Check out the 10 traits below and see if they apply to you!

#1 God of relationship advice

Your friends all go to you for relationship advice even though you barely dated your entire life. But somehow, your advice always work out since you are always on a neutral ground.

#2 Zero interest in the person you like

You may be dying inside crushing on that particular person but when you see him/her in real life, you just shy away and appear aloof. You just don't know how to approach them!

#3 Quite pretty/handsome

You are usually not that bad-looking yourself and it boggles people's minds as to why you are still single.

#4 Homebody

You rather stay home and can stay home all day, all week, if you could. Besides, nothing is more comfortable than nua-ing in bed in your PJs!

#5 Single for the longest time ever

You may be motae solo (solo since birth) or had a puppy love so long ago that you've totally forgotten how to date. And you're happier single anyway! Just a little jealous when you see couples around.

#6 Time and money is of the essence

Time and money is so precious to you and dating takes up a whole lot of time and a whole lot of money as well ? You would very much rather devote the time and money on "improving yourself" or "treating yourself" (but actually you are just finding reasons to splurge on something)

#7 People say that your standards are high

Somehow, word goes out that you have super high standards for your partner but you actually don't really know what kind of boyfriend or girlfriend you want. You don't think your standards are high but then again, your only experience with dating first hand is through the dramas you watch.

#8 You hate it when someone tries to introduce another person to you

Even though you always whine how you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you put into zero effort in finding one and you find it awkward and embarrassing when someone tries to introduce a potential partner to you.

#9 You hate to listen to advice on how to date

You hate it when people give you advice on how you can start dating. Yes, you know how to go about doing it but you just can't bring yourself to action because you are either too lazy or too scared or maybe, it goes both ways.

#10 You get tired of communicating with others

You can be on your phone all day but you won't reply to messages or phone calls because texting is just too leceh and you enjoy your time alone.

Are these traits spot on for you? Share this post with a perpetual single friend who can relate.
