There are many benefits of being single. And I’m quite aware of them all. Have been for an admitted five years. In between those five years I’ve had off and on relationships. Nothing to write home about. Nothing serious.
When I first started this blog earlier last year, I had pretty much decided — no — convinced myself singledom was a better world. In many cases it is. For my case it has been. Living in a society with first-wife syndrome, skyrocketing infidelity and increasing divorce rates, single is just a simple solution. I took exception to a co-worker telling me I needed a man and started to voice my opinions about that here. And I still feel that being a single person in this day in age IS a relationship. You have to be comfortable with yourself — give a damn about you in order to stay on a proper path in a relationship with another person.
It’s a new year. There is nothing wrong with being a 30-something single woman. I make no apologies. I’ve never been married. Although John Popper is welcome to be my future ex-husband. He he. —->>>
Anyway, I officially joined an online dating site last year against my better judgment. That pretty much failed and it is among many other things I was doing in 2008 to find a potential mate who would be the right fit for me and not necessarily MR. RIGHT. And I’ve dished all about it here.
This blog is about working through all the setbacks, stumbles and successes that anyone who is single may encounter along the way — all the while keeping a sense of humor about it! There is no denying that it all can lead to a possible relationship in the future. Which I am not sure I care if it results in that outcome. But if and when that happens, by the time it does, it’s key to be readily prepared to be confidently single again — minus the guilty or depressed stigma attached. And that, my friends, I’ve already done.
I will continue to share my mishaps and realizations as I hope you will do the same. Feel free to use the following contact form to reach me, ask questions, or share your thoughts and opinions. No worries. The comments only appear in my inbox and not here on my about page.
