Remember, when you are single, it doesn’t mean you need to feel ashamed. Whether you are, or are not, in a relationship doesn’t say anything about who you are as a person.

The holidays bring a lot of pressure to the single person. Finding a date for the office party, and just concern about being alone for the holidays can be emotional. The kiss at midnight on New Years, becomes a symbol of somehow being back on top, in control of your life and lovable. I was using those random nameless guys to build myself up and the moment never really matched my romantic expectations.

“no thanks… one night stands are like having a Chinese food. It will leave you hungry an hour later.”

Now you might think its easy to find someone with all these singles living in one spot right? Well think again; one person described it to me this way... Imagine you are at a big mall with thousands of people there at one time, how many of those people do you think you would get to meet personally and how many would you actually want to date?

Make the decision to move on and leave the past behind, no matter what it is or how “wronged” you felt you were.

it's about being more comfortable being single... being “labeled” as SINGLE, and realizing its not that bad.

Being single shouldn't be a reason to feel blue however, and neither should Valentine's Day. Instead of letting this mostly commercially-fueled holiday drag you down, why not celebrate being single?

To go out alone comfortably, you need to put the stereotypes at the back of your mind. It does not mean that you are a loner, desperado or a loser. You are a liberated single person. It may look or sometimes feel awkward but prepare to go out and have fun just like you would have done if you had company.

What you think about ~ you bring about! FEELINGS then attached to your thoughts then fuel it. Let is go…any negative beliefs you may have, work everyday toward being Grateful for what IS going well in your life, and what you do have. Say YES to life and LIFE says YES to you!

Perhaps it would have been a good idea to leave "Kirk" with the impression you are interested. But its a fine line- between flirting and being too overbearing.

So go ahead ladies, take some initiative when some man interests you. Maybe by doing that you will stand out from the crowd!

Yes we women from Venus do congregate much more then the men from Mars.We go to the bathroom together, feel the need more urgently then the men to go to events together....

Holidays bring a lot of pressure to the single person. The kiss at midnight on New Years, becomes a symbol of somehow being back on top, in control of your life and lovable.

Problem is people can actually become addicted to online dating, its like window-shopping with an endless supply of merchandise.

I see women I would like to meet but am afraid to approach them because they never smile and sometimes even look angry. Am I doing something wrong? Or are all women on long island stressed out?
