I know I sound like Dr. Phil, but you need to get yourself in a target-rich environment to find dates. That doesn’t, of course, mean bar scenes and places YOU wouldn’t go, but it might be a good idea to pursue an interest you really enjoy where you can meet a wider group of people. Even a book club!

Babysitting might not be the vehicle for that. I am pulling for you – you are obviously intelligent, spiritual, and engaging – where are your potential partners going to find you??

When I was single, I never worried about being alone on a Friday night. Or any night. For me, I liked the fact that I wasn’t tied down like many of my friends were, with boyfriends or husbands. I was free to do whatever I wanted, go wherever I wanted, and didn’t have to worry about what the other person wanted to do.

And I always enjoyed staying home and reading.

Enjoy your free time. Once you have kids and a husband it ends.

I got the card in the mail on Monday!!! WOO HOO! LOL! I also added you to my blogroll so I could read and comment you! Thanks again for choosing me for the ice cream. :)

That’s a great attitude — take advantage of the free time instead of seeing it as a bad thing. You’re one smart cookie! :)

Still – better to be honest! I got married when I was 27 which was about 7-10 years after most of my friends, amazingly enough. Now I think that age is average although it wasn’t where I grew up. Many lonely times. But you have the right idea and one I wished I had taken more advantage of — pursuing what God has for YOU right now. And what He would like to give to others through you. Sounds like you are doing that which makes you a very admirable gal. =)

This probably won’t help much, but for what it’s worth, I have several aunts who didn’t meet their husbands until their late thirties/early forties.

It sounds like you have some great ideas for spending an evening alone. Reading is one of my favorites!

I used to love Friday evenings home alone. I’d run out to the store after work and complete any shopping/errands that I had to do, and then splurge on takeout and then just chill and watch television or read or paint my toenails.

I never got to feeling lonely until I had to spend Saturday night alone, too… :-) Two days in a row was just too much.
