Dating and the single life seems to be a strong theme in the world of personal weblogs, or at least in the ones I read on a regular basis. This week was particularly rich in the bad or ugly or frustrating side of dating life that we, and when I say “we” I mean “me” and lots of other fabulous single women out there, are encountering. A few of my faves:
this is brilliant - and I intend to draft my own version for future use (as I have previously noted, it’s all about the follow-up)
an interesting analogy - I know I have had more than my fair share of calicos …
love’s a gamble - I really need to learn when to fold ‘em
and stuff like this happens - but never stop taking risks
and this - shout it from the rooftops, babe – absolutely his loss
bitter? nope not her - we have all asked ourselves this at least once – anyone have an answer?
someone’s after my man - for your own safety, step away from George. He’s MINE. You have been warned.
if all else fails, there’s always this - according to this I am destined to live in a Mansion in England, marry George Clooney (see above), and drive our 2 children around in a pink Saab. Fabulous, non?
so yeah, dating sometimes sucks and it’s tough and frustrating and heartbreaking, bu really, would we want it any other way?
Absolutely.
And I absolutely believe that it can be and will be and that I will find my lobster and who knows? maybe I already have.

An interesting blog to say the least. I’ve been a single father for 11 years, and while I have dated, it’s not where my focus in life has been. Having written this comment, I find myself wondering how many of us, while bored with dating, are definitly interested in re-marriage? While dating for me, has not been a priority, I do find myself more willing to walk down the aisle again than endure another blind date. It’s amazing to realize that right now over 50% of the women in America who are over the age of 50 are single! In Europe, almost 3 out of 5 women over the age of 28 are single,divorced, or widowed. With all those “fish” in the sea, you’d think someone would come up with an easier way to “fish”.
I enjoyed the perspective of your article.
