Do I care? Sure. Sometimes I do. Especially when I care for someone and it just doesn't work out because of distance or some other dumbass reason. But, at the end of the day I realize that I'm single because I choose to be, for the most part.<br /><br />I live in Bama, so I feel your pain about the Southern rules of being married before you're 30, and sorry, but I just don't have room for that rule in my life. When I find the person I'm supposed to be with, great- and I don't care if I'm 40 when that happens.<br /><br />Stupid hoes.<br /><br />lol :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176154553711002557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-46733128321556992462012-01-29T18:51:10.061-08:002012-01-29T18:51:10.061-08:00Ain't it crazy how people's lives clearly ...Ain't it crazy how people's lives clearly aren't as stressful as yours because they obbbbbviously have time to sit around and worry about your 27 y.o. self. You know? And you are right, people in the south are on a different clock. I'm 28 and married, but we don't have kids yet, and I am constantly reminded that I ain't gettin any younger. Thanks people.

I got married at 33 (last year), & I have never been happier! The difference between 20 & 30 is huge (not in size, but in your wisdom/experience) =)...so don't rush! Just because other people have these self-made "time-lines"...don't fall for that BS! "I will be married by 30 with 3 kids"...Can you say Kim K! You see how well it worked for her! Think about it...how many people do you know, your age...who were married, divorced & are single parents already? Don't let that happen to you. Take your time, live your life, and in God's time, not yours...it will happen. Let it happen. Just becasue you're taken, doesn't mean you're loved. NEVER forget that. One of my favorite quotes for you guys is..."Dear Girl, don't worry if you're single. God is looking at your right now saying..."I'm saving this girl for someone special". WAIT for the special one. ANYONE can meet someone & call him "the one", take your time & really LIVE it. Ok...sermon's over! =) Just makes me SO mad that everyone always bugs everyone! BIZNESS...MIND YOURS! And for the record...I'll have kids AFTER I enjoy my Husband for a minute...when I'm good & ready...now stop asking!!! =)Just becasue YOUR clock is ticking...get your own damn kid! =)HUGE hug to all of you & your AWESOME Single-ness! Now go out there & rule to world! =) XOVeronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926001257774027442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-91639957507725884012012-01-28T07:16:18.212-08:002012-01-28T07:16:18.212-08:00ahahaha my mom tells me to go on match.com, Thanks...ahahaha my mom tells me to go on match.com, Thanks but no thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-65700980970781519402012-01-28T05:32:04.918-08:002012-01-28T05:32:04.918-08:00Preach on sista , now if only my mom understood!Preach on sista , now if only my mom understood!ittybittywhittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03728536790659655886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-18430085973534537472012-01-27T22:11:54.325-08:002012-01-27T22:11:54.325-08:00One of my favorite posts you've written.

Up until 5 months a...Ohhhhh, I can relate to this. Up until 5 months ago I was single, and I turned THIRTY this past August, and although I live in San Francisco now, I am FROM THE SOUTH. So I get it . . . trust me. I've been to countless weddings, put on more bridesmaid dresses than I'd like to admit, and have celebrated the babies of almost all my closest friends. It's funny how sometimes you're totally okay with being single--you like your life, your independence, etc., and then other times it's bittersweet. <br /><br />I went through the same thing re: online dating. The thing is that EVERYONE out here in SF does it. Maybe it's a big city thing, maybe it's a west coast thing, I don't know. I finally signed up for okcupid a few years ago and went on dates with 5 dudes. Only one was horrific. But I get how you don't wanna do it now. Maybe in the future, maybe not. It's a great experience for some.<br /><br />Another good thing to remember (for you AND for me, as these woes don't cease when you get into a relationship, haha) is that people are settling down later and later, which I think is a really good thing! I babysit for 2 families out here, and both of them are much older than, say, EVERYONE I know down south who is currently procreating. The boys I take care of regularly--Milo and Jude--their mama is 41 and was almost 38 when she had Milo, 39 when she had Jude. That's been reassuring to me over the years!<br /><br />Fortunately for you, 27 is still YOUNG! And you're hot and funny. That will help out, too. :)Claire Kieferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794131643377703649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-42455945271663663322012-01-27T10:20:25.303-08:002012-01-27T10:20:25.303-08:00BB...

Sometimes it drives me crazy because I want to know... Like it seriously matters.

I don't, but I mean I'm still curious.<br /><br />That being said I don't know why anyone would want to rush into a relationship.

You'll never be ready when everyone else wants you to be - and that's perfectly OKAY! When it's right - you'll find him (via natural means or online) but only when you're ready for it - not when everyone else wants you to be. If you ever decide to take the leap and join the world of online dating (I read the other day that 40 MILLION people are on online dating - insane!) I'm always here for any advice you need along the way. In the meantime - enjoy the single life :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252597738894093458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833332489218334193.post-58194669333050274512012-01-27T06:08:09.467-08:002012-01-27T06:08:09.467-08:00You are hilarious.
