You sucker-punched it there. “Maybe the key is finding someone that you’ll be able to keep falling in love with, over and over, as you both change.”

I've learned that the 'women who won't be tamed' usually stay single longer. But when we find that thing called love, even if it's not the for lifers...there is no doubt it's real. We love more, love with reckless abandon, and love harder in a few weeks/months/years than most people ever do in a lifetime. So let love (or the chance of it) lead you where it may...and rightfully enjoy the fun single moments that tie it all together in between. It makes finding a guy worth shelving you're single status for that much hotter! As your elder of just a few, but highly important years, let me tell you that this question doesn’t get any easier.

I'm totally in the same position - I just turned 25 in December and so many of the girls in my life (including my best friend, who's only 23 going on 24) are getting married! Or having babies or getting engaged, etc. On the one hand I don't really get it because I still feel like I'M too young for all that, so it kinda blows my mind that girls younger than me are doing it (and frankly I feel many of them are doing it too soon). But on the other hand you start to think if there's something wrong with you; why haven't I found that person? But the fact is everyone has different timing - your time will come and so will mine. You just have to be patient and enjoy the ride! That's what I try to focus on and sounds like that's what you're doing so bravo! And hey, there's lots of pretty sweet things about being single ;) I say Amen also!

All sorts of dumb. Making up for it at 29 ;) Thank you for this post. I recently came out of a long relationship with the man I was "supposed" to spend the rest of my life with... until he decided he was afraid of commitment. Since then, I have questioned how people can stay in love forever when we change on a daily basis. My brain hurts. I wish I was as smart as you when I was 24. All sorts of dumb.

Chills, lady. I love when you write and you spit out all of the words that are in my head that I don't know that I want to say until you say them and I'm all "YES SHE GETS IT". You're the best. Favorite part? "who knows what he wants, says what he means, and shows up when it matters". You wouldn't think it'd be so hard to find that, huh? Dude. Chills, lady.

I like that it's so different from what you normally post over on nicoleisbetter.com. While I love your every day content (and it always manages to make me laugh), this side of you is amazing to be able to read about. I had no idea this was part of your reasons for moving to SF! Even though it didn't work out, you are sure to have amazing experiences there. Nicole, I love this post from you.
