Why I'm Single :)

While many of you may spend your days pondering the real reasons behind my Facebook status saying single (haha yeah right) many of you do not know these reasons.  So, I will tell you all why.  In my attempts to be fair, I will share with you both sides of the story.  Also, I am writing this blog partially for my family's benefit (At Thanksgiving or Christmas, please don't ask why) but please do not take offense to my writing dear family.  For a break from my blog, click here :)

First, I am single because I am independent.  Sometimes to a fault, I don't like asking for help.  Yes, I have been to a movie by myself.  Even though it isn't something I enjoy doing, I'm okay with it.  I don't need anyone else around to help validate my opinions or thoughts.  I like being able to do things at my own will, without checking in with someone else.  I don't like feeling suffocate or smothered. Minus the "I have money" one I think I come off as all of these girls once in awhile single ladies

Secondly, I don't want to settle for a boyfriend I don't care enough about.  I'm not about to have a boyfriend just to have a boyfriend.  That isn't worth it to me.  I'd rather be with my friends or alone than with someone I don't love. While, this may lead to a spinster lifestyle, I'm okay with that.  As long as a I have a dog or two to share it with Dog Video

Third, I think I want too much.  I want a Notebook style love (minus all the hurt and heartbreak).  I want someone who wants me everyday, who loves me everyday.  However, I also want someone who I want and love everyday.  I want someone to be adventurous with me, someone I can have fun with.  Also, you lie to me once and you've lied to me a hundred times.  Once is enough for me to be done and over it.  Deceit is difficult for me to forgive so, if you want to date me don't lie to me ;)

Fourth, I don't think I have met that person who is (I apologize for every cliche I'm about to use) who is my 'soulmate' or 'counterpart.' Nor do I think I am ready to meet this person or to realize I have met this person.  However, I welcome anyone willing to try to tame my wild heart.

Fifth, I like things MY way...

Sixth, I think too much.  I have a very creative an vivid imagination...So vivid I can't even watch a scary movie that isn't rated PG.  How does this relate you ask?  Well my vivid imagination seems to get me into trouble (thinking things are wrong when they're not). 

Seventh, I think I can be too nice and sometimes naive.  I try to believe the best in people and some people just don't have any good to be seen.  Well as it turns out, I see good in those people too. 

For those of you who decided to bore yourself with my ever so intriguing blog, I'm sorry.  But also, next time you ask me why I don't have a boyfriend remember the reasons I've given you.  While, I admit these are not the only reasons, these are the reasons that matter to me.  Also, I want to take a second to say that while some days I am unhappy about my current relationship status for the most part, I'm incredibly happy with how things are for me.  I don't mind treating myself to dinner and a movie or buying myself a birthday and Christmas present, for now :)

Until we meet again blogosphere :)
