lonelyI cannot tell you how many couples I passed. As a single girl, I cannot tell you how discontent I feel when I am reminded that I am alone. Couples have something I am sorely lacking: Togetherness and one would hope, love. My parent and my friends love me, but I have not known carnal love in quite some time. I had a NSA arrangement with an older guy, but he never spent the night and every time I wanted see him, he was unavailable... After a month of being turned down, I broke it off...I am getting older now and I need a guy I can rely on, someone who will gladly spend the night after we've been dating for a bit. A guy who's not afraid to appreciate my beauty and my brains.
I admit I've been married to my work for 10 years, building my online portfolio and respectable writing credits. Now when I step away from the computer I look around, I realize that all of my friends are married or in committed relationships, so they won't help me meet guys. I have recently made an effort to get out more. I also need to learn how to appreciate small talk. Guys ask me for directions all the time. Like an idiot I help them out and then go on my merry way, without bothering to make small talk. After all, if a guy doesn't know me yet, he's got to find a way to strike up a conversation, even if the topic is something lame; everybody's got to start somewhere...
