Why?
Why is anyone still single? Why is the singles “community” growing when most people agree (at least in public) that the objective is marriage? Deena mentioned the “bitza family” ties as a possibility in her post on subconscious rejection – and research has been done on kibbutz-style living that there isn’t much intermarriage among people who grew up together. Any real anthropologists out there?
At least one commenter said she doesn’t think the community is the reason why people stay single. Do you have any ideas? Theories? Feel free to blast this blog post with your comments – you can even “e-shout” in capital letters if you like!
Do you think it’s because there are no good guys out there? Because girls expect too much? Guys expect too much? Parents expect too much? Do you think it’s fear of commitment? Do you think it’s fear of closeness?
We have all kinds of ideas and theories, we’ve already shown you some of ours – now show us some of yours!
Why is anyone still single? why indeed…
well let’s think for a minute, if you’re single, as in never been married before then maybe you just did not find the right guy, that doesn’t mean he is not coming, it just means you haven’t met him yet… :-)
As a divorcee I can say, the answer to that one, at least for me, is that with kids, job, housework and just “stuff” its not easy to find time to go out and if we do we feel the guy needs to be “worth it” maybe fussiness I guess would be the answer?…..
Are there any good guys out there, WELL that’s a whole different discussion…. :-)
I think that people are scared of the “happily ever after”. They think that this decision will make or break the rest of their lives. Don’t think so far into the future. Think whether you like the person, want to be with them and then take it day by day. Life is full of surprises. Every day I learn to live anew.
