Freshly single? You may look at your married or happily attached friends with envy, but don't forget—now is an exciting, fantastic time in your life. "Singlehood." You can have a new relationship. Or, you can meet new people and follow your passions!

This is a great time to find out who you are, what you are capable of and what you want out of a new romance. You may learn you're more confident in speaking with potential partners than you thought you were. You may also learn that you're a pretty cool person with a great personality and a loyal heart. At the same time, you'll definitely discover what you don't want in a partner. Maybe you don't want to be babied or take the back seat to some man's career.

Take the time to think about what you have to offer in a new relationship. At the same time, be clear about what you need from a potential partner. Figuring this out now will help you communicate your needs throughout the dating process and help you decide who gets the green light and who doesn't.

And we guarantee if you do it right, those happily attached friends of yours will look on you with envy.
