It's taken a very long, long time, but I'm starting to enjoy things like my freedom and not having to answer to anyone or work around someone else's schedule (perhaps this could be seen as a greedy reason for coming to enjoy single life?)
There are many times I long to be married... but then I listen to the married people!! Such as... dealing with their in-laws... or their spouse being angry that they're attending a class at church because the spouse thinks they should be at home with the kids instead... financial woes because one controls the money and spends without giving the other an equal allowance... and on and on. Listening to all this temporarily cures my wish to be married!
Do you single ladies feel though that you've become so independent that if a guy does come along, you might be like, "Oh yeah, what could you give me or do for my life that I can't already take care of myself?" (Some men will say sex, but hey... as time goes by, that doesn't seem as important anymore either and I surely wouldn't want to marry someone just for sex.)
Do you also find that you have nice guys or guy friends that want to try a relationship, but you know you don't feel that way, and they think they can "convince" you? I've found myself in that situation a few times and it makes me a little defensive because they act like they know what's better for your life than you do.
I told God He's pretty much going to have to hit me over the head when the right guy comes along because sometimes I'm afraid I'll miss him.
What about you other independent gals out there?
