National Singles Day

National Singles Day is celebrated on September 22, and opinions about this holiday vary. Some believe that love arrives when least expected, while others find comfort and confidence in being single. Regardless of your view, the holiday encourages singles to give love another chance and to remain open to new opportunities.

History

According to statistics from the US Census Bureau, the number of singles in America is increasing each year. This trend makes it easier for people seeking a partner to meet someone special. There are several days for singles on the calendar, such as Single Awareness Day on February 15. Similar holidays exist in China (November 11) and the UK (March 11). In the US, National Singles Day emphasizes that single people can be successful and happy.

Interesting Facts

  • The holiday encourages people to view being single as a positive experience rather than a negative status.
  • In some US states, you can file a lawsuit against someone who has “stolen” a spouse; this is called alienation of affection.
  • Statistics show that if one partner smokes, the probability of divorce is 75%.
  • In America, a divorce is recorded every minute.

How to Take Part

Embrace your single status. Clear out reminders of past relationships, such as contact information, photos, videos, and gifts. Focus on self-improvement: join a gym, attend social events, meet new people, and dedicate more time to your own interests. In the US, you can even “marry yourself” as a gesture of self-love and commitment.
