“Women fall in love when they get to know you. Men are just the opposite. When they finally know you they're ready to leave” ― James Salter

In my unwanted and abrupt travel through singlehood, my focus has been finding a man- a relationship.  I have been on and off the dating sites for the past 1 1/2 yrs.  
Results: Poor
Don't get me wrong, I have met some interesting men. Men that were beyond sweet, beyond appealing and many, many men that were beyond forgettable. In my attempts to meet men, I started joining groups: activity groups, singles groups, and women's groups.  An interesting thing happened, I met some people, but not men.  I met some great women.  I met fascinating, successful, attractive, smart and super fun women.  I have had more fun with these women in the past month than I have had on most of my dates the past 1 1/2 yrs.
And mama needs to have fun.  
I have been in my bubble even through the dating...afraid of to be open, to be real, to be myself but not with these women.  I can be insecure, clumsy, crazy, quiet and it's okay.  Now, That is Awesome.  
Results: Excellent
Isn't that what it's about, finding people that accept you for you? So, in my attempts to live the beautiful life, here's to the women! You rock!
