One day a wise aunt told teasing family members, "Better to be single than wishing you were!" That shut everyone up real quick and I said it all the time afterwards. It lightens up an awkward situation.
Originally Posted By alexbook Okay, I'll own up to being anonimouse. I've been having a rough week, between work and money worries, plus headaches and nausea from trying to cut back on caffeine, and I stumbled across that old topic and thought, "Yes, if only I had a girlfriend, everything would be okay." I know it doesn't work that way, of course, but I was feeling sorry for myself and my thinking went a bit screwy.

Originally Posted By Ursula Alex, I've met you and found you to be a very charming and perfectly viable candidate for anyone looking for a companion. You have good table manners and can carry a dinner conversation with someone you've never met before. ANY woman in the age-bracket you've listed will know how important this is in a relationship. If I come across a like-minded single-yet looking woman, I will send her your way with stellar recommendations.

Originally Posted By disney pete I don't mind the being single bit but i do miss having someone to hold of a night,i guess ive had a lucky escape with my ex i was prepared to marry her and start a family.
Originally Posted By alexbook <--blushing at Urs's and MissC's comments >>"Better to be single than wishing you were!"<< Been there, done that. Yes, it really is okay to be single. I would *like* to find a mate again, but I'm old enough to realize that I don't *need* somebody else just to get by. It's just that sometimes when I'm tired and depressed, like yesterday, I forget.
Originally Posted By friendofdd Alexbook, may I introduce you to MissCandice, one of my personal heros and an all around beautiful person. MissCandice, meet Alexbook. I've only met him for a short time at a recent LP meet, but he seems a genuinely, if somewhat tall, good fellow.

I'm single and I don't really mind it all of the time, but what I'm really sick of is getting treated like I'm so useless because I "can't find a man". Every male with a pulse a family member comes across is "just perfect" for me. Just because I haven't found someone to share my life with, doesn't mean I'm a waste of space, does it?
Originally Posted By Ursula No, it does not!!! ^^^^ Hey, I waited until I was in my something-thirties until I got married!!! One of my dearest friends got hitched at 43 for the first time. When it's right, it's right. When it's not...it's such a waste of time! I know this is shocking, but I have some friends who even are in their 50's and have not married! Oh, the horror! Of course I jest, as they are happy and lovely human beings. One is still looking, one is content to not look at all. This last one loves that she gets invited to more dinner parties than anyone else we know.
