This is me: Chronically Single.

I’ve been single for the past 2 years. I dated my last boyfriend from 10th grade to my summer before my third and final year in college. At first I was crushed…it wasn’t at all what I wanted….but as time went on, I began to realize how the breakup was a blessing in disguise.

I was so much happier without him…we just grew apart and were going in totally different directions in life. We grew up together…and that was great, but it was over and I just didn’t want to see it until I had to.

Anyway, the point is, after two years of learning to be myself and standing on my own, doing the things I want to do, and figuring out what my hobbies are without my high school and college boyfriend, I am sick of being chronically single. I think being single is great for a lot of people and works for some…and for the past two years, it has been FANTASTIC for me.

But I’m done now. I’m sick of being alone. I’m tired of waking up to to only my dogs in my bed. I haven’t kissed anyone in two years. I haven’t held anyone’s hand in two years. And, boy is it getting old.

I don’t know what to do though…I’ve tried going out, I’ve tried match.com…and I just can’t seem to meet anyone who works for me. I’ve been on dates but usually only first dates because either I don’t like them or things get strange or too hard or there was just nothing there.

I am really starting to get frustrated. I know that when the time is right, I’ll meet someone and it will be fantastic…but what do I do until then??

Any thoughts/suggestions??
