I don’t think I’m an older single, but the community I grew up in and my family definitely does. 😉
I’m single by choice, so that probably makes a difference. I have never dated anyone yet and said no to all suggestions. This is a very important stage for me, and I don’t want to forfeit it until I have done what I want to accomplish and am ready to move on to the next stage.
I am very happy, and appreciate the chance I have to develop and explore myself without having another person in the picture.
I moved out of my parents house and moved to Israel, a place I love with all my heart. I live in a beautiful neighborhood I love which has a lot of other singles.
I have an awesome career which stimulates, challenges and rewards me.
I have great friends and we have good times together.
I do some volunteer work which is meaningful to me.
I take courses every now and then, and have discovered new passions.
I have friends who hate being single. I have friends who have done all kinds of incredible things they would not have been able to do if they were married. I think that making sure your life is meaningful, staying connected with people who are good for you, and doing things you enjoy and find fulfilling is very important. There are so many opportunities singles can take advantage of precisely because they’re single.
