Dear Harry Styles: Please Stay Single, Because You’re the

Dearest Harry Styles: Please forgive our selfishness in this open letter, because truth be told, as much as we want you to be happy, we really want you to find that happiness without a significant other right now. Hear us out.

Directioners are experiencing a tough time. Aside from the fact that One Direction is on hiatus, it seems as though all of your band members have decided to enter cuffing season a lot earlier than usual.

Along with taking on the new duty of daddy, Louis Tomlinson is also finding love with Danielle Campbell. Liam Payne decided to take his relationship with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to the next level by getting a new puppy. Niall Horan is on cloud nine and flaunting PDA with his new lady Celine Helene Vandycke.

And yes, Zayn Malik isn’t technically part of the group anymore, but for all intents and purposes, we’re going to include him in this roundup. And we all know that he is in his own world with supermodel Gigi Hadid.

Then there is you. Sweet, beautiful, you. We’ve seen you in various relationships in the past, but now you are really blossoming into your own—a movie and a solo album? You go, Harry Styles.

So really, perhaps this is a pivotal stage for you, and maybe this is the best time to really focus on yourself with no distractions.

We’re not saying this because we want to be able to daydream of you without having to see headlines of you with another girl—oh wait, yes we are. But still, the underlying message still holds true.

We already lost your long locks, we just don’t want to lose you, too.

If not for your personal growth, do it for the Directioners, and stay single forever for a while, please.

(But, if you are looking for someone, baby, we’re perfect for you.)
