It’s so rare I see a Carebear (one word or two?) and terms ‘love geyser’ and ‘strapping young lads’ in a single entry. Well done.
Preach it, sister.
yay, Meg!
OK, Meg? No. 13 is making me teary.
You are my hero today.
Meg, my married friend once told me that marriage isn’t a promotion in life. Ever since then I’ve thought differently about being single. I think you have a great attitude about love and life and I hope you find happiness, with or without a man.
Rock on, my fellow single sistah!
an AWESOME day of posts! GOOD FOR YOU! If you don’t mind, I’m going to print this out, save it for my neice, and give it to her as a gift in a couple of years. I was going to say this list is one of the most inspirational things I’ve ever seen regarding women and love, but realized it is the one of the most inspirational (and true) things I’ve ever read about love and loving and it isn’t gender specific. Thank you for giving us this.
Way to Go Meg!
And That’s the reason why we loves ya Baby! LOL
Do What ya gotts do Love, The Fans are behind Ya!!!!!!
You have so much time. And there are so many possibilities to explore. You’ll find them. And also? You rock. You just do.
Great manifesto! Good for you! Much better to be single than to marry someone for wrong reasons and spend many years regretting it and miserable. Believe me, many of us married women would LOVE to be single again! Enjoy life and enjoy your freedom!
True ’nuff that marriage is not a promotion. In some ways it is in fact a DEmotion, since you go from being a princess/starlet/independent fun chick to being a housekeeper/cook/nurse/picker-upper-of-socks. But that’s coming from a cyincal old married lady… ;-)
Oh, and also? Married people need this list too.
When you have high standards, there are fewer people to choose from. This isn’t to be discouraging, but to say that the wait will be worth it.
Totally! Getting married is NOT the prize. BUT, there’s nothing wrong with tawdry romance novels.
I’m with Eric! You will find them. Build it, they will come, and all that. (Um, I didn’t mean for that to sound as dirty as it does!!)
I am a single blogger, too, but then again, anyone with small children is so. not. single. Sigh!!
Hear, hear and Bravo.
Well said.
AMEN, Meg. I wish that I had this sort of strength and sense-of-self when I was single, and actually, I wish I had it now, too.
“I will laugh and laugh and laugh and make other people laugh. Because, in love or not, life sucks without that.”
Follow this “rule” and you’ll be way ahead and only good things will happen.
Please do not become like a Candance Bushnell character. I would have to go and die.
