What would you do with a do-over?

A good friend passed this article along from CNN.com:

5 things I'd do differently as single do-over

It's by a woman who has recently married but reflecting (20-20 hindsight style) on her former life as a single person.

She covers some of the basics like: get out of toxic relationships sooner, cry less, etc... But it got me thinking about my somewhat former life as a singleton and about what I would add to the list:

- Don't beat yourself up for the one-night stands, they are learning experiences. But try not to get so drunk the next time...
- Go out and dance more, have more confidence. You are one damn fine catch.
- Date more, try out men you wouldn't normally pick on first glance.
- Enjoy being alone. You can take yourself to the movies, to dinner, and to wherever just fine.
- Travel more, don't wait for the romantic trip of your dreams (also in the author's list).

But again, hindsight is always 20-20 and nostalgia adds a distinctly rosy tinge to most any situation. I hope though, should I become single again, that I will take this advice to heart. Who knows? The future is a lot harder to see.
