I am a single lady right now.
*Play Single Ladies*
I am single because I haven't met anyone who is worth the effort of sharing a part of my life with. I mean given the choice of being single or being miserable or annoyed with someone else, I chose being single.
Having said that, all my friends are in relationships and that is a lonely road to be on.
My one friend is getting married and I am in her wedding and her and her groom are great, but they are doing this thing where they only seem to want to do things with other couples. Now, I am totally fine with that. Have fun with other couples! Do things in tables of four and six! But, please don't forget to invite me to things or to just stop hanging out with me all together. Oh...they already did that.
I am very capable of hanging out with couples. Don't such face during the whole Dodger game and I am fine. What I am not capable of is people only being couple people. Like single people don't like Thai. I like Thai! I love it. And sometimes Thai places have this thing where there are five seats available so little spinster me can join. I swear I have seen it happen.
I do have a few single friends and to be honest they are more fun sometimes because they tend to have more money and they tend to be able to pick up and go have wine on a Friday night without checking in. It is a little easier to make plans with them. But doesn't mean they are they are the only ones I should have to hang out with.
And the weird thing is that even though I am only 27, being single means that everyone for some reason thinks there is something wrong with me or that I don't one day want to get married. Look, I would love to get married to a great guy who is honest, determined, funny, and has a good head of hair, but let's be real, I am not meeting these guys right now. I met one guy. Let's call him "Going through a Divorce Guy." He is handsome and ten years my senior but really is in a bad place going through a divorce with kiddos and I am not up for that. What 27 would be? Being single at 27 while everyone else is throwing budget weddings and complaining to me about having kids too early shows that I am not ready to settle down and don't want kids...yet.
I want a wedding. I don't want to have to worry about saving every single penny to have it like my friends are now. I want a kid someday but I also like being able to go out on a wednesday night and drink wine with my friend and not have to worry about my husband at home or finding a baby sitter.
Maybe I am better off single now anyways. Besides, don't people always say "When you stop looking is when you met what you really want." It better be because every time I break up with someone or mention that I am single, that is the line they feed me.
Although, television does tell me that if I am single usually that means there is something wrong with me or I am not good enough for someone to love. Ugh, forget it! I will be a hermit! :)
