After 23 Years, I’m Committed To Being Single
Here’s why I have little hope left for a lasting relationship.

The chances are if I’m alone at a bar enjoying a nice night and live music I want to keep it that way. Me, myself and I.
Maybe you can’t wrap your head around the idea that I like to be alone but I’m going to do you a favor and tell you exactly why I like to be alone before you ask a very well-meaning girl out on Hinge or Tinder or approach someone at a bar next time you’re out with the guys.
Just hear me out, please.
