Once you get engaged, it's 'when's the date', once you get married, it's 'when's the baby', and the list goes on and on. I still find the whole 'Guys are jerks' statement annoying too. Every guy can be a jerk with the wrong girl, and thusly, he can also be prince charming with the RIGHT girl. Fairytales do come true.

I've hardly ever been single - not that I was a total boyfriend jumper or didn't spend time being single - but I'll admit that if I wasn't attached, I had someone I was chasing or chasing me. This is great insight to what it's like being single at a time when a lot of our friends are partnering up. You are a great catch and will be for the right person. You have a great outlook on this single thing, even if it's not all the time. And I feel you on sharing money. That is a huge adjustment and its one thing that's great about my marriage. Shawn and I share money, but we also have our own bank accounts to with our extra money as we see fit.

At that time, I had still never even been on a date with a guy (I guess you could say I was a very late bloomer). I've been thinking a bit about blogging on this topic some time this month. I can't agree with you more. I got really annoyed with a friend last week when she texted me at work to bitch about some app for guys to text their SO's. She clearly had this very negative view of men, and I just wanted to tell her "they're not all jerks." There are plenty of non-jerks out there- you just have to find the one that's right for you (and try not to be a jerk to the wrong ones). I think it's best to remain optimistic.

A little Erin Fact - I haven't been single since I was 18 - I went from one serious relationship to the one with Trav. As you know we have struggled in the past and I honestly think it's b/c I was finding my adult self and in a marriage that just sometimes doesn't work.

Keep standing proud and being strong of who you are, because you are awesome. <br /><br />I remember my single days, wondering where my mister right was and it is exhausting. Now that I'm on the other side, I try so HARD to say the right things to my single friends, because I know there are things they are so tired of hearing.

Makes me so mad to think about how I was! So I think it's really awesome that you know who you are and what you want and your not willing to settle!
