"So, are you seeing anyone?" I was asked this question for the umpteenth time this week. And, as usual exasperatedly I gave my "single-and-loving-it" speech. What's the big deal about being single? Why Pity me? For Heaven’s sake I am just 20. How many times my friends and family love to set me up with blind dates (and we all know how satisfying those are).


Oh dear, Bridget Jones Syndrome alert!

Why is being single obsessed over continually by society? So what if you don’t have someone to rant everything to. So what if you don’t have sex on a regular basis. So what if you don’t have a reason to shave your legs. So what if you’ll have to get out the vibrators more often. So what? I am very happy with my life. I do not "reject" relationships; I just don't go out looking for one. Sure, love can be a wonderful thing, but it's also super-complicated (just ask your bud who's buggin' about her BF 24/7).

It isn’t that men don’t interest me; it’s just that most of them cannot hold my interest for long. (I just get bored very easily.) When your expectations are high, disappointment comes easily.

By living the fabulous single life, I automatically cancel that inevitable guy-fueled drama out of my world. Did I mention being single equals unlimited flirting? Sweet!
Single life can be the most exciting time of your life. I can slump around the house in any old thing. I have to cope with not getting a huge phone bill at the end of the month. I can go out and flirt as much as my heart desires, without a worry in the world

I can finally see all the good videos – the romantic, cheesy films. I don't have to stroke the fragile male ego, and other things. I don’t check with someone to see if 'its okay' to tell someone yes or no to an invitation. I can accept on the spot. No one is going to get insulted if I spend the day at the beach checking out the lifeguards. (Winks!) I don't have to worry if he will or won't call. I can spend your paycheck on what you want. “No snoring.” I am forced to enjoy and give an episode of Grey’s Anatomy my undivided attention. It doesn’t seem to be all that bad.

So…….I'm Sexy and Single. Make your move if you want. Doesn't mean I will or won't.



"The best reason for being single is: Vibrators don't talk back, you can turn them off and on, and they don't stop until they are through serving their purpose."

I had forgotten about the message I had posted on your blog. Good to see your reply.

So who do you write for ? Just casual rumblings at the end of a tough day ?

I have always wanted to start a blog, but don't consider myself as gifted.

P.S. One reason I landed up at your blog was I am in Buffalo too.
