If you’re single and reading this blog, I’m sure at least once in your life you’ve been asked “Why are you still single?” I cringe when asked this, especially when they throw in the STILL part. Like there is some deadline. Like I’ve lost the race. The race to where?
So what’s your answer? Do you reply back like a smart ass with something like: “Why are you still bald?” or “Why are you still an @$$hole?” lol. Okay so that’s not constructive but it feels good.
Last month, I was on a date with a nice guy I’ll call “Jamie.” I met “Jamie” at a bar. He was there alone and so was I. He was friendly, quiet and gentleman like. For some reason I pick the silent types. I’m trying to get away from this – trust me! Anyway, “Jamie” and I were on this wonderful date having a half bottle of wine when he asked me: So “why are you single?” And before I could answer he answered for me.
He said “I know why: because you won’t settle. You have standards.” He went on to tell me that I should be proud to be single. Wow. Really? In other words, some people tend to lower their standards to not be alone. Instead, I have faith that there is someone out there who is worth the wait. Really?
Yes, really. There is someone. No scratch that, there are several ONES out there who could be a great match for me. And as “Jamie” suggests, I will wait. “Jamie” wasn’t that dude for me, but he inspired me. So in turn, I hope reading this blog inspires you. I hope that as you follow my adventures in love, dating and romance that you find something for yourself. We’re in this together!
