For a while I have thought about writing a blog about my life as a single girl in her thirties and today I finally pulled my finger out and decided to put my thoughts down on screen.

I guess there have been many times in my life when I have needed a ‘release’ from the struggles of living the single life when everyone around me is getting married and having kids. What better way to release these frustrations but out on screen for all to see?! In all seriousness though, I am hoping that writing down these thoughts will help myself and other people out there who are feeling as lost as I am. I guess you could see this as an open diary.

When I was younger, I had my life all planned out (like most of us in our teenage day dreaming years)…the plan was to fall in love and have kids by the ripe age of 28. 28!! I am now 34 and am nowhere near fulfilling that expired plan.

Growing up in my teens, 20’s, 30’s, I had the best time going out and socialising with friends. The only thing was that I always found myself getting upset at the fact that they could get boyfriend after boyfriend, yet I couldn’t even get one. Sure, I might be chatted up here and there, but these guys were not my type at all or they were just acting wingman while their mate chatted up my friend. Now, my friends would always say that I was too fussy, but I have always and still do stand by the fact that I am not fussy but I know what I do want and don’t want from a relationship so would prefer not to waste time with someone who wasn’t right for me. I have always thought I was quite a good judge of character and if my instinct tells me it’s not right, then that’s what I will go with.

I have seen friends date guys who were not right for them and would just plod along until another guy came along and so they end up dating lots of guys before they find ‘the one’. Don’t get me wrong, I can see how this can work for some people but it’s just not for me. I guess I can be quite an emotional person and I lust hard, so the thought of dating someone and it not working out over and over again is not something I would cope well with. Good on those who can dust it off and start again, I wish I was that hardy!
