Is It Hard Going to Shows Alone?



Is it hard going out to shows alone?

I just turned 34 a few days ago. I don't really feel to happy about it. I didn't have a girlfriend to share the day with. It was only spent with my parents and grandparents. I have a total desire of going out to comedy clubs but it gets too upsetting that I have to go alone to the shows. Most of my friends around my age are married, or in serious realtionships and don't have the time. I really feel upset when I go to the comedy shows and see younger couples there holding hands and all.

I am 34. When will my big break come for a girlfriend or getting married. I am not a bum or anything I have a rewarding career in engineering. I have a masters degree in business, and I have a nice home and car. I enjoy going for ballroom dancing and swing dancing. But it is no fun if I can't share this all with someone. I like going to shows, but again there is the thing that there are younger couples there and her I am alone.

Will my luck change? Is it too late to get married for me? Should I stop going to the shows?


Showstopper,

It sounds like you're lonely. We've all been there. But, reflecting on what you don't have isn't going to help you attract the right mate. A girlfriend can't make you happy, she can only add to your happiness.

Make a decision to change your luck, by making it a point to enjoy the time you spend without a girlfriend. Enjoy being yourself and single. Keep going to see shows. Invite your friends next time. Discover new interests and hobbies. Check out www.meetup.com and join a couple of the social groups in your town. Not only will you enjoy being yourself, but while exploring a new hobby, may meet the the woman of your dreams, or at least someone to take to comedy shows.

And for the record, 34 is a great age. Enjoy it, and your life. Good luck. I hope I've helped.

I would like to be set up with Showstopper. I know how you feel. Plus, I like smart guys. Once I went to a comedy club on a date. We were affectionate there, but I was only 16 and it was one of my first dates so I ddin't know what to do. It's not always as happy as it seems from the outside, LOL!!

PS Shane--where have you been!!?

Tis true! It's not always as happy as it seems from the outside.

I got caught up in life Savvy D, mostly work, with a little romance. I've got some funny, yet odd stories coming up soon. Thanks for asking!!!
