it's only natural. In fact, this is also the day most get out there and try and do something different, which always translates into regrettable. But, once  Valentine's Day passes, that different thing you did may stink worse than being single on Valentine's Day.

The Day You Became Mine tells you about six things you shouldn't do on Valentine's Day.

1. Don't Take a Dating Risk

Most singles introspect about their single status on Valentine's Day - the why, how, what if. Introspection is good, pressure introspection isn't. Just because you're single now, doesn't mean that you'll be single all your life. A few friends are likely to suggest dating someone different. But, Valentine's Day is not a day to take a dating risk. You may have been shooting in the dark up to now, but it doesn't mean you go and do something different, and certainly not on Valentine's Day.

2. Don't Dial Your Ex

Dialling your ex on any day is a bad idea. But dialling her on Valentine's Day is one of the worst things you can do. She's an ex for a reason. Your single status may allow you a lot of liberties, but it certainly doesn't come with a time machine that invites you to a blast from the past. If you find the urge to punch in those digits, we'd rather you call the fire department instead.

3. Don't Get Drunk

This is situational. If you're hanging out with your group of friends, then go ahead, put a fish to shame. However, if you're sitting alone at a bar, or worse still, at home, do not get drunk. There's no telling what that drunkenness will spiral into and I'm sure you'd rather not know.

4. Don't Wait for Last Minute Plans

Okay, so it seems like the world of lovers have crawled out of the woodwork, but they shouldn't put you off from doing something with your friends. Make plans in advance and do something terrific. It's a day, it'll pass; you might as have fun while it passes.

5. Don't Waste the Evening

If you've made friends with gloom and decide to sleep the evening off, it's time to give yourself a good kick in the pants. No evening is worth wasting away, pondering, rueing and wondering why. Get up, get out and make the most of this evening.

6. Don't Ever Pity Your Status

You're single for a reason and that's because you haven't met someone worth your while. And while Valentine's Day may raise a few questions, never ever pity yourself or your status. As clichéd and as cheesy as this sounds, you'd rather wait for the right one than spend your evening with the wrong one.
