From never minding being single at all, the fact that I was spending most of my time at singles events made me feel permanently, terminally single. The more singles events I went to... the more I felt as if I was getting further and further away from actually meeting someone.

Few things in life are as hard as a break-up. Having your heart broken is not for wimps. Yet everyone will go through it at some point. Being left by someone you love will leave you bereft, but you will survive.

My friend told me the other day that he approaches relationships with pessimism. When I asked him what he meant, his reply was, 'How many relationships have you seen succeed? The odds are stacked for failure'. He said this as he sat on my bed, topless and twiddling my hair...when I say my friend, I mean the guy I'm currently dating.

The thing with friendships is that they level out. They stay still for years and exist as a given. That is the nice thing about them, they just 'are'. You come and go from them, spending time together but then spending time apart and it just remains as is.
