It was 2 years ago today that I officially returned to single status. TWO YEARS! Holy moly. It wasn’t really a shock, I knew it was coming. Subconscously, I wanted it. Regardless, it was painful and I was devastated. Who would have thought that two years later I would still be single? Not me, that’s for certain. Oddly enough, I don’t mind it. I’ve met many people over the last 2 years but not one of them interested me enough to pursue. Isn’t that funny? Pursue. Wasn’t there a time when that was a man’s job? Not anymore. It took me awhile to grasp that concept but I now understand that if I want a boyfriend I must go out there and catch him. The real issue is I am not so sure where “there” is. I hold the belief that somewhere in the middle of Philadelphia there is a sports bar where all the men in my age range loiter. I haven’t found it yet, but one day I will. When that day happens, I will reel in a nice man who thinks I’m neat and wants to spend time with me. Until then, I am quite happy surfing the Internet, watching old movies, and knitting.

so, I am like the only one who is confused that March 2002 doesn’t give DETAILS?????
Donna,
I understand the feeling. Being a tall, thin, white looking kid in a mostly hispanic school was not easy. That and being smarter than most really hurt my chances of meeting somebody interesting until I got to college. But now that college has been finished for almost 10 years I still wonder. For years I struggled and struggled, hoping I would meet one person and enjoy their company and they would enjoy mine. I think most guys aren’t up to your level of intellegence, achivement and whit. Someone will come along, you just might find them in the most unsuspecting places. Besides, it ALWAYS happens in the most unsuspecting places, when you least expect it or when you positively DON’T expect it to.
Its been a little over three years since I met Wendy, Friday I put a down on a pink diamond stone. I hope she isn’t reading this or else the suprise is up! Anyways, I do hope your day is going well and I’m sorry to ramble a little bit.
Hi Donna, i LOVE the pics of your house especially the kitchen, i cant wait to see it in person (hint hint). Now that you have a bachelorette pad you are sure to meet lots of nifty men. Okay girl, talk to ya soon! Love Erin
I am absolutely certain you will have no problem finding the right guy. He’ll come along sonner or later. Just enjoy your life in the meantime.
Keep on keepin’ on, Donna. Like you said — do what you enjoy, be happy. You’re too wonderful to NOT find a dreamboat someday. Trust me.
Good for you holding out and not just wasting your energy on men who aren’t in it for the long haul. It’s been over a year for me and I know it’s not easy. But I also know I am _so_ much better off with no one than with the wrong person. As for pursuing, I believe that when you meet the right guy, he will take the initiative. You won’t have to do all or even most of the pursuing yourself.
Wow – two years. I have been single a month after 10 years of marriage. How did you cope?
