I'm taking a moment to talk about love...

Yes, that's right, I am taking a brief moment to talk about something love related. Having talked with a few friends recently who are having this problem, and I myself have had this problem before, I thought I would bring it up here and see who here has had a familiar experience.

Yes, that's right, the whole liking someone who doesn't like you back, and yet having those who like you and yet you do not like them back. Why does this always seem to happen time and time again? It definitely is the story of my life - which is why single life is the life for me ;).

Are we sending out the wrong signals to those we think are just friends? Maybe it is because we are just friends that we are much more comfortable around these people who in turn like us for more? I do know that I tend to get a little flustered around people I really like, so in turn I suppose they do not really see the real me? But then again, after a few meetings this will go away, so... I really do not have an answer. All I know is that it has been happening for years to almost everyone, and will probably continue to do so.

And that whole "let's just be friends" conversation is really not a fun thing to do. Yeah, we all know how that is ;). Well, this is why I for one will just try and be friends only with everyone... but if any of you have any thoughts on the whole the people you like don't like you back, and the one's who do you don't really like in that way, please do share them! :)

He's Just Not That Into You.... So....

Since when was being single the new plague??!

So I had lunch with a friend the other day, and she brought up an interesting point. She said she felt like she had failed because she herself was still single in her late twenties.

I mean really, since when was single a bad thing??

I then began to wonder if others too had this thought. I suppose it doesn't help that with every film and television show these days, we have the underlined tone that we must get married, the sooner the better, or we will end up alone. They all state that people over the age of 30 are doomed to spend a lifetime alone. Sounds pretty grim...doesn't it?

Uh....okay, so instead of focusing on the negative, look at the bright side... you will have the freedom to do anything you want, you have that optimism, that around any corner you could meet someone truly great, and I could go on. It's a great time to spend your life with your friends too.

Instead of treating this as horrible circumstances, one should use this time as a great advantage to truly get to know yourself.

I have been single for years, and I love every minute of it. But, then again, I'm one of these people who will enjoy whatever state they find themselves... there is good things in ever situation life presents us. =)
