Thanks Mom...
I came home yesterday to a nice little package sitting at my doorstep. I open it up to find a book called "Going Solo - The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone." So I think even my Mom has even given up hope that I will find anyone again. (I do say this tongue in cheek, as I haven't really tried dating since ending my first post-divorce relationship last May), but I admit I am a little afraid of what it will be like to get back out there again - apparently my Mom is too!
I did start reading it, and it turns out "Singletons", those living alone, are becoming the majority population, even over the Nuclear Family! YAY!
Re: Thanks Mom...
Hopefully she meant it in a nice way!
My mom just told me I could be "satisfied" wink wink nudge nudge and just "date around" for a while. What?!? I think she wants me to sleep around!
I LOVE living alone.
Its a bit hurdle for me to get over as far as future pairing up.
Moms love to quote-help-unquote. Gah. Your post reminded me of years ago, when microwaves were the go-to wedding gift, my mom gave one to each of my siblings as they got married. Years went by and I remained her unmarried daughter, withholder of grandchildren, but finally I got mine for Christmas one year. It was her way of saying "You'll never get a microwave otherwise".
Signed, someone who bought a much nicer microwave oven not long after that. Because. I. Could.
I LOVE living alone too, and have been living alone since 2003 with the exception of a 5 month cohabitation stint in 2006. I joke that if I get married someday I'd like to keep my own apartment and sleep there a couple of times a week.
