I'm a Single Lady
Summer love! Walking on the beach with your significant other, cute dates to random chain restaurants in the area so other people can see how freaking adorable you look, texting them romantic emoticons with such phrases like, "ily", "love ya, babe *muah*", and the occasional "OMG I MISS YOU BABY EVEN THOUGH I JUST SAW YOU LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO BUT I CAN'T STAND A SECOND AWAY FROM YOU! LET'S GET MARRIED AND NAME OUR FIRST KID WITH A COMBINATION OF OUR FIRST NAMES! LOL!". Yes, in my mind this is how all of you "couples" act. But the one thing that pisses me off so much is when I try telling my friends, "*sigh* I wish I had someone to express my feelings with", and they respond, quoted from a few of my friends, "Ugh Ally, no you don't! They're not great at all. They're such a pain and I can't even stand him." Then an hour later they're all like, "OMG I TOTALLY LOVE MY BOYFRIEND! THEY MAKE ME SO FREAKING HAPPY!" Okay, seriously? Don't give me a b.s. answer like that and then act like a prissy, little girl around the rest of the world. I've never had the chance to act like that with anyone (okay, maybe a few times with guys who I liked).
I know I'm going to get a lot of shizz from people being like, "Um they're right, boys aren't all that. My boyfriend is so stupid and immature that it's like a chore just being with him." Well, if it is, then break up with them. Obviously you don't love them enough, and also too mature, to be with him if you don't want to work things out. "No, I love him. He's just being a boy." Then you need to grow up and deal with it. Don't go around saying things like that to other people and then going back on your word and changing up the story. It makes us single people pissed and, in fact, even more lonely. Oh, but my favorite line I hear everyone say is, "God, I wish I was single like you, Ally. No problems and you get to be your own person." Um no. You know what problems I have? When you all call me crying about how he's breaking your heart because now I have to either beat him up and try to comfort you in the best way possible. And look how many guys come asking to go on dates with me by being my own person. Oh wait, that's zero.
I'm not going to lie, I hate being single. But in reality, it's not that bad. Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands. I can "flirt" and go to places with my friends looking all cute without feeling like I would be cheating at any point during the night by looking at another guy. The thing that bothers me is I've never had any guy ever text me, "Good morning beautiful! Let's spend the day together!" or hold my hand in public, or tell me that he loves me in front of other people. It's little gestures like these that I wish I could just experience already. And I may have a romantic point of view, but I don't want a total romantic relationship. Instead of dressing up and going to an expensive restaurant, I'd rather go mini-golfing or bowling so we can laugh and mess around (not like that...). Or instead of going to the movies every single weekend, let's have a video game night at home and order Chinese food! I'm very easy going and don't even care if you hang out with your friends, just don't do anything stupid or hurt yourself in the process (which I know you will anyway, just saying). And proposal in the near future? All girls want their man to bring them to Paris, or some fancy place, and get down on one knee saying, "will you marry me?" so they can say, "Oh, *insert name here*! Yes!", and then put the ring on their little finger and kiss in the sunset. Bleh... Me? I want my future boyfriend to get a Pokeball with the ring inside, throw it at me so it hits me and opens up (without hurting the ring or me) and yelling "I CHOOSE YOU! BOYFRIEND USES PROPOSAL TACTIC!" from far away so then I can run up to hug and kiss him with the Pokeball in my hand and yell, "IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE!" I'm very strange, I know. But, hey, it's actually creative and it's something I would never forget nor regret (unless he was a total jerk, then yes I would regret every single day afterwards).
Everyone expects so much from relationships these days. It amazes me how many people get together just to make society happy, or even to rebel from past generations. Now, granted, there are a lot of couples who, with guidance and the ability to work things out when things go wrong, go far in life without listening to what other people say and are happy. I'm proud of you all for sticking to that strategy.
And, finally, for all you single people out there just like me. Don't lose hope. I sure as Hell didn't and I'm, somewhat, happy being on my own. It shows me that God has someone out there for me, even though I have never met him yet (or maybe I did). I believe there's someone out there for everyone. You just have to keep kissing those frogs until one of them turns into your prince/princess.
Love happens in time,
Allison
