Minor Rants....

Lately, I've been having conversations with some single friends of mine who seem to view their being single as a "problem" or even worse a "curse". Maybe when I was in my early 20's, it was really such a big deal with me that I didn't have a boyfriend. However, the older I get, being single is becoming the most appealing state of life for me.

I guess it's a common phenomenon that the more you get to know yourself better, the more you realize you don't need anyone to give your life meaning. The more you experience being completely independent, the less likely it becomes for you to want to give up your freedom. Plus, the more mature you become, the less likely you will be patient with the typical straight guy's insecurities. There are much more important things to do in life than to feed 1 man's ego.

5 Things I Will Never Do in My Life for a Relationship:

(Note: Items # 1-4 are things I've already done in my early 20's and strongly hope never to repeat again. Item # 5 is something I absolutely have no intention of getting into.)

1) Give up something I am passionate about in order to make my relationship work.
2) Subvert my true character in order to keep a guy happy.
3) Settle for some dork just because he's convenient or available.
4) Pretend to be happy even if deep inside, I really just want to kill him already.
5) Marry some stupid insecure weenie guy who's probably just going to cheat on me the first chance he gets.

5 Characteristics That Will Make Me Date A Guy:

1) He's really funny.
2) He's really smart.
3) He's decent-looking without being gay.
4) He's nice.
5) He's secure with himself and doesn't feel a great need to be better than me.

5 Reasons Why I Refuse to Date Anyone At This Point in My Life:

1) I'm currently unemployed. Therefore, I need to focus my energies on finding a career track that will make me happy.
2) I have no intentions of staying in the Philippines forever. I plan to move again someday and would definitely like to avoid any potential complications.
3) I easily get bored with men these days.
4) I don't like the idea of someone asking me questions like where I am, who I'm with or what time I'm going home.
5) I just haven't met any guy with whom I have any chemistry with.
