I have to admit, I was older when I really started taking relationships seriously. I never really gave it much thought as a young person. I Figured things just happened, right? You met a person, you dated a while, fell in love and everything worked out. However as the years passed I realized that the real world does not work that way. Only Hollywood and romantic novels work out that perfectly. Instead I found myself going from Relationship to relationship and wondering why I could never seem to find my special someone.
After much frustration I gave up. I just stopped dating for a few years. I figured that if I was going to be lonely and miserable I might as well be that way by myself, not compounded with someone else’s misery. This time alone helped me to clarify a few things in my life.
