I've decided to write about my adventures in the singles world. Some are funny, some are sad but they all made me who I am today!
Being single is no longer taboo (I hope!!), friends know that I always make light of my "situation" and is always on the look out for a lead for a good man. Whatever a good man is, it could very well be a bad boy!! How knows? Certainly not me, I haven't found him yet!!
I'll try to enlighten you as to who I am and what I'm looking for and I hope you will participate by sending your comments, recommendations and send your friends to my blog, the more the merrier!! And who knows, maybe HE will come along through this...

Spinster situation?
That make you sound... old. Which you are not.
I'm the first survey answer too!
The only single guys I can think of that aren't my sons age (10 and younger) are REAL GEEKS I knew in college, that I wouldn't try to set up with my enemies, let alone my friends! (They were real weird, and probably still are!)
Yeah, you're right; "sprinster" is a pretty outdated term but ...
From Wikipedia: Today, pro-spinster writers argue that spinsterhood is an empowering choice, one not necessarily linked to romantic or sexual abstinence. The website Spinster Spin exemplifies this attitude in "Love and the Modern Spinster" (excerpt):
Granted, most people think of a “spinster” as someone who doesn't have romantic relationships. Historically, a spinster was a woman whom love had passed by, who had never “been chosen” for marriage or motherhood.
As modern spinsters, however, we do our own choosing. We embrace romance and relationship, but with a consciousness of both the joys and the costs involved. We know that it’s nice to wake up next to a warm man, but that the trade-offs are that he’ll likely leave the toilet seat up and forget to pick up his underwear. We understand that the ideal and the reality of love must be taken together, and so we feel no impetus to radically change the men we become romantically involved with. And as permanent single people, we also do not invest energy in evaluating whether men are "marriage-material." This orientation gives us a power in relationships that is (sadly) not always accessed by our married (or marriage-minded) sisters.
But in my case, I must admit I still do "invest energy in evaluating whether men are marriage-material." Sadly, maybe I'm not as modern as I thought...
I have been married thrice,(just sounds better than three times).The last two I really believed were the real thing.But i was to learn once again that things dont always work out as you would like.I know one thing for sure that you had better be best friends and be prepared to put up with each others oddness (is there such a word it seemed to say what i mean)if not you are doomed to unhapiness or worse.When its good its really good when its bad you had better be good friends.
