The eternal question...

Good afternoon people! I am going to go off topic this afternoon. This blog will not be about travel or photography but about a question I get asked a lot. Liz, "why are you single?" Actually was just asked 5 min ago.

Now, I have been single for about 6 years. I had a long term relationship form age 18-25 since then I was in a short lived, live in, situation with a complete A-hole and have dated more A-holes after that. I am at the age where all my friends are now married with children.  YES, I have been in 13 weddings. Now I just tell my friends that I will do their pictures. Rather be behind the lense then in another bridesmaids dress.

Being single has it's perks. I can come and go as I please, spend my money at will, and pretty much do what ever I feel like doing! Honestly, it would be nice to have someone there to witness my life but I am doing ok alone, that is what best friends are for.

Anyway, the question "why are you single?" comes up a lot by strangers, friends, family, pretty much anyone I meet. Back in the day I didn't think much about it but it is getting old. I am going to do a little venting...

The reasons why I am single

1. I haven't found the right person: why am I going to date just anyone?
2. I will not settle! This may lead to a lonely life.
3. Meeting people in your 30's isn't easy. It isn't like college or high school where you are forced to interact and met new people

My reasons are simple. I am not picky but I will not get into a relationship just to do it because everyone is doing it. When I meet the guy that I get along with and share common interest with, then I may consider being in a relationship. Until then, cheers to being single and having the eternal question asked over and over again.  Thanks for allowing me to vent for a minute. This may happen on occasion
