It’s OK to be Single, We Swear!<\/h4>\n

Times change, and these days not everyone marries their high school sweetheart or meets their Mr. or Ms. Right while attending college. More and more people are finding they like being single<\/strong><\/a>, and this can be hard for our families to accept. So if you go home for the holidays this year, you may find yourself repeating the words\u00a0you’ve\u00a0said so often, \u201cYes, mom, I\u2019m still single!\u201d Tired of being beaten up for being single when all you really want is a mate? Talk with Psychic Maryanne ext. 9146 to see what’s ahead in your love life.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe you like being single, or maybe you don\u2019t, but this is one subject that makes you otherwise dread a joyous get-together with the ones you love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Home is Where the Guilt is<\/h4>\n

You work hard and don\u2019t get to spend a lot of time with family and friends. When you go home for the holidays, you think of homemade dinners, the smell of fresh apple pie, playing with nieces and nephews and even throwing sticks for the family dog. About 10 minutes into your arrival though\u2014after\u00a0you’ve\u00a0dropped the suitcase to hug and kiss the family\u2014the questions start. \u201cAre you dating anyone?” “Is there someone with you?” “Are you alone again?” “Why are you still single?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a Failure<\/h4>\n

You could be an acclaimed pianist or even a rocket scientist, but if you\u2019re still single, the look in your mom\u2019s eyes could make you feel like a total failure. You try to play up your latest accomplishments, but all you hear in return is, \u201cWhy can\u2019t my baby find someone to settle down with?\u201d Last week, your boss was promising you a raise and a promotion. At work you\u2019re a hit and you may feel like you\u2019re on top of the world. One trip home and suddenly you\u2019re staring at yourself in the mirror saying, \u201cI\u2019m a failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

You may enjoy the single life<\/strong><\/a>. You may like dating a variety of interesting people and not being tied down. You may enjoy the freedom of dating when you want and not dating when you don\u2019t. You may love your life just the way it is, but that one fatal trip home can crush your self-esteem like an ant under a sensible pair of mom shoes. Suddenly you find yourself missing what you didn\u2019t even want in the first place. At dinner, you find no matter what subject you try to switch the conversation to it always comes back to you and you find yourself screaming out, \u201cYes, mom, I\u2019m still single.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defense is No Offense<\/h4>\n

You could justify your life choices until you\u2019re blue in the face. You may try to convince your family that it\u2019s a different world out there than when your mom met your dad, but your defenses will soon run out. You\u2019re suddenly worn and distressed. There was no offense you could have planned, and there\u2019s certainly no defense you can muster. Nobody beats mom; she\u2019s always right. And you resolve to answer, once again, \u201cYes, Mom, I\u2019m still single, but I\u2019m working on it. I promise.\u201d Ready to find the love of your life? Talk with Psychic Shauna ext. 9010 to discover your love destiny.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
