Why Am I Single?

Why Am I Single?

Why am I single? A question that does get thrown in my direction (thank goodness not excessively). Cause it's a question that I don't really have an answer for. Now this might sound like I'm boasting on myself, but at times there's nothing wrong with stating how awesome you are, so here it is. I'm a Damn good woman and I don't know why I'm single! Some may say that I'm too picky. They're welcome to their opinion but, I respectfully disagree. Do I have standards? Absolutely! Not materialistic standards, but intellectual and moral standards to say the least. I try not to let the question bother me. At least not often, cause I know my self worth isn't tied to any man. Buuuttttt... it would be nice to have a man that I'm head over heels for, who would love nothing more than to have me as his partner.

Unfortunately for a woman my age, having never been married and with a child; is viewed as what? Complicated! Seriously?!

So let me get this straight. An intelligent, gainfully employed, mature, no "baby daddy" drama, no daddy issues, loyal woman who can cook is complicated? Or is that a pathetically disguised "it'll be too Damn hard to run game on her" excuse?

Sometimes it feels like I'm past the expiration date on my love life. Don't get me wrong. I can still turn a head or two. I get "approached" with lines that may bring a smile to my face, yet somehow in the guys mind is supposed to magically part my thighs. I mean Damn! Does my age exclude me from gentlemanly courtship? As if I'm an old stale box of Cracker Jack with the prize long gone. 

I deserve to have a man that can look at me with forever in his eyes and with honorable intentions. A man that can remember why he loves me, when I'm behaving like a perfect storm. A man that see the beauty of my soul. Knowing my cons are far less than my pros. Without any doubts know that even when my opinion differs from his at times, my loyalty is never wavering. 

So if I'm single for knowing what I deserve and not settling for less. Single is what I will stay.
