Thirteen Reasons Why I Don't Miss Being Single
1. Getting in and out of relationships.
2. Constantly wondering, with every relationship, "Is he the one?"
3. The angst of my solitary existence.
4. When everyone around me seemed to be getting married and having kids and I was still unattached.
5. Family and friends asking, at every damned opportunity, if I had a boyfriend or when I'd be getting married.
6. Being single on Valentine's Day. I hated V-day!
7. Well-meaning friends trying to set me up with this or that guy.
8. Guys who thought I was gullible and vulnerable to their absolutely cheesy lines.
9. Feeling that every sad love song was meant for me.
10. Mulling over the viability of my eggs. :)
11. Going to the movies by myself.
12. People giving me the pep talk about my prince coming soon… ugh!
13. PDA-ing couples all around… reminding my already miserable self that I didn't have a partner.
I got lucky in the relationship department. I dated exactly one man in college and married him right after we graduated. Twelve years and counting, we're still married. So I've never really been single.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT and thanks for stopping by. Sorry you didn't like Day of the Jackal either.
You know, I'd have to agree with each and every one of those you listed. Especially the angst of my solitary existance. I was really lonely until I met my husband. Nothing but goofs were out there until he came along! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy TT:)
You don't miss it at all, do you!!
ReplyDeleteOoo..I completely understand the feeling for #5..

ReplyDeleteHi Candy--first timer here and love the graphics (smile)!
ReplyDeleteSome humorous points you make. Looking forward to reading more of your thoughts, thank you.
Right on Sistah! Ha-that's a great list. How about never having to find a "date" to take to a wedding so you aren't the only single person at the table.

ReplyDelete@ Joanne: Hahaha... that, too! Yep, Knockin' On Heaven's Door is it-so-makes-me-wanna-puke overdone. And now Baby Face has also remade it, aaacck!
My opinion always was : better being alone then in bad company !
ReplyDelete@ Gattina: So true but I was younger then and didn't know any better. :o)
