3. Ditto for all food.

4. This is your greatest source of confusion:

5. And you've gotten a bit crappy at keeping in touch.

6. Your well-meaning friends often ask if you're swinging the other* way now.

7. And it's crossed your own mind a few times, too.

8. You're tempted to enter a relationship just so people will stop saying this god awful phrase to you:

9. You share an emotional connection with at least one pillow.

10. Everyone you know constantly has "the perfect person" they want to set you up with.

11. Spoiler alert: They're ALL wrong!

12. On the plus side, you're now a veritable expert at first dates.

15. You've internalized a general dread around holidays.

16. And you've developed a genuine allergy to PDA.

17. You want to share your wisdom with young lovers and are often accused of killing their vibe.

Best of luck explaining why you’re still single at Thanksgiving and #CharlesManson isn’t.

I'm single and Charles Manson isn't.

So world famous serial killer Charles Manson got married today and here I am, ridin' shotgun on the single bus. 😒

It's always reassuring to know Charles Manson is engaged and I'm still single :/
