You may be single and live in Twin Falls if...

Single and Twin Falls...it's a topic frequently discussed with the other single gals I have met in Twin that are in a similar circumstance as myself. Basically...living in Twin Falls, away from family, and single is not meant for the faint of heart.  Some have asked what my dating/social life are like. Maybe this list will answer those questions. So here it is. You May be single and Live in Twin Falls if....


1. The only dance parties you have are with yourself in your room or car
2. The social event of the evening is going to the gym and/or grocery store
3. You go to a family ward because the singles ward is full of drama and is quite special
4. Everyone asks about your dating life...but you always have to explain that you can't remember the last time you went on a date or did anything social for that matter
5. You can walk around town or go shopping without getting ready for the day and when you actually get ready for the day people look at you like you're a glamour model
6. Beach hair is now your #1 hairstyle because requires minimal effort/work
7. You now have money to buy stuff and travel
8. You are the minority with a Master's degree (16% of Twin Falls has at least a Bachelor's degree), member of the LDS church, you have a job, don't do drugs and still have all your teeth
9. You drive to Utah frequently to get visit family and friends...you gotta get your socialness in somehow right?
10. You drive home to spend 24 hours with family during the Holiday and then drive right back so you can be to work the next morning
11. Family and friends are encouraging you to use dating websites
12. You are slowly becoming an introvert...pretty content with staying at home
13. You thank the Heavens for online shopping
14. The gluten free section at the grocery store only contains a handful of items requiring you to make everything from scratch in large quantities...which also means you eat the same meal for a week straight
15. Whenever you go out to eat you only have two decent options....Cafe Rio or Pho Taki (Indian/Vietnamese store...and by the looks of it you may be their only customer). Drawing the conclusion...that Idahoans have different taste buds and are missing out on some of the greatest things in life.
16. You use pinterest to stay up to date...you don't want to be 2 decades behind when it comes to fashion, economics, technology, and food.
17. You come up with activities and games you can do alone (i.e creating your own fair)
18. Every time you look at Facebook you wish you were in college again just so you could have a social life again
19. You enjoy long naps on Sunday afternoons to fill up your schedule
20. You enjoy how much fun married people assume you are having every weekend

  1. Kels. While I don't suffer from ALL of those (I am grateful to live in the "land of everything I could ever want to buy" here in Utah), I DO understand the "being single" ones, and all that comes with it!

  2. Hey now, careful with those sweeping generalizations about Idahoans.
