Where's the "I'm not worried about it" option??
I've resigned myself to the fact that when you're looking for a man, you NEVER find the one you want. It's when you're not looking that "blam!" here he comes.
Plus, there are so many other better ways to spend my time then thinking about whether or not marriage is in my future.
~I originally posted this on the "Meeting a man when you least expect it..." thread, but perhaps I should have posted it here only. ~
Anyway....I definitely have to get more in this frame of mind (see bolded quote above).
Because after coming from a recent heart-break, I have kind of just thrown in the towel. It's so discouraging sometimes.
I used to be "single and loving it" and didn't have a care in the world when I was in college, but now that I've FINALLY graduated (last year) and am working full-time and have my life basically pretty much in order, I'm starting to feel the "hunger pains" for a man in my life.
Don't get me wrong, I
like being single, and being able to have the freedom of coming and going as I please is nice...but I still need a man!
Not in the "needy" sort of way, but I need a man to talk to, to make me feel special, etc. I
want a man in my life. I'm not one of those "I don't need a man" type women. I'll gladly admit that I want/need a man.
But right now, it's not looking too hopeful, and after just seeing my little sister get married before me, it's starting to look less and less hopeful. Not to say however that I'm "old" (I'm only 26), but I'm getting antsy.
I don't mean to sound negative...I'm just being real. But in harmony with
MsNadi's quote above, I
do believe however that when you're
NOT looking you do meet people that you didn't expect to find. That's how I met my first love ("the heartbreaker") over a year ago. It's also how I met this new recent guy. I just went to a friend's party and met him. We instantly hit it off. Too bad he lives in a different state though.
Oh well...these days I'm just
TRYING to keep myself as busy as possible, and I'm doing things that I know I wouldn't be able to do if I were married/attached/tied-down. It's fun and enjoyable, but I still want a man!
But single ladies...trust me....
KEEP doing what you're doing. Keep going on with your life. HAVE a life. I think a lot of guys prefer women who have a life and live full and enjoyable lives with or without them. I don't know any man who likes to be around a woman who depends on him solely for fulfillment, and enjoyment in life.
