I once had a letter from a reader that said it all for a lot of people.  I often hear variations on this theme:

Tonja,

I am so tired of the fact that finding and keeping a relationship is so much work.


First of all, I don’t need a man to make me OK. I am amazed that so many people automatically “expect” so much after just meeting someone. It seems like just because I am single, men assume that because they are interested I automatically feel the same way.  Why are the ones I am interested in never interested in me?

I have dated sporadically for the past ten years or so, I have been divorced for twenty, and I had been in a “mini” nowhere marriage. Do I need to be concerned that I am not interested in going out and looking for someone to date?


I have tried the Internet, with no success. I don’t drink, smoke, or use drugs, which limits a lot of people.  Is Mr. Right going to knock on my front door?  It seems like such a hassle to try to meet people, and go through all of the “get to know you” stuff.


I am SO Fed Up

We come together in relationships to be better than we can be alone.  When you choose someone who is your equal...each of you superlative in your own unique ways that the other one isn't, you become smarter.  Together you can write a better song, weave a stronger cloth, hone your perceptions, deepen your intellectual capacities, and spread a wider net to collect rubies of information.
