I'm entirely addicted to this Michael Buble` song. It's just wonderful. It gives me so much hope. And these days, hope is hard to come by.
So, everyone has that single friend who they try to set up but, they're too picky and nothing ever works out.
Well, let me tell you a bit about what it's like to be that girl.
And how to overcome feeling sorry for yourself & learn to love the single life & how your friends can make things work better for you.
So, let's talk about set ups. No matter how good your intentions are, setting up your single friend to go on a double date, or worse a blind date is just not a good idea. Things tend to be super awkward, and forced, and the pressure is just unbearable. It's nice that you want to do that, but, maybe a better approach would be to invite both people to a large group setting and just see what happens from there.
Third wheel situations are no fun either. And, if you invite me out, and I say no, let's just leave it at that. No need to go into the whole "I'll be a third wheel" with the inevitable reply of "no, you won't" because, let's face it. I will. Personally, I think it's way more fun to just do a girls night. which brings me to:
Going out with your single friend. Some basic guidelines: don't talk about your boyfriend all night, it's really off-putting and just frankly annoying; don't talk TO your boyfriend all night, texting, calling, what have you, it's just another way for your single friend to feel like the third wheel.
Okay, now, how am I so okay with being single?
When you're single, you tend to be far more productive, focused on your own goals, you don't have to fight over what to watch on tv when you're just chilling out, you always get your favorite take-out, you can go in single rider lines at theme parks and cut all the paired up people. You've really got it made.
And, I've come to terms that I've got high standards and I haven't met the right person yet. I'm okay with waiting. Because I know that God has made me someone so wonderful, and I'm guessing he's holding on to him for me because I'm not ready for him yet. But, I know what whenever I do fall in love, it will be with someone totally amazing. And way way worth it.
And then all the double dates will begin. =]
So, listen to the words in the song, watch the adorable video, gawk at the hotness that is Michael Buble` and keep on loving.
