I have some girlfriends with some amazing lives. To be honest...they are basically living the true American dream. They went to school, got good jobs, became productive members of society.
Some got married.
Some started a family.
Some are still single.
Being single in no way takes away from their life as they keep it moving and keep it entertaining. I love listening to their plans and catching up with them. Just touching bases as far as what's going on with them.
I was talking to a friend recently and, without a major announcement or sounding sad, etc. she simply stated..."I'm tired of being alone. I want to find somebody to spend my life with."
And I really didn't have anything I could add to that because it wasn't like she was upset and needed consoling. She was simply stating facts.
We continued on with the conversation about other stuff and when I got off the phone I sat back and thought about what she said and the WAY she said it. Matter-of-factly. Without dramatics. No bitterness. No tears. No...men-ain't-ish talk. None of that.
What do you do about that?
What do you do if you're single and your life is pretty great and yet...you're tired of being alone? You want someone to share your life with?
What do you do if you're the framily member of someone who feels this way?
