Stay single johnniey as life is so much simpler. You find you have more money to spend on yourself. You can make plans to do what you want without having to consider another persons needs. No PMT situations to deal with each month. No arguments followed by long silences. You want someone who is pleased to see you when you get home? Get a dog. They don't care if you come in late after a heavy session down the pub. A dog will settle for a pat on the head and a dog biscuit and will not expect you to buy the latest kitchen gadget or buy them a new frock. Single, sane and solvent is the way to go.
