Sigh. Again? Really?
My female (and honestly, some male) friends here in DC are going through a single-panic phase. All they can talk about are dates and finding dates. And whether everyone else has dates.
We are all intelligent, interesting, and busy people who have a ton going on in our lives. I don't really want to spend my time whining about not having dates. Or about how your dates have been awful lately. Either get off your ass and do something about it or, if things are really not going your way, make your life something you're in love with, without the boyfriend/girlfriend.
Why does this have to taint the rest of your life, when everything else is going so well?
Sure, I have a new crush, but honestly the people I'm interested in are rarely interested in me (and it's not like others are knocking down my door). So I have made my life something that I love to live on my own. I'm making sure that I'm meeting new people, that I'm trying new things, that I'm staying challenged.
I refuse to spend my time whining about something that's not working out, or to go on endless (mostly bad) dates when I could be spending that time doing something I actually enjoy. I want the energy I expend to be towards loving my life, not towards worrying about something that's not working.
If I meet someone I click with, sure, I'll go on a date with them. But in the meantime/interim, I'm having a blast. I just don't understand why singledom is so scary for some people. I really don't.
End rant, because I have better things to do.
