"Oh, are you still single?"
This is becoming the most popular question that I've been asked lately for some really odd reason. Yes, my mother bought me a dating book on how to handle a bad boy. Yes, I've been single for about 8 or 9 months now. Yes, my friends have expressed sorrow and are now vowing to find me a "man". I even have a pair of boots that are my "man catcher" boots that I have most lovingly dubbed the title upon (Oh those lovely brown boots with the cute little brown buttons... ok, enough about the boots). Seriously now...
I'm actually happy to be working a lot and not be distracted by a relationship or desperatly clawing after a man. I am definatly pro-relationship. I like men and I wouldn't mind dating them. For the most part, I feel happy, healty and in a good mood. Then the mood gets shattered whenever I hear the "singleness question". Since when did singleness stand for something bad?
Thank goodness for my co-worker. She told me there was nothing wrong and no, I was not wearing an invisible sign that screamed I was single and that I don't have a desperate look on my face. She said that I was where should be and that this is how life should...
20's are for messing up and figuring out what you want to do with your life.
30's are for starting on your career and getting married
40's are for living out your career and living out your life.
I'm liking that idea...for the most part :)

There is nothing wrong with being single! people need to be single sometimes. Relationships are really complicated sometimes and for some reason they leave you without any time for yourself. If you had a "man" probably you wouldn't have bought your man-catcher boots. Probably you wouldnt be writing this blog because you would be "too busy" talking to your boyfriend on the phone. Enjoy the single time, sometimes it is the best time!

hi ell!
your friends have expressed 'sorrow'?
wow. that seems a strong emotion when applied to singleness...
why don't you just go at things in a way that makes you feel right....?
that seems more comfortable to me...
:o)
cheers!

That was a badly drawn statement, stickman:P jk And, RBG(yeah, I'll go with that)? It seems some people with boyfriends or husbands are here blogging anyway:P and chatting. I start to wonder are they happy relationships--and thus this is just a hobby--or is something wrong?
I too am often asked "why don't you have a girlfriend?" I ask myself often. I know I have apprehensions based on what is going on around me.
I wouldn't put an age bracket on life. If I did, I'd be more depressed than I am now. I've been single all my life thus far. And, I'm not a multi-million success by far. I became desperate to take a trip to Europe before turning 30--feeling my life/past was looking rather empty. Haste makes waste.
Think about it.
