They're the ones who love to PDA just about anywhere and insist on sitting together in one chair at party when there's literally ten other more chairs.

3. Nobody will get jealous if you spend all your time lepak-ing with your friends

4. You can eat all the smelly food you want with no judgment!

Bring on the durian! Bring on the petai and all the garlic in the world!!!

5. You don't have to sit through awkward dinners with your partner's family...

There's so much awkward silence, you can cut the tension with a knife.

6. ...or worry about what to bring over when you visit them

Do you bring chocolates? Or flowers? Or some side dishes for dinner?

Ain't nobody got time for that. Get takeaway from a restaurant and pass it off as your own by packing it in your own tupperware. Save yourself the stress! Head on over to the SAYS coupon page for discounts when you use Foodpanda!

7. Why buy presents for them when you get gifts ALL FOR YOU!

Maybe you like to wear the same underwear two days in a row. Maybe you still eat food that fell on the floor. Who cares?

9. There's no need to worry about silly fights or relationship drama with your significant other

12. You don't have to blow all your money on overpriced things during Valentine’s Day...

13. ...or try getting an impossible reservation at a fancy restaurant you most probably won't even enjoy

15. Have a sudden whim to pack up and travel anywhere? Ain't nobody stopping you!
