I have been watching Before Sunrise and the sequel, Before Sunset. Ethan Hawke didn't age well, but I suppose I shouldn't talk--I'm not in my thirties yet

Hey banana, I just wanted to say that I don't think it is idiotic or base to want to meet someone or be with someone- I think that being in a relationship is very purposeful and if it's a good one, it's a very meaningful job to be there for someone you love. So don't feel silly for wanting a boyfriend. I'm sure that you already know that, and it's easy for me to be all, "I have dave so love is wonderful, blah blah blah." However, I do have some guy friends who are really good people and they have the same love laments that you have and that I've had in the past, so I think it is just a matter of it being hard to find a good match. They're out there, the really nice, good guys, but I think people are just so complicated and weird, that finding the right match-ups and the right timing are the parts that make good relationships so elusive. Plus, it bugs me that there is this cultural opinion that makes you feel like a loser if you are looking for a boyfriend and really want to find someone. Most people want to find somebody, deep down, we just all think it's not attractive or something and I think that is stupid. The Rules is stupid and He's Just not That Into You is really stupid, and they are just designed to make you feel bad and also to manipulate someone into wanting to marry you. Who wants to trick somebody into marrying them? Wouldn't you rather find someone who wants to marry you because he loves you the way you really are, flaws and all? Just because you get married doesn't mean that you'll stay married or that your relationship is healthy. Anyway, I guess my point is that you shouldn't feel bad for wanting to find someone. I think real love is still a very noble endeavor. And I think you totally have it together way more than anybody who ever wrote a dumb how-to-catch-a-man book. There's somebody great out there for you, banana. I really do believe that. -Blendi
