I apologize ahead of time for the whining, but... everyone around me is getting married or pregnant. And, at a certain point, it really starts to grate on me and I just need to vent a bit (thank you in advance for listening).
Just to name a few:
My coworker - married, just had her first baby
My ex-coworker (an alcoholic and professionally inappropriate dresser) - pregnant
Guy I went on a date with some time ago - married
Guy I went on a date with after the first guy, see above, - married
It's not as though I was in my 20s and this is happening but, in a couple of years, I'll be 40 - wtf. I give up. I've kept myself open to opportunities. I've done the online thing, I've gone out with coworkers just because there might be a very small chance of meeting someone (friend of a friend thing), I've been setup with other peoples relatives, I've tried to make conversation with people. All to no avail. Of course, as I write this...I guess it must be me. I don't find myself to be a horrible person, I think quite the opposite. If any of my family or friends (y'know the ones I see once a year) every asked for anything, I'd be more than happy to help. I'm not mean or rude to people. I believe in kindness (heck I even donate to local charities). But here I am, alone, undesirable and invisible to the rest of the world. Guess it really is me.
ugh.
