Confessions of the single girl....

It's amazing how if you're single, life is bliss, you're lucky you don't have to answer to anyone, your time is your own....blah, blah. But those same women are trying to set you up with someone to date and possibly marry. And a lot of those women who are married are wishing they were single. But then they'd miss their husbands because who would they call when they have a dead battery? The jar of pickles has the lid screwed on too tight and they can't open it. Oooo...the cat barfed....honey, could you clean that up? You know I can't handle that. Both sides of the argument for married/single life have their merits and their downsides.

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

    Quoting KX450F2016:
    A lot of the "good guys" get overlooked for whatever the reason may be. As for me, I will probably be single for the rest of my life. I settled on my last relationship, never again! However anyone I do want, I get stuck in the friend zone or they aren't interested at all. So I am just enjoying things as best I can. At this point, not sure I'm even looking for a hookup or why I'm even here. LOL
I've been asking myself lately why I'm here. I do enjoy the blogs and writing, but the messages I receive from the men on here are, for the most part, terrible. My new favorite is the guy who keeps sending me pics of bondage equipment. Apparently no Thank you is not a clear enough message.

    Quoting  :

I don't ever see myself getting married, but I do want a close bond/friendship with someone. There are times that I do feel lonely and it's probably because I do not spend a lot of time with other people outside of work. On my own time I'm pretty much a !oner. When I go places alone people tend to stare at me, especially if I eat out of go to the bar. The assumption for the solo female is that she's looking to hook up.

Such a great write-up and perspective. Yes. It sounds like your friends are very spoiled. They are with men that actually listen and try. But it sounds like they and their husbands really need to understand and talk about things in their marriage. Words and thoughts like 'allowed' and 'have to' aren't supposed to be the first thought when describing spending time with friends and husbands respectively. Maybe they haven't done enough for each other and there's too much distrust in the marriage and relationship. There was a time when they 'wanted' to do things with their husbands first. Maybe they forgot how to date and be 😊 with each other. Just my $0.02.

"You're so lucky to be single. You can come and go whenever you please."

"It must be nice to buy anything you want without having to explain it to a husband."

"I don't know how you do it. I need my husband for everything."

"You're the strongest woman I know. I envy that!"

I broke one of my rules on Thursday and went to happy hour with a few lady coworkers after work.

Everything was fine and I was enjoying myself until....

One of my coworkers saw the guy next to me grin at me.

I didn't even see it.

We were sitting at the bar and my back was facing the guy next to me, my arm
stretched out to my side across the bar. He had accidentally grabbed my hand and I had pulled away instinctively.

"I saw that man grin at you!"

"Don't look now, I think he likes you!"

When you are the only single woman within a group of married women, this is the most embarrassing topic of conversation.

It's only a matter of time before it gets brought up.... It will always be brought up. Before you know it, everyone is marveling at how you could possibly 'still be single after all this time' and they are each wishing they knew someone single to fix you up with.

You are wishing you had a slingshot so you could shoot them between the eyes.

Thankfully the appetizers finally came and I ordered another beer, the topic of conversation shifting to how amazing the food was.

"Ah, shit. My husband's here."

I looked up and smiled, but I knew what was coming next.

"It must be nice to not have anyone to answer to."

I hate when married women do this, feel pity for you because they have someone who they are going home to and you do not. That infantilizing look in their eye when they pat your hand and tell you things like...

Your day will come.

What if my day came and passed?

What if it never comes?

This comment is always followed by the married woman who is disgruntled in her marriage.

"Don't EVER get married again, honey! Don't give up that freedom! If something ever happened between my husband and I, I'd never get married again!!"

Yah, this coming from the woman on her third marriage.

Round Two of uncomfortable topics of conversation.

I sit and smile while I listen to the remaining two as they complain about their spouses and sex lives and inability to to get along with them and the stupid stuff the spouses do....

And I wind up feeling a little envious.

Here these women have someone to come home to, someone there waiting for them, and all they do is complain.

"He bought red wine instead of white!"

"He didn't rinse the dishes off before he put them in the dish washer!"

"He bought me the wrong lotion! I wanted the rose scented one!"

What I hear is, a couple of spoiled women who will never be happy with anything..... But I only smile and nod my head.

If they only knew what I really though.....

The reason I'm still single is because all the decent guys are attached to women like you.

So, there you have it.

The confession of a single girl..... One of them, anyway.

Happy Saturday.
