i think you are at that age when everyone who isn't getting married or in a relationship thinks this way...seriously. & at some point at that age it seems like if you get invited to 1 more shower/wedding etc you will just scream.

i think you will survive (most of us do by the way)...altho honestly it does suck that some of us who stay single seem to end up buying tons of gifts & we never have showers, weddings etc as payback....we need the same...i could use a toaster, coffee maker, ..just sayin...

don't worry, if it is to happen it will. got a dog? walk it. one of the best meet & greet things you can do is get a dog. go to the dog park. join some groups. most of all relax & be yourself. be forced & anxious & it won't be a good relationship.

be happy. do stuff yourself. go to museums, see things that you enjoy...take trips. alone isn't a death sentence...& you will meet others like you..trust me.

i decided long aGO that i wasn't going to sit home alone & wait for something & haven't looked back since. best decision i ever made. still single at 52..& that is by choice.
