Welcome to the strange little pocket of time between Christmas and New Year. No one knows what day it is, every meal somehow involves leftover cookies, and we are all wearing the same cozy outfit we’ve had on since December 26th.

Our group chats are quiet. Our brains are floating. Our calendars are pretending to work.

And while everyone else is busy pretending they are going to become a brand new person on January 1st, we’re already thinking ahead to 2026. Not in a serious, vision board, change-your-whole-life way. More like… how do we make the single life in the new year extra fun, extra confident, and way more on our terms?

So here are three resolutions for anyone who plans to stay single, thrive, and enjoy every ridiculous minute of it.

Resolution 1: We romanticize our own lives first

In 2026, we stop waiting for someone else to make things exciting. We take ourselves out for good coffee, good drinks, and good nights out where we look great and feel better. We book the trip, buy the outfit, and post the photo because we like how we look in it.

If a relationship happens, great. If not, we are still having an excellent time.

Resolution 2: We stop entertaining situations that are confusing

If the vibe feels like a guessing game, we do not play. No more half-responses, no more “maybe we’ll hang out,” no more energy spent decoding messages that read like riddles.

In 2026, we choose people who text back, show up, and understand that we are the prize. Clarity is hot. Consistency is hotter.

Resolution 3: We say yes to fun, not pressure

Being single is not a problem to solve. It is a season to enjoy. We say yes to flirtation, to late nights with friends, to dates that are simply fun without turning them into life decisions.

We enjoy the moment, keep our boundaries, and remember that we get to decide what the story looks like.

This weird week between holidays is the perfect time to rest, recharge, and line up a few possibilities for the new year. Because the best part of being single is freedom, and freedom feels even better when there is someone cute to share a little chemistry with along the way.

If you are ready to make 2026 your year of fun dates, confident choices, and zero pressure connections, OBC is where the party starts.

Join OBC and step into the new year with options, confidence, and a whole lot of flirting. Single life: upgraded.
