When you’re single there are a few different stages that you go through. Sometimes you feel great and other times you want to blame every person you have ever met. These are just some of the phases that people go through when dealing with singledom. Some of these may be in your head (actually probably most of them are) but we are here to let you know that there are others out there that feel the same. Let us know if you know of any more!

Have you ever been in one of those encounters that has just been so incredibly awkward and made you so uncomfortable you wish you could disappear on the spot? Me too. Regularly. But I felt this latest one was particularly worth sharing because it involves work, trivia and embarrassment.

And if someone made that point to me, I’d stab them in the face.
So what we’ve got here is a list. A list of the women you’re most likely to meet in a romance novel. So scroll on down and take a look, and remember: it’s ok to hate them all. We do.
