We all know that a relationship is not official unless it is
made public on Facebook, and over the Holiday weekend a lot of people made it
public. I get the excitement behind finding someone you want to be with and
someone who wants to be with you, and naturally the next step is to share your
happiness; however, it can have a depressing effect on its single viewers.
Typically, I have one of two reactions. The first (and this
is on my better days) is to react with, “God no, I don’t want that commitment
right now!” (Although, at some level I’m probably secretly jealous, at the time I utter such sentiments, I genuinely am confident, and firm, in the words I am saying.) The second
is when I actually pause for a few minutes and reevaluate where I am in my
life; where I am going (what happened in this instance).
Lately, I have been concentrating 98% of my efforts in
finding a new job. I’ve been networking, going on informational interviews,
meeting with recruiters, etc. Starting my career is incredibly important to me.
I know where I want to be going with my life, and I am eager to get there.
That being said, a guy does factor into that equation. Therefore,
it would be nice to have my own “in a relationship” Facebook status. However,
as dating does not really qualify as one of my top five fun activities, I tend
to push it to the backburner. Making a concerted effort to change means pushing
myself when I don’t necessarily want to.
Yes, dear readers, this might have something to do with why I am still
single. To be fair, I have been stepping up my game; although, I will be the
first to admit that I can step it up a bit more.
Such deep thoughts, and all because of Facebook’s
relationship status updates.
When I’m in a relationship I can’t decide if I’ll broadcast
that fact in ALL CAPS ON FACEBOOK, or refuse to ever acknowledge the fact so
publicly. We shall have to wait and see…
