Happy & Alone

Dear Journal,

I'm in love with myself. 

When I asked my girlfriends about my blog, they all said they are big fans of my Dear Journal posts. According to them, I should share more of my personal life (especially my love life). 

So here I am. Wondering what to write... 

Okay, let's start from the beginning.  My status. Yes, I'm single. It seems to be that in every social situation, I'm asked the dreaded question: "Do you have a boyfriend?" As always, I smile and respond: "No, I'm single." Then come the awkward responses. 

• Maybe you're too picky - True. I want to meet someone that I have things in common with. Someone whom I'm attracted to and who is a good person. Why would I want to go out with someone who does not meet the criteria?
• Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find someone soon - Gee thanks, because that's what I need to hear.
• You don't need a boyfriend, they are more trouble than they are worth - Yeah, that's easy for you to say. You're the one in a relationship. 
• Live it up while you can - I already do!! But really, thanks for the advice.
• If you're online dating: Maybe you need to try meeting people in person.  
• But then, if you're trying to meet people in person: Maybe you need to try online dating. Seriously, it's so annoying how non-singles always assume that we don't know what we're doing. I know what I'm comfortable with and what works for me. 

And the BEST one: How is it possible that a girl like you is single? Seriously, if I knew, I'd already have a boyfriend! Once again, I'd rather be alone than with someone who is wrong for me. 

How on earth are you supposed to answer to these questions!!!
