Dear Yenta,I have a nice family, plenty of caring friends, a cat, a nice apartment...but no special someone. I have a good job too! I am getting lazy now, spending time alone, enjoying wine, watching baseball games. Should I be worried that I am not "out there" instead of enjoying my couch??
Dear Getting Lazy Now:
No you should not be worried since you sound content, enjoying your couch. The special someone would only enhance your couch life and if you need enhancing, or figure you want to leave the option open, then perhaps you should sign up for eharmony. You can relax and take a look every now and again to see if they find someone who you would leave your wine, couch and baseball games to meet.
Bottom line, the single life does not receive sufficient credit as a viable, successful, honorable and satisfying LIFESTYLE CHOICE for women. Marriage is great if it's with the right person, torture if it is not. Dipping your toe in the couplehood pool is fine from time to time, and success is more likely if it is not urgently demanded. That's just the way it goes it seems.
Too much togetherness can be trying and gross, independence is a marvelous quality. You go girl. The Yenta
