Settling is one of my biggest fears, so I am really picky. I love how you lied to your folks about a b/f. I don't talk with my folks about that stuff, though the one time I mentioned something about a girl I was seeing....we broke up with her the next day, whoops. When my mom asked about her a couple days later...awkward! (late to the game….)

Only date people who have a serious chance of being worthwhile. It works. :) Simple solution: don’t date everyone from a “gay mormon virgin to a B-list celebrity with serious bi-polar issues”.

I think the truest part of the post was it's better to be single than with the wrong person. At the same time, this post felt like it hinted to the 'perfect someone' and 'settle syndrome'. Certainly no one should settle. The issue with considering the whole idea of 'settling', however, is (and I say this realizing I am not a hopeless romantic) that there isn't that 'perfect someone'. If you're looking, you get caught in a cycle. Any and all relationships will take work. Granted, that doesn't mean that every one is right. But my point is more of, to me, it is more romantic to go through the thick and thin with a person, knowing your past arguments, struggles, and frustrations (to mention the thick) than to bail thinking if such difficulties are present, you must be with the wrong person or settling. People are different by nature, which means love will never be easy. But if love were easy to begin with, I don't think it would really be worthy of being called love.

I think I actually hate dating. I did meet the love of my life and married him at 20. But after he passed away .. I don't know I am single single for the first time in my life and after a few months of severe panic after that whole.. time ... I've met enough reasons to consider a sperm donor later on in life Guys are great. I heart boy watching like the next girl. But I find that there are just so many complications..skeezy people too.. *eek* I love being pleasantly surprised by really good company though and its weird.. once I stopped thinking about it, its almost easier to find haha.. but then again, I don't date right now at all so *shrugs* I'm sure from this little comment you know I must be submerged with personal issues that I am working through. but aside from all of that, being single and meeting/dating myself is .. its not as bad as I used to think it would be in fact, its great I'll be sure to update a comment one day..when my No Men campaign has waned :) right now, I'll just continue missing him all on my lonesome. Oh - no cats for me but I do have a dog :) yeah I don’t know.. I think I actually hate dating.

And WOW, did I ever get backlash from the marrieds... Won't be doing that again any time soon :P I wrote a post about the joys of marrieds & singles & dating once, and my single readers commented about how the marrieds envied us single gals.

Anyone surprised? It was a wonder I even stuck to the topic and didn't digress into a story about my new shoes. Please go read my blog (www.planschange.blogspot.com) for the whole recap of how it went down yesterday. As such, for the record, I don't think all married people are envious of the singles (thanks wine), and getting married at 18 isn't "settling," (I agree that they may be lucky ones!), I, too, prefer relationships to dating (by FAR!), and yes, LT Nixon, HIDE THEM.

But this post is motivational. I lay claim to not being a "douche", but maybe I should hide those star wars figurines, ahha.
