It has been about 15 years since I have officially started dating – otherwise known as hanging out or being single and ready to mingle.

Although my girlfriends and I grumble about the pure agony of dating, I must say that we mostly have more laughs than frowns. It is certainly something that I think every young person should get to experience for themselves prior to settling down with that one special person, if for nothing more than for the sheer hilariousness of it all. That’s why I started this blog.

Here I want people to be able to talk about their "single experience"... the good, the bad and the ugly! I know we will share a few gasps, some chuckles, some boos and cheers but most of all I hope we can uplift each other through this process and just have some plain old fun with it. Anyone can share their two cents, if you're single, married 30 years or are a newlywed.

If you are interested in being a regular contributor on the blog, contact me at singlejustlikethat@gmail.com and I will be glad to add you. Keep in mind, that this isn’t used to insult or hurt anyone, so please by all means use alternate names to protect the innocent! HA

Check out the First Post, "Just Like That...." to understand how I came up with this name!

Happy Posting!

Here are some of the responses from yesterdays post on Facebook!


Call me old-fashioned but, a marriage proposal should be initiated by a man not a woman. I do understand that we are living in a society where things are constantly changing. I do not frown upon women who takes the lead in terms of proposals but, I would not do it.

Though I'm old fashioned and would have a man propose, I'm not totally against a woman doing it for the right reasons. I think many women do it for the wrong reasons, which is why I don't agree with it. The common reason is because they all... say I can't wait for him so I'm goin for mines. The real question she needs to asks is why hasn't he done it? Why is he taking so long? He may not be ready, or has a reason why he DOESN'T want to get married, its the big elephant a lot of women don't want to see. Most of them are too caught up in the idea of marriage, or maybe even wedding to see it. And also I feel there are some things that should be left to a guy. If he loves you enough to propose, its going to be his pleasure to propose to you right. Don't take that joy away from the man.
