Persuasive Essay
Being Single vs. Being in a relationship Have you ever been in a relationship? If not, you’re on the right track, but if you say yes to this question you would want to listen carefully because what I’m about to say is true. Being in a relationship may feel good for the person who is in it, but they don’t realize the demerits of the relationship. Trust me, I have been in one. I believe that when you are in a relationship, there are both pros and cons, but if you look at the long run, there is a big chance that the relationship will not last forever. Also, if you are in a relationship, lots of things has to be sacrificed, for example time and money, but only a few things are gained through the relationship. Relationships are may grow into marriage at an older age might be good for you, but relationships as a student will often bring heart breaks and depression. If you are single all the way, there is no need of heartbreaks and depression. Through this essay, I will show you that being single is better than being in a relationship. The first reason why being single is better than being in a relationship is because when you are in a relationship, you lose money. As a student there is a limited amount of money that a student receives every month. For example, I get 60,000 won a month but there are students that get less than I do. Normally, when you’re on a date, the guys tend to spend more money. A normal date course would be a movie and eating dinner. A movie for two would be 14,000 won, and dinner would cost about 20,000 for two. A normal date would cost more than 30,000 won. That is half my allowance. Some may say that the money is worth the use, but I say “are you going to be with that guy/girl forever?” If not, why invest? In addition to your date fees, in Korea, you have to take care of events such as 100th day, 1st anniversary, and birthdays. You cannot forget the couple rings.
