Huh? And the head tilt... aye aye aye! It's such an unnecessary gesture of sympathy. If you DO WANT to meet someone, I got some good advice some time ago from a friend that is simple but true... Let family and friends know you are 'looking' and what you are looking for (you never know who they might know)... keep an open mind... meet lots of new people... be open to new opportunities and situations... And have fun. And if you DON'T want to meet someone? keep an open mind... meet lots of new people... be open to new opportunities and situations... And have fun.

I'd say go with the flow until it feels right. they say people always want what they don’t have and they are sooooo right. I’d say go with the flow until it feels right.

You should see the looks on their faces when I say that! It shuts them up alright! When I get the question, I tell people that I don’t think I want to get married.

I get this too. I have started answering this question with "I haven't met anyone good enough" because like you said - that, in this day in age, is just totally believable., and in my case, TRUE. Also, what is it about guys with jeeps? jc yeah, i feel you. I get this too.

Are you operating on your timeline or theirs? (Unfortunately, women are more subject to these questions then men. If a woman gets our age and isn't married, something is wrong with her. If a man isn't married, he just hasn't settled down yet.) Do you need an answer? Are you operating on your timeline or theirs?

All my friends were getting married and I was completely frustrated with dating and feeling hopeless. My sister talked me into the unthinkable right before my 30th bday. She made me go online. And I did it with an "I don't really care" attitude and ended up having so much fun! Most of the dates were bad - but they were an entertaining distraction - and gave me great stories to tell to the people who were asking me about being married. Even if you don't try this approach, try try try to have faith that he's out there. Because he is. And he likes little dogs.

They've been married 18 years now. I say, no worries, wait for the right one. He's out there! And by the way, if he didn't like your dog, then he's not right at all.

I keep hearing lately "when's he gonna propose?" and it makes me very upset. I actually start thinking "yeah! when IS he gonna propose" when just the day before I was happpy with the pace of things. It isn't until someone comes along and puts doubt in my head that I start to wonder what's wrong with the way things are. Folks think they're being cute and/or conversational, but... argh! I can tell by your blog that you are AWESOME and datable and when it happens it will happen. And I hope it goes exactly like your guy-with-a-jeep fairy tale!
