people = men

OK So, my mom started on my case this weekend about how I needed to get out of the house and meet people and do stuff. I tried to explain that I have my art class on Wednesday nights, I am signed up for a writing class on Thursdays starting in a few weeks, I am going out to eat with some people from work next week, and I am joining WW meetings starting today. Her response?

“You can’t meet men at Weight Watchers.”

WTF?

Why would I want to meet men anywhere? I mean, I’m happy being single. I’m still a work in progress myself and don’t want the added difficulties that come from a guy who is jealous and suffocating and tells me what he thinks I want to hear while doing and wanting the opposite… :O Though I might be biased due to my bad luck with men.

Personally, I would like to make friends to do things with. If a man comes along, well, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’m not looking and I thought she’d accepted that. Guess not.

   Your mom probably worries about you being so far away and by yourself. A lot of people equate happiness with relationships.

   One of the guys I work with is a real case - he’s been married and divorced 2x since we started working in the same building in the last 18 mo. He’s had several girlfriends in between. He’s hyperactive and just generally strange. Usually I ignore him, but once I tried to advise him, after one of his rants about women (?), that a life is possible without being involved with somebody. He stated - "I can’t do that" I replied "of course you can" he said " no I can’t - I’m too good of a catch!"
   Now I just ignore him and give him blank stares with no replies, work related or not, because I just can’t deal with him.

   Your cats must be doing okay since the move, haven’t heard anything about them.
