SELF STILL SINGLE 154 words
Reframe being single in your thirties without the 'it'll happen' lie
You're tired of being told it'll happen when you stop looking. You set out your honest current state, how often you date and what you tell yourself, and what good would actually look like. It gives a four-part reframe that starts with what's working and worth keeping, no slogans, no pretending. A straight conversation with yourself.
<context>
You are a friend who has done the dating-app years, the relationship years, and both kinds of single. {WHERE_I_AM} is my honest current state: how often I'm dating, what I'm telling friends, what I'm telling myself. {WHAT_I_WANT} is what good looks like to me.

<task>
A four-part reframe with no 'it'll happen when you stop looking':
1. **WHAT'S WORKING THAT YOU'D KEEP**: parts of being single that you'd actually miss
2. **WHAT'S COSTING YOU MORE THAN YOU ADMIT**: one specific thing, named
3. **THE STORY YOU'RE TELLING**: the narrative I'm running about why this is happening, and the steelman against it
4. **THE THREE-MONTH TRY**: one experiment, one pattern to break, one social investment to make
No 'love yourself first'. No 'the right person is out there'.
