What’s wrong with being single?

“You need to get a boyfriend.” I can’t help but stare in absolute astonishment at the guy who said that. I didn’t know how to react; I didn’t know what to say. I just stared at him with this uncomfortable silence between us. Then I giggled. Phew! That lifted off the tension in the air. What was going through his mind? Do I look like some damsel in distress who needs a knight in shining armour to rescue me? Well, maybe some firing in the base might help. But the fact is I don’t think I have the time and energy to maintain a relationship. I think that’s the most important problem. I am someone who needs a lot of personal space and time, and I realize I'm a bit too independent as well. Then again, I have to tendency to freak out and transform into this crazy bitch who nit picks at eveything any guy who shows interest. But I'd usually make exceptions for cute guys ;)

This is not exactly my anthem, but the lyrics are really fantastic:

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me

(Cos I'm happy where I am)

Don't depend on a guy to validate me

(No no)

I don't need to be anyone's baby

(Is that so hard to understand?)

No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't

I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]

This is my current single status

My declaration of independence

There's no way I'm tradin' places

Right now a star's in the ascendant

Sure, you’d hear me complaining of not having someone to hug and care for me and all that stuff (especially during some days, when the moon is full….), but deep down inside, I’m just not sure about the whole thing. I’ve seen couples who reminisce about the good old days of being single, and singles who are desperate to get hooked up with someone that they’d trade sex for love. Of course there are still the minorities who really live happily ever after, but how often do you see cases like this?

Maybe I’m just afraid, or maybe the right guy hasn’t shown up yet. I don’t know. Time will tell. Hopefully. Fingers crossed :)
