Single City Guy was an idea rattling in my head for a few months. I set up the domain, e-mail addresses, even a WordPress account and left it to simmer. My single life has been a long string of crazy and interesting stories shared with close friends over drinks. Many of these tales I was afraid and ashamed to admit. I was frustrated by being single in New York City, it’s really hard to talk to friends (who don’t care about being single or happily with someone) about the craziness that goes on in my single life. Sometimes I feel as if I’m preaching to the choir, other times sympathizers, but more often than not on deaf ears. I love my friends, but we share tales to get it off our chest and chuckle over what happened during drinks. Afterwards I go home frustrated, alone and wanting to scream at the top of my lungs at the fate that was handed to me. A fucked up singles life.
So a month ago I acted on this idea, detailing my single life, my thoughts about being single, and now I wish I’ve done this sooner. Not only has my life as a single improved, the sharp pain that is singledom feels a bit dull. Who would have thought that I would have learned so much, met so many awesome people and feel better about being single in only the first month? I didn’t.
So a month has passed of what is going to be many, many months and I hope you’ve been enjoyed reading so far! I really appreciate your comments, suggestions and helpful insight. There’s plenty more to come!
