Hey, TG, I hear ya! I've been on my own for what feels like forever! I am young, with a great job, a beautiful daughter, nice place, but being by myself seems to be my MO. Guys at work assume that I'm dating left and right, but couldn't be further from the truth. I've been told countless times that I look "intimidating"--men never approach and talk to me.
I complain about my future, me in a stretched out wool cardigan and sweatpants, surrounded by eight cats and dustballs
. But in all honesty, I've always loved being on my own. It's different now, because I have a full time job and a toddler, so I don't exactly lead a "single lifestyle". Still, though, I love the peace in my home, no questioning, no compromises, no arguments or silent treatments, no squabbles over money, no jealousy--you get the picture. It's liberating.
Yeah, it would be nice to have a man in my life, but I am willing to wait for a great one.
