So as someone who moved into a one-bedroom from a house and had to start dating I can promise you it's not that bad! I've actually loved having a smaller space. I'm surrounded by the things I love, I get to decorate however I want and I get my space. I can clean or not, I get the entire bed, I can watch whatever I want, cook whatever I want. The smaller space actually helps me feel less lonely. Yea online dating is and can be a huge pain in the ass. But nothing says you have to date, or if you do want to date that you have to go online.
I am actually looking forward to sizing down. This house is too big for two people - it's just more space to fill with more furniture and more crap. Crap that is giving me a headache even thinking about packing or giving away/selling/throwing away. And it will be soooo much easier to keep a small space clean. Right now I'm the only one that cleans our house, and my husband is incredibly messy and hard on finishes.
I am also REALLY looking forward to girly-fying my bedroom, my sanctuary, my boudoir.
