A common question

Ok... So I have been single now for 4 months... I am loving it... The freedom it allows and everything that comes with being single... I just wonder about something... This something is the most commonly asked question to me since July... "Do you have a new boyfriend yet?"... Why is it that people when they talk to me that that is the first question out of their mouths??? No I do not have a boyfriend... Then they proceed to ask me oh how come??? Really??? Is it that hard to believe that a woman does not see the need for a man to constantly be in her life???

No I don't have a boyfriend yet... No I don't care that I don't... I am enjoying doing things for me for once and not having to worry about what my significant other might think of what I am doing or wearing or where I am going or who I am hanging out with... It is a nice feeling having this kind of freedom... I am really enjoying myself for the first time in a long time... I do not have a NEED to have a boyfriend... If it happens it happens but it is not something that I have been trying for... I mean I spent 3 years and 9 months with a "man" that probably barely deserved to go a full year with me let alone nearly 4 years so sorry if me enjoying being single is a hard concept to grasp...

Another thing that also has been driving me a little bananas is that people keep thinking that I am dating my room mate... no i am not dating him and i am not dating ANYONE at the moment... why is it that when a guy and girl have an apartment that they share people think that they have to be more than friends... What is with people??? I think that guys and girls can be friends... actually I know that they can because a good majority of my friends are guys... Why is it that people find it odd for a guy and girl to be just friends or for a girl to not care if she has a boyfriend or not??? Honestly people this is NOT the 1950's anymore...

Sorry for the rant... I hate ranting about stuff like this but sometimes you just need to purge what drives you crazy... That is what I did... My next blog should not be so ranty next time...

Good for you lady!! Don't let people get you down! Lots of guys and girls are just friends or roommates, even in popular culture (look at Zack and Miri make a porno , Joey and all the ladies on Friends, Will and Grace, etc. ). I think it's so weird that with all of these examples, both in pop. culture and in the real world, that people can't believe that two people can share an apt. without sharing more, or that a woman can be happy being single.

That said, I'm happy for you. Be happy for yourself too! :)

So, do you have a boyfriend yet? or are you and your roommate together?
