Learnign to be single

Not a new me.... but a me reborn

Picking yourself up after your world falls apart is never easy. I should be an expert by now. My life has crumbled to pieces too many times for me to count. This time was the cherry on top.


Leaving my stressful job only to have my husband leave me, and by doing so lose a huge chunk my family and closest friends. I have found myself with a blank slate as a life. But nothing is gonna keep me down. I feel like I have been invisible for 2 years and now people are starting to notice me. The ring came off and the men came flocking. Although the last thing I need right now is a serious relationship. Instead I need to be single for a while. I am never single. The truth is I am horrible at being single.



I was having a conversation with a good friend the other day and he said "Men are simple, all they need is food and sex." Food and Sex... really? Seams too easy. So he asked me what women want or to be more precise, what I want. I cant narrow it down to 2 things, but if I had to make a list it would look like:

• A love of food


• Sex


• A sense of adventure and spontaneity


• He should stand for something


• A slightly twisted sense of humor

Now that doesn't sound too unreasonable. I can narrow it down to 5 important things. I don't sound like a crazy women. Do I? In high school I had a list a page long. It said things such as : he must like pie and prefer dogs over cats. But as you grow up you realize the little things don't matter. Its good to have differences. Unless you are a narcissist and just want to date yourself. They always say opposites attract, and its true. I like a man I can learn from. He should have different hobbies and knowledge about the world I have yet to learn. And in return I have many useless facts, lots of entertaining stories, and an open mind. Wow getting into the mind-set that I am single is weird.
