Blame yourself for being single
I am a soon-to-be 30-year-old female who feels ready to be in a relationship after a three-year sabbatical from relationships because of a 51/2 -year relationship that ended terribly. I have very strong religious beliefs, and I find myself less tolerant of games. It’s hard to find a man who is interested in having more than just sex and who is willing to respect my beliefs. I have tried online dating, but I have met more jerks than I care to count. I refuse to settle, and I don’t want to make the same mistakes and repeat the heartbreak. I am getting so overwhelmed. When did sleeping with people who you’ve never met become normal? I feel another sabbatical coming on.
