I found this article that I thought would be interesting to share: 36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do Before She Settles Down
36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do Before She Settles Down - Love + Sex on Shine

Although, I haven't done all of these things "alone" I certainly can appreciate some of the things that you can do to make you a more confident, attractive date. I think people who are more confident in themselves, are more attractive to others. Although I've taken out my own trash, and didn't feel some great feeling of independence or anything... going to the movies by myself, actually did put a smile on my face. The first time I had done that in almost 20 years, after swearing that I would never do it again (first time was a disaster!).

Here are my favorites!

1. Go to a movie alone.
3. Try surfing, water-skiing, or some activity you don’t already know how to do. Could be riding a bicycle.
4. Take out the trash...
5. Live alone...
8. Quit your job...
14. Go on a date with someone who actually makes you nervous.
15. Go out with an older man who takes you somewhere nice and makes you feel like a million bucks.
16. Go out with a guy who makes you laugh ‘til it hurts.
17. Be a good wingwoman. It’s not always about you.
18. Chill with your widowed and single grandma...
22. Date the creeps. You’ll really value the nice guys afterward.
23. Buy yourself some flowers.
25. Sit at a bar by yourself and drink a martini. Cool.
26. Buy something frivolous and expensive that you LOVE wearing.
29. Make a list of all your faults.
31. Get some hobbies...
36. Host a girls-only night...

I found one for the guys!

The 1 thing Every Single Guy Must Do Before He Settles Down

1. Find a woman who doesn't need a list!


Just kidding Jussmile..

Even I have a list of things I would like to accomplish before I settle down, and I'm, working on it, although most of them would be even more fun with an S.O

I was thinking that it would be a girl that does not read Shine

Fun; I haven't 'done' 6 or 18; and am too still working on #30, although I can't at all see the correlation between this list and more men wanting to date me.

Fun list-done them all. I also think a single woman should take a vacation in a foreign country alone before she settles down to coupledom. It does wonders for self esteem to muddle thru customs in a different unfamiliar language on your own, to get a cab to a hotel and learn how to keep yourself active and interested and not down because you are alone.

I started going to movies alone when I was 8. In fact, when I started dating it annoyed me to go to movies with a date because they wanted to talk.

May everyone find the courage to do the things they really want to do in their lives, without regard for social conventions or concern about what others think.

I've done most of those. Sure as heck not going to do #8 in this economic climate, though!

I'm thinking the basic point is "have a life of your own and be comfortable with yourself"?
