My mother keeps badgering me to find a girlfriend, and I respond honestly that I’m not interested. As a twenty-seven year old single guy, if you are a younger man who is disappointed in having a lack of a relationship, don’t be. Most of my peers are all married and having kids and they’re clearly stressed out most of the time. Me, I’ve got a decent job and money in the bank with free time to spare. There are an alarmingly high number of single moms I could easily date but that’s not for me. The girl I was close with in high school that I mentioned in an earlier post is now a single mother with a busy career. The baby daddy was a party-goer jock who simply didn’t have any direction in life job-wise so she left him. I can guarantee she is not happy with the decisions she’s made and I don’t want any part of that insanity. Having said that, I do have peers that are in healthy relationships, so I’m not going to openly discourage anyone from being in one should you find the right person.
