Determined!

Tonight I was doing a little bit of FB investigating and stumbled upon someone who I think is attractive. Well, I noticed that person is now in a relationship. It listed the name of the girl and a link to her FB profile. Since I was pretending to be Sherlock Holmes , I decided I wanted to see what kind of girl this guy is into. I was also seeing if I could fit the criteria. Here are some features we had in common:

1. Dark hair

2. Straight teeth

Okay, we only had dark hair and straight teeth in common. This girl had long straight hair, really toned body, low cut v-neck sleeveless shirts, green eyes, and a confident air about her. I don't know what his intentions are for the relationship. It's not really my business. I do realize I've lost my opportunity though!

I titled this blog entry determined. This is not because I'm determined to kick this girl out of his life and try harder to move on in, but I'm beginning to realize what men are looking for in women. One thing is CONFIDENCE. I need to boost mine, for sure! This is probably 1 (of many) reasons I didn't have a chance. So, I'm determined to work on my confidence. One way I'm working on my confidence is by trying to lose weight. If you feel good, it rubs off in your personality.

Until next time-- Singleite

25 years and counting...

The intro to this post is going to sound a lot like my first one, but I started writing 2 blogs and didn't end up posting until today.

Hello! I'm going to be writing about my life as a singleite. I've been this way for 25 years and counting, so I figured, what better way to cope with it by blogging about it! Am I bitter about being single? Not on most days. Valentine's day is quickly approaching and for the first time in my life, I'm not dreading it! Maybe it's maturity, maybe it's my students who I've grown to love, or maybe . Maybe my students have distracted me from longing for a "life mate" as my grandparents call it. I've recently told my students I'm excited about Valentine's day because it is the "Day of Love". It's funny for me to hear my kids laugh when I say that. I can honestly say I'm happy with where I am as a single person. I'm finally accepting the fact that I'm single. I'm ready to conquer the world without a man to hold me back! However, if one comes along, I have no problem with him joining in on the fun! I've started to travel. Traveling is a lot of fun. I cannot just sit here and wait for a man to come along. I have to live life. I hear that's when single people tend to find their "life mate". I say life mate because I'm not sure if it's only women reading this and just saying "husband" would be bias. Being single and not looking for someone to spend my life with is NOT going to consume my time right now. I'm going to focus on God, family, friends, and FUN! G.F.F.F. is what it should be called!

I'm editing this blog and publishing it after the commonly dreaded (amongst singleites like myself) VALENTINE'S DAY!!! DUM DUM DUM! It was the first time in my life where I wasn't sad, depressed, needing a drink, et cetera, about being single! I think being a teacher helps me, a lot, in this department. I feel so much love from my students every day, that I can't help but be excited for Valentine's day! Even though Valentine's day is a marketers dream day, I did not object this year!

Anyhoo, I'm going to finish working on other work. Have a nice week.

Signing out. Singleite

Post 1

Here goes nothing. I was just thinking of ideas to blog about. I've decided to blog about my life as a single person. Yes. I am 25 and yes, I am single. Big shock? I think not. Well today my grandparents were having a talk with me about my future life mate. When people bring the subject up I often begin to tune them out only because it kind of makes me sick... Well, I actually listened this time. My grandparents opinion is one that I really value. Well, their grand advice was to make sure when I'm looking at my future husband's character, make sure to watch how he interacts with others. If he values others before himself, it will mean he is not a selfish person. If, when we are courting, he showers me with gifts and ooh's and ahh's me, et cetera, I can't let that distract me from the reality of how he interacts with others. I completely agree with this. I didn't even think about this before they talked about it. If he is treating me like a queen while we're courting and I am blind to him not caring for others, the relationship is on a road to disaster. Be aware ladies, of how your future husband or guy you're dating is treating other people. Chances are, if he values them, shows compassion towards them, et cetera, then he'll do the same for you and your relationship. Until next time, this is the 25 year old singleite, signing out!
