> I was wondering what you all think of the following:
>
> 1) What would be your best advice about how to find that one person?
be yourself> 2) Do you believe being single is unnatural?
it is a part of life> 3) Do you believe one can make it work with a broad range of people if he/she tries?
only to an extent- you have to have the same core values- and only you can decide what those are> 4) At what age do you think a person should give up trying?
never- unless you want to> 5) If one hasn't met that certain someone, do you think moving to a metropolis where there would be a greater chance of meeting someone is a wise decision or desperate?
Not desperate if you would be comfortable being yourself in a metropolis.> 6) Do you think some people are meant to be single?
not for the whole of their lives- I think it is important to know love as part of life's process.> 7) What do you recommend for someone who, in her late twenties, hasn't been in a serious relationship?
late twenties is nothing. Frankly I'd be more suprised if you'd HAD a meaningful relationship by then. You and your potential mates have a few years yet of maturing before you are capable of a meaningful relationship!>
> As you can see, I am feeling crazily insecure about my singleness right now. Please help by answering these questions. Also, this discussion might be interesting for others too.I think all of us are a little insecure while single. I also think that this is because for so long, society has frowned upon anyone not seen as monogamous (ie; singles!). Lighten up on yourself- worry lines will mark your young, vibrant face!!
