"My money is on that you can't, so please don't be insulted."

Ok, so...

I'm very happy to say that after a few days of feeling like I had nothing to write about...actually, let me rephrase that...nothing I COULD write about (because everything seemed to give away too much of someone's personal life), a friend said something to me today that immediately screamed blog entry. She said "what is up with boys wanting to be single these days?" And seriously? What the $&#% is up with that? I have numerous friends going through similar situations...well, not similar...but the type of thing where it all boils down to someone wanting to keep their options opened? I even feel like I'm going through that in my own life as I blithely try to maneuver my way through someone else's obstacle course - this person is trying to give me a run for my money, and he is succeeding...but anyway, I digress. That isn't the point I'm really trying to get at.

It seems like every guy out there right now thinks that there is something better then what is standing right in front of him. You know,  that whole "there's lots of fish in the sea" thing? And gentleman, if you can truly, honestly tell me that this all comes down to something else entirely, I'll be the first one waiting to hear your explanation...but my money is on that you can't, so please don't be insulted. A friend of mine once had that happen to her. She had been with her boyfriend since high school, and when they got to university he wanted to see what else was out there. Well, he did his thing...and you know what? There wasn't anything better. He begged for her back, and eventually (after she made him work...HARD) he got her. They are still together today.

Now, I'm definitely not saying that this is how things always work...and fellas? I don't blame you for wanting to be sure or not wanting to settle down just yet. I really don't. I just don't get why there is such a blooming trend this area all of a sudden. There are always going to be guys (and girls) going through this phase...but ALL of you? At the same time? It seems a little extreme doesn't it?

Maybe this is why I don't really believe that human beings are meant to be a monogamous race? And no. That is not me justifying cheating. I just think that is why it takes so much work for so many couples to stay married...but this in itself is whole other topic. I'll save that for another day!
