I think time for personal growth should be taken advantage of while single. More than the idea of having a partner, should be feeling emotionally mature and ready to start a relationship with someone.
Also, trying out new hobbies or doing volunteer work is a great way to spend your time while single. In those community spaces you might find someone special who already shares a common interest with you.
YES!!! I use it to rediscover who I am! It's always important before going into another relationship to know who you are as a person.
same. i agreed to go out with someone when i wasn't emotionally ready and didnt realize it, and it ended really messily.
Agreed! That's what I'm doing now
Agreed. That's a great mindset to have when single. I'm trying that out right now.
Estelle! I remember you from the Skype chat! You should definitely pop by again!
Currently in my second serious relationship and no, I'm not a guru/master in love but I have definitely had so many different point of views of love from Single (before relationship, 1st relationship, single (after relationship), 2nd relationship.
Single (before relationship): the crave of being wanted drives you nuts. Seeing others getting into relationships and seeing yourself getting rejected/not asked out makes you wonder if there's something wrong with you/if people don't understand you. This makes you to crave even more of the feeling of having someone to want you.
1st relationship (1st love): a very pure relationship that is filled with all the hopes and dreams and fantasies of love. You've finally felt what it's like to be wanted. You think that this person is "the one" and refuse to look at any of the flaws your significant other has. This fantasy may last for as short as 2 weeks or as long as a few years or extremely rarely cases, a whole life. You actually genuinely care about another person other than yourself and will give your all just to see them smile and be happy. You can't fathom what it's like to be without love and that you can't live without it.
Single (after relationship): Torn, beat down, devastated. What you couldn't imagine of not being in love turns into reality. You lost your one "true love" and think everything is over, but unfortunately life goes on. You still gotta stand strong and go to school/work (and it'll help distract you anyways). Everything and anything reminds you of him/her. Every time you go to a familiar place, you literally feel knives jabbing into your heart. It's like you're a punching bag and the whole world is using their full might to punch you. You feel like you can't love anyone more than you could the first time, but as time slowly passes, you realize you start to think about him/her less. You start to open up to the world although still rejecting everyone. You still think you can't fall in love anymore due to the battle scars that you got during the breakup. The scars will always be there, and the memories will never fade, but you'll slowly start to bury them deep down in your heart with more and more dirt piled on top of it. As time passes, you reflect on this pass relationship and think back of what went wrong, what you did wrong, what he/she did wrong. It's a stepping stone of finding yourself and knowing what to do to prepare for the next relationship.
TIP (if you're going through this stage): You had a life without him/her before, you can have a life without him/her after.
2nd relationship: No matter how hard you tried to convince yourself you won't fall in love again or you're not ready for a relationship, someone will slowly and suddenly break down your walls without you noticing it. At first you're timid and afraid, but once the walls are down, you open up to him/her. You still think of your first from time to time, after all, the scars are still there and the memories are still in your mind and heart but it's ok. Memories are what makes you you. You may talk about your ex from here and there, but as the relationship progresses, you slowly forget about your ex. Your ex becomes a bitter sweet memory that you don't feel the pain of recalling those memories. Your old memories soon get replaced with your new memories of your new boyfriend/girlfriend. You're happier and more cautious of what you do due to your previous relationship.
And that is my point of view in love so far. Still far more to learn from it and I'm pretty sure I'll have even more point of views if my boyfriend and I breakup (hopefully not).
I definitely relate to this I’m at the point where I’m single after having a first relationship. You’re right that those memories never fade away but I don’t look at those memories the same way I used to
I agree with this. I’m at the stage of being single after my first serious relationship. She ended it because she thought we had completely different views on love. I disagreed and furthermore didn’t understand how that mattered, not sure if I do now..
Beautifully said. I needed this. You really brightened up my day.
This is beautifully written, thanks
ryan higa & arden cho for a future lunch break?? is that possible? xD
Single life? I choose the Wong Fu for Life!
Taylor seems so wise and experienced, experienced being the key word, I'd be interested in his dating history ^^
the 'dings' with the nods? HILARIOUS. yas Chris 👍👍
Taylor was so cute with the nods 😁
"Yeah yeah yeah!" So much wisdom in this episode! I definitely have to agree that everyone should take advantage of their singleness to grow and develop, to figure out who they are and who they want to be. BUT this should not stop even when you are in a relationship. In fact, I think it is equally important to be protective of time to grow and develop yourself while in a relationship as it can be really easy to be consumed by the other person and all the happy fuzzy feelings.
Just focus on yourself/life instead, and if you happen to meet someone along the way...
(Btw Wes, your hair is on point)
single life for 22 years so far! honestly i decided a long time ago that what happens will happen. self love, self improvement, and building good relationships with friends and family are how i spend my single life :~)
1:17, JENN SPEAKING THE TRUTH ONCE AGAIN, RELATABLE AF
Jenn is damn pretty
I agree once I've been in relationships I appreciated being single more. I actually really enjoy being single and the feeling of being free and independent, just doing my own thing.
peace up a-town down. YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHyeah
Jennifer Le yeahhhhhh. I am starting my day with you on a thumbnail with wes. 😁😁😁
noooo, it should be Jen and Tay!!! =D
yeah
Wow Tay dropping all these wise words. Thanks man!
I'm Christian. So for me its a very good opportunity to get closer relationship with God, spending quality time w Him while I'm single.
Asya Isaeva totally agree
i've always enjoyed the "crush" part of being single, and the uncertainty and butterflies of having them....still (not so) patiently waiting for the crush part to finally pay off, of course. but yes, learning and knowing yourself as your own person is EXTREMELY important and at least in my lifetime of being single i know almost exactly who i am and i love who i am!
Being single is not bad at all. You have the freedom to do whatever you want. You have a lot of time for yourself. Remember that you're not alone because you have family and friends that make you happy.
Wong Fu relationship advice is the best. Love how it's honest and relatable.
I needed this advice a looong time ago. Thank you, Tay, for 8:36 I'm still that friend and it was hard to let my best friend go when I was always there for the heartbreak. But now she's in a good relationship and we're all good now. It really ISN'T worth getting upset and cynical over after all. 🤔
The Unknown Perspective *hugs*
There were so many things I loved about being single, and there are so many things I love about being married. I tell people to use enjoy where you are in life. If you are happy single I think you bring more to a relationship when you do find a partner.
Being single is good...until you fall in love. 2 people falling in love is the most beautiful and wonderful experience. It will "Phil" your heart with joy and happiness!
Omg yes!!! 😂
and then when you break up its a big void in your heart, its really hard to go the self love way after you experience love
Chicley Holmes - Love can be experienced in many ways...even after a break-up. When love finds you or you find love again, it will be even more ful"phil"ing! Have heart and don't play the "Fu." Take care and be well.
10:10 holy lol that rang right into my heart... I feel like I haven't changed or matured at all, but whenever I look back and think about my friends I can see how much they've grown... I used to feel down about it, but we all have our own journey, our own timeline. And perhaps I have changed too, I just didn't realize it.
Being single has been an adventure and I like adventures #singlelife #wongfuFAM
Whenever I see these Lunch Break series, I'm always amazed with the resistance you guys have with your food. coz I can't, I'll eat at least half of my food before I can think and even to discuss a topic 😂
so good. this message needs to be heard more, and love how you all speak genuinely and with conviction and optimistically
The only time being not single is not worth it is when you know a girl like Jenn
I actually really needed this... thanks guys.
And that whole series of yeahs with the sound edit killed me 😂
I've been in 2 long-term relationships. My ex took away from who I am, but my boyfriend now adds to who I am. I can focus on my own personal growth while being with him. When you find that, hold onto it!
PRO: You can eat as much as you want at a restaurant without being judged!!!
Azn Gurl unless your eating alone with an empty seat across your table at a buffet. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think it took me being single to realise that success isn't defined by being married or in a relationship. Sure that stuff is wonderful but I am just as successful and happy as my friends and family who are married and in long term relationships. That was a huge discovery for me.
Thank you guys! This made my day! Today I was sad over this topic but you guys helped me remember that I do need to take advantage to improve myself while I'm single.
I want to share my experience of partially having the single life while i was in a long distance relationship.
( A little bit of context: my past relationships were mostly in high school, so there was never a period of time where i don't see my boyfriend. My current relationship, of 4 years ✌🏻, i met him at my first job right after high school, and so the only thing that connects me and him is the workplace - no mutual friends except for the ones we made during work)
So, in the total of the 4 years, we were in a long distance relationship for 2 - he came back every summer. During the first year of the long distance, (and because of my past relationships) i felt lost, alone, and lonely. I honestly did not know what to do since he was gone (he went back to Canada for studies). How i spent my time was school, home, sleep, work and Skyping with him. That's how it went. I mean i hung out with friends, but i was usually feeling blue from missing him. It took me a year to adjust to the fact that we were in a long distance relationship.
Eventually, he came back for the summer, and summer ended too soon.
During the second year of the long distance, i've come to realise the appreciation of being by myself. I got to go out more and plan activity with friends - maintaining that friendship. I watched a movie by myself - it was a great experience. I did my hobbies without rush (nail art and calligraphy). I got to find out new things about me, and validating the things i already know. I grew in terms of being my own person - emotionally and mentally. I learned to be me for me.
What I'm trying to say is I'm kinda glad that i was in a long distance relationship, because it gave me a chance to have that partial single life, the chance to grow within my pace of things. I totally agree with the points in the discussion ☺️ Also, it helps when you're with the right person.
If you've made it this far: i appreciate your time and thank you!
Single life can also be about doing things for others. Joining a club or doing voluntary work.
single life 😜

Stephen Paul Sure thang :)
I love this video! A perk of being single is exploring what you love, and maybe one day, when that special person comes, you can share things that you enjoy with him or her like favorite restaurants, a dish you mastered, favorite books, movies, etc.
I love this lunch break topic. Thank you for making a video about it!🙂
this was exactly what I needed. Thanks Wong Fu!! ❤ Love your lunch breaks.
happy summer! you guys always make me laugh watching these lunch break videos haha 😂
ive been rewatching these kind of lunch breaks and i realize how i skipped so many important things. like i watched this 2 years ago but i realize how true is this just now. feel so sad. but still this is a good wise insightful words from you guys, thanks😭🥰👌
What a great topic! I've been single for awhile now, but only recently have I realized how much I actually enjoy it! I'm lucky to have a strong support system of platonic friends, and I really do value my alone time. I especially loved the point you made about using your single time as a period of personal growth. So very important! And you're right, it also prepares you to be an overall better, stronger, autonomous person when you eventually enter into your next relationship. I've been hearing a lot about attracting the right person after you have learned to love/respect/happily just be yourself. Other PROS of being single: You are free to flirt...with whomever! And even when there is no intention to start a romantic endeavor with said flirtee, it's just fun! And maybe even great practice for when you are ready to date again. When you're single, you don't have to feel guilty about flirting. Also, when you're single, you're free from the drama, or the emotional rollercoasters that sometimes come with relationships. So, there's my 2 pesos. Thank you for making this video. Always enjoy watching you guys!
i actually am truly happy to be single right now! it's really relaxing and i enjoy all the freedom and i like the way i am when i'm not in a relationship... because the more i care about someone, the more vulnerable i get and then i just hurt over every little dumb thing, or maybe it's cause i haven't been with the right guys but i always ended up being a mess and acting stupid, i hate how i get when a guy has the power to hurt me, it never turned out well
jenn was right a few years ago i saw all my friends being in relationships and really wanted to experience it and i did, i made good and bad experiences... and maybe last year i was just too lonely, i've been in a few "wrong" relationships, i made mistakes but it's alright cause i hope i learned from them... at least they taught me how happy i am once i'm not in a phase of getting over someone, i've actually always liked solitude and now i know i really don't NEED a partner to be happy... of course i'd like to find someone who'll fit me because ultimately i still haven't experienced being with the love of my life or whatever but for now i'm just content there are no obligations, no drama, no one to hurt me, no one to confine me (yeah i think i have some issues to work out here, maybe i'm just not a relationship person)
Being single is always better than being in a stagnant or destructive relationship. Don't be afraid to leave someone and be alone. Your goals and freedom are more important. Free flowing independence and assertiveness is veryyy attractive ;)
I forgot about this when Jen asked on Snapchat for lunch break recommendations but: "can you be friends with an ex?" would be good haha
I like walking at my own pace because people walk so dang slow sometimes. And I'm supposed to be the short, slow one. (5'3" of power, years of running, and the ability to weave through small openings in crowds)
For me the "Unofficial" Start of Summer is Memorial Day. I used to live in the "Real Upstate" N.Y. in the Foothills of the Adirondacks, in the Saratoga-Lake George Region. I use work at what is Now SixFlags The Great Escape. So the Start of the Summer Tourism Season for us and The Village of Lake George ("The Queen of American Lakes") One of NY's most popular Tourist Areas is Memorial Day. I had a few Summer Relationships during my time working there(Funny like mentioned in a previous Lunch Break I even used Cheesy Pick Up Lines. Lol). But I also used to be "That Guy" at one time in my life and know those feelings all to well.
I've been spending a lot of time on my own since I just got out of a relationship and this really helped me. A wong fu video never fails to make me smile :)
I actually love this episode! 💕 thank you! Much needed :)
I just got out of a two year long relationship about a month ago now, and i'm finally starting to accept what happened, and finally trying to move on. I spent all of last month being sad over what could have been, instead of seeing how I could take this time to really care for myself. I'm finally getting to that stage where I'm like, hey, being single isn't all that bad! This lunch break was something I think was really fitting for my stage in life right now. Thanks for doing what you do, wong fu!!
When lunch break notifications pop up, so you have to go get food and eat with them while you watch 😂😂😂😂 #wongfu4lyfe
Honestly agreed to every single word that was said during today's lunch break! Crazy how much I relate to this so much!!
I've been single since for like 3-4 yrs(highschool senior now) I don't like being single but listening to and watching all the BS everyone around me is dealing with I'm glad me and food have such a great relationship cuz Lord I'd fight somebody over some of the stuff I've heard about
I was definitely one of those who has always wanted to be in a relationship, and when I finally got into my first serious relationship... oh boy, it was so hard. I wasn't myself, and I stop trying to reach my dreams. Now that I'm single, I'm back to my workout and more interested in what I've been always wanting to to. It taught me a lot although it's so sad when you suddenly have to detached yourself from someone you wanted to grow with 😪
I too felt pressured back in high school to be in a relationship, so when i somewhat got into one it was when i realized that i didnt want to be in one anymore. Sadly it led to a fall-out for me and the boy (i considered him a close friend) but i know it was for the best. thanks for this wong fu; was really relatable :)
This video literally popped up in my recommended section 3 hours after I was having a tantrum about being sad and lonely. well done CZcams.
Travelling alone! So much fun omg. I can wake up whenever i want, eat whenever i want, linger as long as i want to take the perfect picture or shop however long i want
i just got out of my first relationship that lasted for 3 1/2 years and i can say that i feel so much better now rather than forcing myself into something that i dont really believe in.
there are times though when i kiss the feeling of being loved or cared for. i just miss the feelings but not the person
Single for 5 years and I love all the time I have for myself. Watching movie alone in an empty movie theater is the best! I can laugh and cry out loud.
SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY loved this lunch break episode! Struggle heaps with the gift of singleness - thank you so so much for this challenging yet helpful discussion on why singleness should be appreciated =) Keep up the awesome content Wong fu
Another plus is, you tend to grow your network more and not just because your looking for another someone but because you become more open minded to society and seek what other types on people and opportunities are out there.
i appreciate walking at my own pace bc it's actually a struggle since everyone is taller than me T__T
I love being single. As you guys said, more time to grow yourself. Use it as an advantage to prepare for the best things ahead. If you take time to develop yourself in every aspect of your life, you might find someone who is on the same level as you or better. If you want to have the person of your "dreams", then you gotta work hard to be that "dream" person for them as well!
Also, you don't have to wait until you're married to own a house or go on that dream vacation. You have every right to do so even when you're single and nobody should hold you back.
The society's perspective of singlehood needs to change so that people can stop finding love in meaningless sex or even date people they don't even truly love.
I agree! I'm really happy that I found that happy place in being prideful of being single.. when I am..x) . There are so many opportunities to take advantage of when you are. There's never a point where someone should be ashamed of being so! When working on yourself to improve thyself, you end up learning a lot and understanding what you like and don't like, what you're capable of doing, etc. Thus, if you do meet someone and get into a relationship, you'll be able to answer questions and solve problems easier knowing that you know what type of person you are and be able to integrate that knowledge for the relationship to go smoother and mature into something special and unbreakable.
This lunch breaks speaks to me on a spiritual level :p But it is true I found out more about myself while being single and for sometime I wasn't happy with who I was or how I looked, so I thought "How can I expect someone to love if I dont first love myself?" So I am doing everything in my power to reach a point where I can fully love myself and improve so that when the time comes for a relationship I will be ready and know that I am worth it.
Single pro: a quiet freaking apartment/house and being able to decorate the way u like.
I laughed so hard when there was a ding every time Wes and Taylor nodded, good job Chris! 😂
I've been through onesided relationships and as time went by with my exes when I was with them individually, I started wanting to watch anime/variety shows/dramas more. And also play video games... By myself since it irritated me how they didn't respect what I've made for me, us, and them. Like my last relationship, I just kept going with him since I thought taking care of him was a way to show I loved him. But like my other exes before him, they took care of their girl best friends more than me. As in they looked like couples and we together looked like siblings. Being single is not amazing but to do what I wanna do is nice.
I was legit saying "AMEN" to my computer screen and snapping my fingers through this whole video :D Totally agree with everything you guys said! Always better to be single and happy than in a relationship and miserable
I think I wanna be #singleby30 so I can have a dope house like Wes, go hiking and just live life to the fullest. and that got me thinking, Wes might be my role model.
this video reminded me of my last relationship. specifically when it ended.
I was talking to somebody who i thought was my friend - not sure why but she wanted to have lunch a lot (we both had significant others so it's not that reason) and when i told her that i had broken up with my ex, she told me that i needed to find somebody quick cuz i was getting old.
I mean wtf mang. i blocked her that afternoon. don't need that sort of negativity in your life
I've loved every single second of my my single life. I don't think I want a relationship. But then again I've never experienced it so I shouldn't hate it yet.
I have friends and I am fine with being single, but I still always feel lonely at times. Recently I've been trying to focus on improving my drawings and appreciating the small things in life. However I've stopped talking to my friends and I sort of realized that they never initiate the conversation or seem interested in getting to know me anymore. It feels weird, like we aren't even close friends. And its not that I'm unable to have a deep conversation with some of them, its just that we don't even talk or joke around about small little things online. We only talk when we make plans to see each other(these plans only happen like every 3 months + I'm in high school). And when we do hang out it feels like I'm left out unintentionally. I don't have a specific "best friend" but I have a close friend group with me being the odd one out. These friends that I hang out with are each others best friends, but I feel like I'm not. Maybe I'm just overthinking everything, because I know they're good people. I just can't help but feel lonely at times. And at those times I tell myself to go back and focus on getting to know myself more instead of feeling lonely and left out, but I keep ending up in this same dilemma.
I've been single for a while now & it has made me way more confident. I don't even think about if its weird to do things like traveling or eating in a restaurant by myself anymore, I just do it and enjoy it! I've learned not to rely on someone else to make me happy! :)
I love being able to do things for myself. It's sometimes hard to make an impulsive decision with someone else when taking in their considerations.
Been single for 7 years straight, so I had to watch. (Gets old) Didn't know there was going to be so much talk about walking. Walking ahead, walking at various speeds. -You guys are funny.
there is literally a wong fu short/turned GIF for everything
lmaoo the pace thing literally and figuratively was so funny
Best part of being single, enjoying your own company and learning to share that with others.
THANK U WONG FU. I am that friend now, thank you. I needed this video rn.
Being single has its perks and being in a relationship has its perks as well! Both are great, but they are different, and that's okay! I think that we should (and can) be happy in both scenarios. Learning and personal growth and personal happiness can be happening in a relationship and in singledom. I think too many people are not content with being single even though it's healthy and can be a great opportunity and time to just be you!
One thing that I realized after my boyfriend and I broke up is that it's way easier to make new friends and meet people when you are single. I have seriously come out of my shell so much and have really been enjoying people ever since the breakup and now I have new friendships that are so meaningful to me ^_^
Hey Wes idk if u remember but I think a while back you came to Boston to visit and you went to this place called Tea Do and I remember seeing your picture on their wall which was really cool lol!!! So, you guys should come and visit Boston it would amazing!!
this what I needed today. feel so much better! :) "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
I love Jen just brushing of Wes' comment about feeling lonely when watching something at 6:41 HAHAHAH (totally me tho, hi-5 Jen)
when ur a new grad nursing student and u see chris's vein just there, tbh i feel like we could start an iv on that vein hahahahahahah
not only that you can be with your friends ultimately while being single, but also that you get to spend more quality time with your family... because if you think about it, sometimes your significant other can pull you away from those things, especially after you move in with them ~ Even spending quality time with yourself like all of you guys said is a great pro to being single😊☺ #lovethesinglelife
Watching this in 2019. But THANK YOU, I needed this.
the random clips of old videos are always funny
decided to watch lunch break while i eat my chick fil a and see yall chose chick fil a too😎anyways i loved this lunch break so much i loved the self love message
Single life 😥
Single life 😊 after watching the video
You don't have to check in with someone to buy something like over $40, please enjoy this for me! #missfinancialfreedom
Jennnn you look so beautiful and glowy!! Where did you get your top? I love it! 😍
Single Life = Less drama!!
When everybody's going through drama but you're single and being a potato so nothing be happening to you :D!
why do i always find wong fu's new vids two hours after they posted, even with notifications ;-;
This made me both happy and sad at the same time because I'm happy I have the freedom to do whatever I want to do but I've never experienced a relationship so I feel kind of empty for some reason.
