Being single means not dating to me. That's what it means. Choosing not to date at all.
But then I meet someone who is interested, and before I know it, I am too and then we get involved. This has happened a lot.
I just have to be careful about diving into something feet first and to be careful around new men I meet. Like this new male friend of mine.
I am working with my therapist on how to change my patterns with men.

I'm wondering if putting dating into the category of 'not single', like marriage may be part of the issue. It's a blurring of the boundaries. I don't know if I can get my point across well. Once you start dating someone you are 'not single' and therefore in the same category as marriage. What if there was a separate category for dating.
