I get it now

Written on July 26, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

You know the old saying “Good guys finish last”? Well I get it now. This phrase always bothered me, as a woman. Us females are always looking for that good guy! Yet, we can never find it. We mock that stupid phrase and say “then where are they??” I think I found out. They’re single…

He’s just not that into you

Written on June 18, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Dating

You’ve heard about the book and now its a movie. Granted, I have not seen the movie yet but wouldn’t turn it down if it was offered to me. The book, however, is absolutely wonderful. It makes you realize that you shouldn’t settle for less than you deserve. Example after example it lists situations that…

Single Get Togethers

Written on June 9, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Hitting the Sauce, Local Scenes, Places to Meet Singles

I recently noticed that there are single get togethers in my local area. I stumbled across this totally by mistake. A friend and I were looking for activities to do (in general, not single related or anything) in my city. I had recently heard about a site called meetup.com that connects you with people of…

Settling for less

Written on June 5, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

There is a difference between settling for less and only looking for perfection. Let me explain the difference. For example, if someone’s ideal person is an education person with a degree and career goals. Yet, they meet someone who does not have a degree. Settling for less would be to remain with someone who has…

Single Parenting: Don’t Pity Us

Written on June 2, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

I thought this post: http://thesinglelife.net/archives/2009/06/02/i-could-only-imagine/comment-page-1#comment-9570 was pretty rude. It says that “No one would want to have nothing to do with a person that has kids”. I can’t even believe there are fallacies out there like this. Not only is it a fallacy, it is a mean thing to say. Maybe this person believes that…

Romance Novels

Written on April 2, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

Being single doesn’t mean you can’t dream of what life would be like if you were in a great relationship. Sometimes we don’t have anything to go off, though, to even begin to imagine a wonderful romance. There are always romantic movies out there. However, another avenue to give your mind and heart a treat…

Romantic Destinations

Written on March 30, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Local Scenes

There are always undiscovered romantic destinations. Some are real treasures but have not been utilized much by the public. The popular destinations are widely advertised by the media, while the true beautiful places are left mainly untouched. Why is that? Mainly because those who know of them want to keep it a secret. It’s better…

What I don’t get

Written on February 20, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Dating, Single Life

This post is related to women who call themselves single moms. What I don’t get is women who have a partner (who isn’t biologically the father of their children) and he helps them raise her children, YET she calls herself a “single” mom. I don’t get it! I want to say to her, you are…

I’m single!

Written on January 24, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

I spent the last few weeks dating someone but not really feeling any chemistry. I let this person know that as soon as I realized it so I wouldn’t lead them on. The last thing I’d ever want someone to do to me is for someone to lead me on so I wouldn’t want to…

I just don’t know…

Written on January 17, 2009 by Esperanza Dodge in Single Life

I don’t know about this dating thing. It can be difficult. It’s like, should you give someone a chance, even though they may really hurt you eventually? Or do you test the waters and just date casually until you want something serious because you feel like there is some long term commitment going on there?…
