The Single One
What’s in the single girls’ refrigerator? Not much. Expired milk, last week’s Whole Foods chicken, shriveled grapes and tomatoes. What inspires you to buy groceries? A first date! You need to be ready for a 2:00 a.m. snack or the early morning snack. What’s most important to purchase? Wine and Champagne. You need different champagne for the morning mimosa and another champagne for the evening greeting. Of course, candles and flowers for the few items you have purchased. Let’s hope that enhances date night!!! Maybe it leads to a weekend getaway.
The Married One
Togetherness – Can there be too much in a married relationship? Do you share every single thought with him? That’s why we have girlfriends. Are you attached at the hip? Fish swim together for safety reasons. For couples, “swimming” together spells danger. Ron has a favorite saying – “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?” A little mystery is good for a marriage. A vacation for couples is great but we all need space & attention. So when he goes off fishing w/the guys, you go shopping w/the girls. Happily together you both share what you’ve caught and bought!
The Single One
How many is too many? A wife, a girlfriend, an ex-wife. Who is still in the picture when you are dating? Hopefully not all three, but plausible. Are the men we date ever really unattached? And if they are, how does a 30-year-old bachelor sound to you? Which is worse, the eternal bachelor or the guy still looped in with some former partners? What are the chances of ever meeting someone really available – when you are both unattached at the same time? That is why dating out of the zip code has its merits.
The Married One
Do I look relaxed? Happy? Content? Is marriage good for your mental health? Studies say it is. You live longer, you’re less stressed, less depressed and so is he. Why is that? You have a captive audience for complaining, he has to compliment you or else no sex (sexual leverage), you always have a date for New Years; he can fix your computer! So why is he happier? You cook for him (does shopping at Whole Foods count?), you increase his mileage account and you’re always there…so why wouldn’t he be happy?
The Married One
Infidelity – A love story! How do you tell if your husband is cheating? Is that really the question to ask or should you be asking why would he? Perhaps “she” can bring him pleasure while you can only cause him real pain! Infidelity is a one liner, marriage is a sitcom. Enough episodes will keep it in syndication forever! There is only one sure cure for infidelity… make sure he never changes the channel!
The Single One
Boyfriend, friend or hook up? Your friends keep asking who he is, where he is & how come we haven’t met him. Is that because we don’t know how to categorize him? If you never go anywhere and sex is part of every meeting – what do you think that means? No one has ever met each other’s friends. You see him exclusively on weekdays and there are no plans ever made in advance. Subtle clues that he is not boyfriend material. Of course the question is…. can your hook up turn into a boyfriend?
