Some women are ready for love, some are not. Some look forward to traveling during the holidays, some crave a man’s company so urgently that the holidays make them tense and afraid.
Me? I am celebrating today. Last year at this time, I was planning a secret move.
My ex did not know that on that fateful upcoming Wednesday when he left for golf it was the last time he would see me at home. I hired two young guys to come and move my stuff out and left. I was very scared that day. Afraid that he would come home and make the whole thing more difficult than it already was.
It has been a tough year and a great year. I moved three times in the first 6 months before I found my current fabulous arrangements. I got rid of boxes of stuff that I didn’t have room for or need. I had no residual heart break toward my ex. Truth is, I had planning to get out since 2010. It just took time to get my ducks in a row and be able to support myself on my own. My parents also both passed away in the last 4 years.
Today I am an honest to goodness happy single lady. I am divorced 4 months now and feel more comfortable writing about myself and my experiences being a happy divorcee and how I am navigating the world of dating online and off. I do celebrate YOU because you are still here, reading my words and cheering me on. Now that I am single with you, I really want to write heart to heart.
My roommates and I are all single and have very different agendas when it comes to dating and what we want from the next guy to come along.
I know that I am not ready for a committed relationship. I am SO happy being free with no one to micro-manage me or dictate my choices that I can’t imagine meeting a man who I would give that precious freedom up for. Ladies, you don’t want to be with the wrong man, that is for damn sure!
Maybe like you, my roommates are both ready for love and crave to be with someone special this Christmas. Tired of the rat race of singleness, they want marriage and commitment. We make an interesting household. I know my Snow White nature confounds and intrigues my Rapunzel housemate and yet we are doing well in spite of differences. I am very introverted and snuggle into my room like a nest after work to recharge. She is a super outgoing California native who craves company when she has off time.
It has been good for us to talk about these things and work it out. It saves all of us significant money to live together and we are all keenly aware of that. It is a great blessing for me to live in a beautiful, secure and stable home. The fact that there is a pool and two other dogs for mine to play with are sweet extras.
Meanwhile, it is fun to share singleness and dating online and off. My roomie has been on over 20 dates first dates in the last year. (She deserves a medal!) She uses Plenty of Fish and OKCupid. I have also been on the online sites and we both have stories to tell! The fact is you have to have a sense of humor and a lot of stamina to go through the mill of online dating. I’ll be sharing our experiences here so stay tuned.
How about you?
- Do you wonder if you are ready for love?
- Are you worried that your fears about being cheated on are ruining your chances for love?
- Do you keep meeting the wrong kinds of men?
- Do you hate dating?
- Do you wish more than anything that you could spend Christmas with someone special this year?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, let’s get you some answers. I am so humbly grateful to the supporters I had along the way who helped me believe in myself when my self concept was at an all time low just a few short years ago. If you think that there is something inside that is blocking you from finding the right person, make today the day you find out what is going on.
I have opened my schedule and am doing FREE Love Magnet Readings to make it possible for you to get a true read for where you are right now when it comes to radiating the “I am available and ready for love” vibe that your next partner is searching for.
Let me repeat that. There is someone out there looking for who you are. The you that is underneath all the heartbreak and drama. I have been to many singles dances and meet men all the time that are looking for the right woman. If you get very focused, you can build a confident vibe that says, “Bring it on, I am ready for love.”
Here’s a test. Stand in front of the mirror. Look yourself in the eye and say, “I am 100% emotionally available for a partner right now. A man could move into my bedroom tomorrow.” If you can say that and mean it. Good for you. But, if the words stick in your throat, click this link and schedule yourself into my calendar for a Free Love Magnet Reading. Let’s get you a date for New Years Eve: Talk To Catherine
