Singleness

Okay here is the pros and cons of the new dating life. IT sucks. I always grew up believing I would meet prince charming or "the one" for me. Well now I think that is a crock. My new belief is to just get out there and have fun. Do not worry if this is "the one" a "soulmate" or whatever stuff is being put out there. Do I believe there are individuals who match and choose to get married because the "stars a line" they have a feeling or just everything is correct. They believe the same things and have a general respect for each other YES. However, I also believe we are not meant to sit around waiting for our "true love" to come knocking on our door and announcing he or she is there. In my many years on this earth I have heard many stories on how individuals have met, high school, church , friends and internet are the main ways I have heard of people meeting. Within all these stories these individuals have stated the individaul he or she chose to marry just fit. The individuals knew he or she was the "right one" the one he or she knew this person would be the one he or she would want for the rest of his or her life. For some it was love others lust at first site but all at one point made the decision and commitment to the individual. I believe in my old age I have become pragmatic where dating and relationships are. I see marriage not as the grass is greener but different. I see where being single has benefits as I can choose to make plans whenever I want and go wherever. Without checking to see where plans are and what is going on. However, there is the nice thing of having someone else to do the dishes, pay the bills or call the plummer. But in the end what it truly comes down to is knowing you are loved and respected. This can happen whether you are married, dating or single. Start by loving yourself and the rest will all fall into place
