You know how I keep saying I'm going to start writing more? Well, here I am, saying it again. This time I've got a little help. I stumbled across an old blog challenge from Mandy Hale creator of The Single Woman. If you want to check it out, here is the link to her original post (from 2013) http://thesinglewoman.net/2013/10/04/the-single-womans-30-day-blogging-challenge/
So, here we go. Day One. How do you respond to: "And why are you still single?"
Starting off with a tough one. I've been single almost 10 years now, so I have heard this one hundreds of times. I've also heard many opinions from others on the subject. I touched on the subject quite a while back on one of my previous posts. I've been told I'm looking too hard (see previous post for my opinion on that...) and that he will come along when I'm not looking. I've been told I'm too picky. I've been told so many things that I was starting to think that it didn't matter what I did, I would be alone forever.
I've done some work on myself recently (a topic for another post) and I've come to realize that I AM picky... but I think a better term for it is selective. It's been this long, why settle now?? Why would I lower my standards and expectations just so that I can be in a mediocre relationship with someone I settled for? I may be Vanilla, but I'm better than that! I - and my future partner - deserve better than that!
So that's my answer these days. I'm still single because I know what I am looking for in a partner, and I know he's out there somewhere. We will find each other some day.
