Single, unmarried or divorced people are not treated well in our society. They are always looked at with suspicion as if they are desperate for a new relationship, which is not the right approach at all.

Being Single Doesn't Mean Available: In today's era, many misconceptions are nurtured regarding relationship status. Especially when a person is single, whether he is a bachelor, divorced or a widow/widower, the society often assumes that he is ready for a new relationship. But being single does not mean that the person is "available" or he is willing to get into any relationship. It is important to understand some important things before approaching or behaving with someone for a relationship.

Understand the case of Shikhar Dhawan

Recently, Shikhar Dhawan was seen sitting next to a foreign woman during a cricket match. The pictures related to this started going viral on social media. People started making ridiculous comments about the cricketer and that woman. It is true that Dhawan is divorced, but it is not right to look at him with suspicion every time. Why not let him live a normal life, and always refrain from judging him. 

How to deal with singles?

1. Single does not mean "alone"

Many people think that a person who is single must feel lonely and needs a partner. But this is not necessary. Many people happily prefer to stay alone. They are self-dependent and do not feel the need for a relationship. Approaching someone or making unnecessary comments just because they are single is a wrong thinking.

2. Do not consider a divorced person weak.

Divorce can be a difficult phase in someone's life, but it does not mean that he is immediately ready for a new relationship. A divorced person should first get time to prioritize his emotional and mental health. Expecting such a person to be immediately ready for a new relationship can be childish.

3. Do not consider a single person as "desperate"

Many times people assume that a person who is single will be desperate for marriage or relationship. But everyone has their own priorities. Some people want to focus on career, self-confidence or other things. If a person is single, it does not mean that he is looking for a relationship.

How to approach a single person?

If you like a single person and want to approach them, then it is important to adopt the right method. 

1. First make friends,

do not put pressure on anyone for a relationship immediately. First make friends and know what they think about the relationship.

2. Understand their emotions.

If someone doesn’t want a new relationship, respect their decision.

3. Do not be hasty.

Every person has his own time. Give them time to think and take decisions.
