Single Folks Confess Which Types Of People They'll Never Date Again

Though they might not always be easy to notice, being single has numerous advantages.

Primarily, that you are never beholden to anyone, and can live your life exactly as you so choose.

Of course, for some people, there is the cold comfort that being single means that you are out of a bad relationship.

However difficult ending that relationship may have been, returning to single life afterwards also allows you to re-evaluate what you want, or even what you deserve, in a partner.

Giving you the foundation to avoid some past mistakes.


Redditor Mega-Pimp was curious to hear from recently, or not-so recently, single folk the type of person they now know to avoid when searching for a partner, leading them to ask:
"What's one 'type' you'll never date again?"

It's easy for people who have been single for a long time to run into the arms of the first person they can.

Though before doing so, it's always good to reflect on any past relationships and why they didn't work out.

Because when push comes to shove, being single is infinitely better than being in a relationship with someone who doesn't make you completely happy.

There's nothing quite like the drama that can arise at a wedding or in the days leading up to it.

But the moment people don't necessarily think about is the moment when the audience can choose to object if they so choose, and surprisingly, some people take advantage of this opportunity. It often doesn't go well.

Financially speaking, most of us could benefit greatly from having extra money each month.

But where someone might assume that the extra money would just be wasted, most people would apply these funds to very practical purposes and expenditures.

When love is on the rocks and there's no salvaging a relationship, it's better for a couple to call it splits.

Sometimes the reason for a breakup is obvious.

Other times, it's more complicated.

But the people involved going their separate ways is better than staying in an unhealthy relationship.

Everyone looks back on their high school experience differently.

Some wish they could relive it all over again, while others are more than happy to put it all behind them and seldom, if ever, look back on it.

Of course, no matter if they look back on high school with pleasure or disdain, everyone has a few memories of their classmates.

Particularly the one who always seemed to be getting into trouble.

Constantly landing themselves in detention and, in more severe cases, landing themself in trouble with the authorities.

Some of these students thankfully grew out of their bullying days and have grown and learned to treat others with respect and kindness. Others were not so lucky, and still found themselves getting into trouble long after their school days were over.
