Being Single in a Dating World


Being single in a dating world is sometimes tough. It seems like everyone else is paired up, either dating or married. Me I am single now, and well do not have plans to change that anytime soon. I mostly like being single.

I have tried the dating sites, and it seems like most of the males who write to me only want one thing. That would be good, if I was only looking for that one thing. Sex is highly overrated, and well after the last three boyfriends, I would rather skip it all together. Yes, perhaps all I need is to find a male who is good in bed to change my mind, but there is more to life then sex.

What about companionship? I miss having a male around to do things with outside the bedroom. Things like watching television, taking a walk or a drive heck even occasionally going out to dinner would be nice. The one thing I do miss the most is just having someone to talk to, other than my kids or my friends. I miss the simple, ‘hey how was your day at work’ type of conversations. I have to admit its also nice waking up next to someone as long as he is not clingy or has been stealing the blankets all night.

Until I find what I am looking for, I am not settling for a half-baked relationship. I want a man who works hard and plays even harder, he needs to know how to take care of himself, and be intelligent. Oafs do not need to apply! It is not that I wish to be spoiled with clothes, jewelry, or other gifts; it is that I wish to be respected in a relationship. I wish to be respected for the person I am, I will be and until then I will remain single.
