When ever I hang out with old friends from college I always start to wonder what would have been if I was single throughout college. I know it was a very good experience for me. I was treated very well for the first two years even though he was a total ass to everyone else.
But also looking back I realize that there were other great people in my life and you have to ask... I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I explored that direction. So many people from college are married with kids, and I know I'm not even ready for that now, but why is it that the wildest folks are the ones that ended up settling down. Then there's the girls next door, and we are as single as ever.
It does give me some comfort thought that I have people that care about me and think as well... hmmm... I wonder how that would have turned out. Timing... it's all about timing. I can't seem to get that right either. Maybe I should ship myself off to northern California where I could jump in the arms of someone tall dark and handsom and get the attention I want from someone that really wants to give it to me.

Maybe the fact is: the "girls next door" don't settle down easily. They want to find the perfect person, and won't settle down with anyone else. So they'll keep looking, and thinking the timing is never perfect. Until one day, it actually will be. It's not like you're a gross old hag or anything :-P
