Single life, the myth

If magazines and television shows are to be believed, being single and female is like a long, drunken day at Disneyland. And in the magic shoe kingdom, you don’t walk the least bit funny in four-inch heels.

Single life, the reality

Being single today has very little to do with romantic weekend getaways, and a lot to do with doubt, fear, panic, insecurity, self-loathing, boredom, frustration, and mewling on the phone to anyone who will listen.

Marriage

Why tie the knot, when you can simply leave the rope slung casually over your throat?

Optimism

Some day your prince will come. And if he doesn’t, some other dude will.

Optimism, desperate

If it weren’t for so-called “bad” relationships, many of us would have no relationships at all.

Self-blame

Love is a nightmare of compromise and generosity. Still, when it goes wrong, when it fails to appear, or when it comes home blind drunk at three A.M. and pees on the bed, we experience disappointment and a crushing sense of failure.

Flexibility

Luckily, relationships are nonbonding and therefore marvelously flexible. If you find that you have accidentally committed to the wrong person, you may scrap the commitment and commit again with total impunity.

Standards

A general rule of thumb when it comes to looking for love in the modern world is to stop being so picky.
