Happy new year!!

Hi everyone and happy new year! I am single again and am enjoying it, for now.

I had 2 boyfriends and there were a few similarities... their names started with "J" and were cheap, but in different ways. Boyfriend #1 was just cheap in general. He kept the "Entertainment Book" on his dashboard. Yes, you read correctly... on his dashboard!! When we went out, he would consult his book. I wish I was kidding, but I'm not. Boyfriend #2 was cheap in a different way. I lost my job in the end of June, and we were dating for 1 month. He got angry that he had to pay for everything. He failed to realize the man usually pays AND that I have limited income because of no job.

This afternoon, something important about love "dawned on" me. Singles should not search for love. Before you tear your hair out, let me explain. How do we know, for certain, who is right for us? Each of us has guidelines about what we consider important in a partner and that's good. But we may accept someone who meets some of our guidelines, but not all. All of us deserve someone who fits all our guidelines! When you stop looking, it's a guarantee the right person for you will come along.
