on being single ...
There are days when I really don't want to be single. Days where I would like nothing better than to share life with a special someone. There is nothing better than falling in love. Butterflies in your stomach, bounce in your step and joy in your smile. I do truly, madly, deeply want that. It doesn't just fall into your lap. You don't just wake up one morning and they are there ... no matter how much you drink the night before, the one lying next to you is probably not the 'one'.
So you must go out there and find them. This involves dating. I have always thought myself quite a good judge of character. I have thought I was successful at dating, well besides for the fact that I am still single, other than that, successful.
A friend of mine wrote a play. A play about dating. All the stories in it were true. She used some of my experiences. I went to see the play on Wednesday night.
I have come to the following conclusion ....
In a room full of 200 seemingly eligible, successful, normal, caring, wanting to commit, employed, independent and healthy males. I will find and be attracted to, within 10 minutes the only man in the room with some kind of addiction, committment problem, baggage issues, who is 'between jobs' and describes their current relationship state as complicated.
That's who I will want to date.

I know this is cliche, but eventually you'll find your "normal" other half :)

We all go through the rough patches, it's how you know when you find the one you can actually spend your life with...keep the good attitude that makes the whole process more enjoyable!

You would have to fight me for him. I have THE WORST luck with guys...I personally seem to enjoy the non-commit men myself. Yeah, they're the best.
Good Luck..maybe we should start a support club!

They all have baggage, some just hide it better than others! You'll find your man, or he'll find you.
Now, where can I go to see this play?

That's good that you can see it in yourself at least!

I'd let you date my sons but I'm pretty sure that's illegal in both countries.

Dating sucks. I hate dating, but boy does it make for some fun stories. I would totally share mine on my blog, but my current beau reads it. He would probably not find the humor in some of them. hee hee.

I asked my wife to talk to you, but she said what does she know about picking the right guy.
Hey, wait a second. . .
