"  We all know the oft-relayed dating axiom of &amp;quot;Once you stop looking for the right guy, you will totally find love.&amp;quot; (At least I used to hear this nugget from my smug engaged pals all the time...until I became one myself and can now attest that it&amp;#039;s totally true.)  But celebrities seem to be giving this old saying their own spin: &amp;quot;Once you put it out there that you&amp;#039;re okay with being alone, you will totally find love.&amp;quot;  In a recent interview with Wonderland magazine, our gal Taylor Swift revealed that if she never ever (ever) got together with another dude\u2014and just, you know, decided to &amp;quot;paint in a cottage by the ocean&amp;quot; by herself\u2014she&amp;#039;d actually be totally cool with that. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve kind of realized that I have no idea where I&amp;#039;m going to be next year, or in six months, or in two months. I mean, I know where I&amp;#039;ll be on tour in two months, but no idea where I&amp;#039;m going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I just have no idea and I&amp;#039;m kind of into that. You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that&amp;#039;s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.&amp;quot; Let it stand for the record that Tay is far to young to be even contemplating whether or not she&amp;#039;s going to ever find true love (though, full disclosure, when I was 23, I was pretty sure I would die alone).  But Taylor isn&amp;#039;t the first single celeb to say she&amp;#039;s OWBA (our new shorthand for Okay with Being Alone). Before she was pregnant with mini Kimye, Kim Kardashian made a comment on her E! juggernaut about how she may never get married or have kids\u2014and could just be happy with being an aunt forever.  So, we can&amp;#039;t help but wonder, is this OWBA thing the hot new thing to say when you&amp;#039;re single? Certainly, this is a great response to naggy family members who want to know when you&amp;#039;re going to settle down already. And, when you&amp;#039;re OWBA, you don&amp;#039;t get those pitiful looks from your friends (or, better yet, your frenemies) coupled with comments about how they &amp;quot;worry about you&amp;quot; having to fly solo for this summer&amp;#039;s wedding circuit.  But, maybe there&amp;#039;s also some kind of unintentional reverse psychology going on with this OWBA declaration: Like, does accepting you&amp;#039;re awesome without a plus one make you more confident\u2014and thus, more attractive\u2014to dudes? If we know anything about guys, it&amp;#039;s that not needing them makes us look pretty damn irresistible in their eyes.  We wanna know what the single ladies out there think: Are you OWBA?
