Chocolate is a girl's best friend

"Some love stories aren't epic novels, some are short stories. But, that doesn't make them any less filled with love."

Probably the only good thing to come out of the Sex and the City movie.

That aside... I've been a single woman for a few months now. It's taken up until a few weeks ago to really be O.K. with being single. It's like gaining and loosing weight. It's really easy to gain weight, as it is to fall into the pattern of a relationship. It's much more difficult to loose weight, just as it takes a lot more time and effort to get used to being alone. But I made it and I am on the prowl to find a new man. Though I have tons of theories about dating that I don't need to go into today. Here's the basic 411: I believe that the relationships that are meant to be, the ones that are going to last longer than 3 months, are the ones that develop on their own.

Call it a connection, spark, whatever, when you meet someone that you are truly compatible with, there is just something there. You can argue that if you want but I know it to be true because I've experienced it. Yes, being single is kinda lame. Scratch that, it down right sucks. I am the type of person that is made to be in relationships. I am looking for that one guy that I will, hopefully, spend the rest of my life with. Consequently, casually dating just doesn't do it for me. Since my adventure back into singledom, people have been "encouraging" about going out with different guys. Whether it be old friends or someone new that I meet. While I appreciate the concern for my love lacking situation, I keep reminding everyone that when it happens, it happens.

In the meantime I need to stop hanging out with so many of my guy friends (I love you all but you cramp my man-picking-up style) and will continue to eat lots and lots of chocolate.
