At my age, I really cherish the
friendships I have with other single women. Not that I don’t love my
married/coupled friends, but my single friends and I have more in common… well,
kind of.
So a few of my single friends and I have
been having conversations asking whether or not we want to be in a
relationship, or why we aren’t in one, or if there are particular reasons we
haven’t found one that sticks. I know that I’m pretty picky, and having that
elusive “spark” is important to me. I want someone who gets along with my
friends and family and who enjoys the same things as I do.. blah blah blah.
It all got me to thinking about being
single at 36 and if I really want to be in a relationship. So I created a pros
and cons list that might help me decide (although very doubtful).
PROS CONS
Having a companion to do things with Feeling like you have to have them along for everything
Getting knocked up I
can do it without a relationship (IVF,not being a slut)
Being old by myself If
they got older faster I’d have to take care of them
Sex I
don’t think there is a con to this one..
Having someone to cook for Unless
they are picky and have a ton of allergies
Cuddling Do not cuddle with my while sleeping.
I hate that
Having
to share my holidays with his family
Not
being able to hang out with my friends all the time
I
probably can’t have a household full of animals
I
tend to date cheaters.. so there’s always that
I
can’t move at a moment’s notice

imagine they’d want me to shave my legs daily
