You do rock! You are far more mature than your pathetic and pushy friend. And kinder. Anyone who REALLY has your best interests at heart will support you in what you want for yourself rather than call you out for being your own person. I’m older than you, but I remember having so-called friends like yours when I was in my twenties. The best thing about being single and 45 is having friends who are women and not girls.

I’m single too, and I’ve found that there’s a certain type of “friend” who is only your friend when she is between boyfriends. I tend not to maintain these friendships because even when I am with someone, I still don’t want my life to be the couples’ club. Maybe your friend is one of those people who feels threatened by single women. I’d feel sorry for her and not annoyed if I were you. She clearly has issues!

Stick to your guns, girl! Your friend who is pushing you is obviously either a) afraid you pose a threat or b) so insecure that she has to have a boyfriend around at all times so she doesn’t have to face herself. She obviously lacks your courage, self-assurance and self-knowledge.

Point number two is attractive.

Rock on Zandria.

The dreaded holidays…. :-)

Actually, I don’t dread the holidays and being single – rather, I dread the pity looks and remarks of others, assuming that I’m miserable beyond belief because I don’t have a significant other. In reality, I kind of like being single around the holidays…much less pressure!

I think a lot of it is people who are in relationships want everyone to be in a relationship, too. At least, I’ll admit… I was this way. But like you said…knowing we rock is completely all that matters. You could be with the best guy in the world…but if you don’t think you’re worth it, where’s the fun in that?
