I just realized last night that I haven’t been single around the holidays since I was a junior in high school - back in 2000.  That’s a long time!  I had to make sure about the dates, so I thought about all of my boyfriends and when I dated them.  Whenever I broke up with a guy, I was back in another serious relationship within a couple months. Here’s the list:

Josh - November 2001 - September 2002

Eric - December 2002 - March 2006

Steve - September 2006 - March 2008

Hahahaha… that lists looks like it’s on a grave stone or something… but I guess that kind of is the life and death of the relationship.  But anyway…. so since the Christmas of 2000, I had a boyfriend every single time, for Christmas and New Years.  That is so weird!

It was actually very nice not having a boyfriend this Christmas, because it meant that I didn’t have to buy him a Christmas present!  It did feel weird that I didn’t have more presents to purchase, but it was nice to save $100!

I don’t mind not having a boyfriend, because it allows me to figure my own stuff out, to do my own thing, and to get to know other guys and then decide that I don’t like them.  ;)   But I, like many other people out there, am waiting to find “the one.”  I don’t think it’s about finding a guy that I really want (meaning, I don’t desperately want a boyfriend), but I want to be happy.  I’m hoping “the one” will make me incredibly happy.  That’d be nice.
