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!

Real Talk.. Single for the Holidays...

Real Talk... Single for the Holidays..

Have you been dating?
Are you seeing anyone?
When are you getting married?
Do you want children?

How many of you get these questions from your family members around the holidays or at anytime for that matter? I am fortunate to not have to endure this from my family. I do get it from the occasional acquaintance and well meaning friends. Although I sometimes daydream about what the holidays will be like once I am married with children, I am content knowing how fortunate I am to be able to spend the holidays with my family!

How do you feel during this time of the year? Is it more difficult to be single during the holidays? If so, what types of things do you do to make it easier?
