TOI: They are single n loving it- Shilpa

They are pretty, cute, spunky and arguably the most eligible spinsters in town, who can set your heart racing every time they appear on screen. While they have everything that makes for 'girl of your dreams', they also have one thing in common: they are single, and happily so! What makes for their mantra?

I am single and fabulous. I feel I'm a little too selfish to co-exist with someone in my space. I have slogged to make a career in acting during my early 20s while my friends were busy enjoying and partying. At the moment, I'm in the best phase of my life and enjoying it. I love my freedom and don't need a man to make me feel special. I don't want to put my energy in a relationship.

I'm single by choice and it's great not to be answerable to anyone. However, at times I feel miserable, especially when I see my couple friends coochie-coo. But then, my companion is my drink. I don't know if am ready to mingle at the moment. It'll happen when it has to happen.

Who said I am single? I'm dating my show! Being in a relationship requires time, which my daily soap doesn't leave me of any. The best part of being single is that you can dream about any guy in the world and feel happy about it without any guilt.

I love being single because it means no possessive boyfriends, lesser stress, responsibility and restrictions. However, it may lead to endless rumours of random link-ups. Still, I love my freedom and I'm not looking for any sort of commitment at the moment.

I'm single because I haven't found a guy who is worth me. The good part is you aren't answerable to anyone. Kabhi bhi nikal jao, boyfriend ko answer nahi dena hota hai. But, there are times when you desperately need someone who can pacify you when you are feeling low.

I haven't come across someone who can bowl me over! The fun part of being single is that your friends, who are in a relationship or engaged, end up pampering you. Knowing that you don't have anyone to take your care, they shower you will all their attention and time.

Rather than being with the wrong guy, I prefer to be single until I meet Mr Right. There are advantages to being single. Usually when you are in a relationship, the guy expects a lot of your time which can get a little annoying. Also, most Indian guys are very egoistic. So, you have to handle that part of them also. I'm not yet ready to mingle... maybe next year I'll be!
