Singledom - being single is a good thing!

Yippee. I’m single. a lot of people would freak at the thought of ever being happy on their own. I don’t understand that. you can have so much fun on your own. no-one in your face to criticise or steal your time. you are your own person. making your own decisions, choices, way through life. there’s lots of email marketing going around selling dating websites. I can see the attraction. for those insecure people out there who need someone else to cling on to make themselves feel whole. it’s a shame really. being alone, living without the crutch of another person is such a liberating experience. you learn a lot about yourself. what you like. what you don’t like. I never realised I loved staying up late, all night sometimes, just to watch the sun rise. watching the sun set is like switching off the light, but seeing the sun rise in a morning, the twilight before the sun breaks the horizon, is the most magical time of the day. it is the dawn of the day. now I’ve lived alone I don’t think anyone could ever meet my expectations. now I hear you say that I must be lonely. why don’t I crave the feelings of sharing my life with someone else. to me, life is just better alone. don’t get me wrong. I love dating guys. seeing someone in the office, catching their eye by the coffee machine. I enjoy dating too, though recently one guy took me to an art exhibition and would not stop talking about his job. I mean guys, be serious, does a girl really want to hear about the pvc banners that your company makes? No. it’s not that interesting. so get over it. turns out he was still working - the banners for the exhibition venue were his.

So, I’ll enjoy my single life, with a little fun along the way. It’s the open path - all posibilities and no limitations. Nerds need not apply. Geeks could be considered.
