Well I decided to jump on the bandwagon and attempt the 30 day challenge of The Single Woman blog. I have always enjoyed reading her twitter and blog posts. Why not try to do some of these myself? So here it goes...
I can't tell you how many times a week, maybe even a day, I am asked "why are you still single?" It's usually said in a tone of confusion or disbelief. Most of the time I laugh it off and say that I am just too much for one person. But really every time someone says it, whether meant to be harmless or not, I take it rather personally. What's wrong with me? Why haven't I ever been hit on at a bar? Why do I always pick guys apart?
I like to say it is because I just haven't met that one guy. The one that makes me forget to look for flaws. The one that overlooks MY flaws. The one that I randomly meet somewhere and everything just seemingly falls into place. You know, the fairy tale; the story in which improbable events lead to a happy ending.
Maybe it's because I am not ready. Maybe I'm afraid of failure, heartache, or simply not being enough for one person. I don't want the immature relationship; the jealousy, the on again/off again, the petty fighting. I want to believe there is more.
