I was listening to words that touched my heart and have forever stayed in my head. This is what my mom said, repeatedly: “We have parents and friends who are always there for us and help us make some of the most important decisions in our lives. Like where to go to college, what house to buy, teaching us about manners, and how to become a respectable person. But when it comes to the one single most important decision we will ever make, choosing a significant other, most of us are on our own.”
Those words never left me through all my years of dating as I realized I really was alone and that my parents, sister, and closest friends were not sitting by my side to guide me or even pull me in the other direction when it came to love. There is so much truth in those words that I believe this is another reason we feel so alone when we are singe. It is really all up to us.
You know, I always thought I would find the perfect woman who met ALL the criteria on my list of “THE PERFECT woman.’ Yeah, it never happened and as I got older and dated more, I realized that it was not about settling when it comes to dating, but about “Does this woman meet most of the important criteria on my list of the woman I want to make a life with?”
