I am embarrassed to admit this but when someone emailed my sparse Match.com account, because I said my favorite hotspot is the Mountains, I responded.
He emailed back.
And then I realized something...
It was nice to get an email back. But it really did not matter. Because being single, with the benefit of the free babysitting provided by my (ex) husband, was really working for me. With someone regularly able to watch the kids, I have been able to get out and hike. To go out with a friend. To have a life. And I LIKE that I get to do what I want to do during that time and if I want to spend that time alone, I can.
This is why some people decided to not seek a relationship. I get it!
I feel liberated. I do not need a relationship.
Heck, right now I don't really want one. Okay, if my crush were to decide to ask me on a date I would say yes.
But I don't need to go looking. I can just do things I enjoy and see who I meet. I signed up for a hiking outing with a local meetup group. I figure I can meet fellow hikers to hike with. You can never have too many hiking buddies.
I am thrilled by this realization.
It feels good to feel good : )
