Wow, I totally did not expect all the response to my relationships post.
I was so glad to see, as many of you said, that I am not alone.
It seems that so many of us are in the same place in life and relationships and didn’t even know it.
For those of you that were worried though, don’t be. I’m happy. I’m single, and I’m happy. Were the right guy to come along, sure I’d probably be happier. But I’m not desperate. And I am certainly not going to marry the next guy to come along, just cause he’s there. In fact, I am most certain to do just the opposite. 100% of the reason I am single is because I am waiting. I’m waiting for that one guy that makes all my problems go away. The one guy, that when I’m with him, all my problems seem small. The one guy that completes me. Even though I thought my life was complete, he fills that little spot that I didn’t even know was empty.
And I’m okay with that.
I’ll wait forever for that guy.
Mr. Right.
For now, I’ll focus on eating apples and pb.
Honeycrisp apples and creamy pb.
And I’ll focus on church.
I’ll keep going to CharlotteONE and meet new friends. I’ll go to dinner with these friends afterward and get to know them better.
I’ll order a salad and not take a picture of it. Because let’s be honest, I don’t know them well enough yet to start taking pictures of my food in front of them.
It’s ok.
I’ll come home and draw you a picture of my salad.
There’s my salad.
I never claimed to be an artist.
I just like to eat.
I like to eat salads from Rock Bottom.
Salads called Hummus and Goat Cheese.
Oh dear.
I guess I forgot to draw the goat cheese.
On that note I am going to bed.
Because it’s late.
And I am tired.
And feel like I got beaten soundly with a baseball bat all over my upper body, thanks to my strength training yesterday.
Nighty night.
[PS: And if you are out there Mr. Right? I’m waiting.]

I love your drawing…so funny! You are crack me up, girl!
Oh, good! That’s the right attitude. Yea it can be a bummer when you’re single, but it’d be worse when you’re with the wrong guy. And I think your salad is gorgeous
Haha, the goat cheese can be the little white spaces in between the green lettuce. See, you did remember
That looks like one damn tasty salad if I do say so myself.
I love your outlook on this. I personally feel the same way! Everyone expects me to be married, but I’m not going to settle. =)
hahahahahahahahahahaha. i LOVE your salad. i want it. now. in my belly. i am glad you are focusing on apples and PB.. it takes a lot of time and attention. i am not kidding. apples and PB are worth focusing on. as are your baller paintshop skillz. love it. and you!
I love your sense of humor!
You picture of the salad is really cute too!

Hey Lovely Whit!!!
I love your outlook on guys!! I was seeing someone for a while, and single and totally tried to have that same attitude….and it is so true….you can’t LOOK for guys. They will come to you at the right time. I randomly met my current boyfriend, and I am so suprised he came into my life as he did! And happy, of course. I just NEVER THOUGHT it would happen as soon as it did.
Your picture of your salad is amazing! I love it!
And hurray for apples and PB. Sometimes I feel like PB is underrated in the blogworld! Everyone is all about the AB, but PB is by far superior in my honest opnion!!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY BEAUTIFUL!
Love,
GC
Well said, Miss Whit!
Your salad picture is pretty artistic by my standards. Love your attitude on relationships.
Sigh. I’ve had some relationship woes myself lately as well. Good for you for waiting patiently for Mr. Right.
Love your salad drawing!
Great attitude about the boy situation… or lack of situation. You are so right to keep waiting until the right guy comes along. You will save yourself the heartache that too many people have to go through by settling for the wrong person just because they don’t want to be alone! Gosh you are so smart!
i love your drawing of your salad! and it sounds so yummy!!
Ahah that salad is so cute.
And that’s the spirit, girl!
I love how you say when you find the right one, it will fill an empty spot you didn’t even know you had. I think that’s a perfect way of describing Mr. Right! We can’t wander around looking for him; we have to live our life!
Nice salad pic! I am sure that you captured the essence of the actual one
I didn’t get a chance to comment on your relationship post earlier, but obviously I’m in the same boat. I’m 26 and have been single for 2 years now… minus a one months stint at the beginning of the year where I was “kind of dating” a guy. lol I have a lot of friends who are married and quite a few who still aren’t.
I’m not desperate either though. I’m happy with my situation, it gives me more time to focus on being me and discovering who I really am as a person, and accomplishing the goals I’ve set for myself. But yeah… I know Mr. Right is hiding out there.
Happy Wednesday, Whit!
I read your post on my BB so i couldn’t comment, well i could but it’s annoying
My friends and i were JUST having this convo at dinner the previous night- about how we feel abnormal and like we are missing out, I believe the phrase, “I can count the number of dates i’ve been on with one hand” was uttered by several people…and honestly it was just so depressing!
I would like to think it’s because we are young, independent and strong women with impeccably high standards ;D Mr. right is totally out there, probably wondering where the heyll u are! haha we’ll get em whit!!
You are too cute!! I am sure he is out their whit!! Maybe he has a brother or cousin for me?? Hehe loved you pic!!
Mr. Right is out there! And he is unbeleiveable lucky to be your Mr. Right because girl….you are fabulous!
Until he makes his way into your wonderful life, keep enjoying those apples love.
(The second best thing to true love)
lol, i love the salad drawing!
LOL – love the salad!!
Your salad cracked me up!
I will have to look into CharlotteOne the next time I am in NC. I live in Lexington, kY at the moment but my parents are in Charlotte and I visit often. I need to meet some more NC friends.
Mr. Right will come one day
He is probably searching for you right now!
great post about mr. right!!
jenna
He is out there and perhaps he has a brother or cousin for me??? hehe.. Great post Girl!!
Hahahahahahahahaha!!! I love the drawing of your salad! Too funny! Not everyone knows about my blog so sometimes I don’t take pics either…will have to keep in mind to do a drawing next time!
I am sure you will find Mr. Right…he will come along! Mine did and it was worth the wait. I got married when I was 32.
I don’t blame you for waiting! In my world a person should only get married once. I’m Catholic and divorce for us i just not an option. Luckily I found the perfect man for me and we are extremely happy, but you only get one shot so better make sure he’s a keeper
sorry boo I totes pressed “mark all as read” when I got home yesterday on my google reader (it was 200+, you understand) just catching up on your single lady post now .. girlfriend — you are gorgie and hilar and incredibly amazing and the right guy WILL come along.. then he’ll have to come meet me so I can make sure he’s good enough for you
. Seriously though Whitty — your soul mate is out there.. and he is the luckiest guy on earth!
love love love to you beautiful!
I’m right there with you, waiting till Mr. Right comes along. Never settle!! Ever!
I totally agree! Amen sister!
I totally laughed at the salad picture/wondering at what point it’s kosher to bust out that I photograph my food. “Oh, you like football? I like taking pictures of my food…” I guess Mr. Right would understand about that though
I’m with you 150% about Mr.Right. I’m 23, I’ve had ONE boyfriend about 2.5 years ago for about 8 months and I didn’t even really meet meet him because he was my brother’s best friend. fail. he was a major fail too. Our relationship ruined my family relationship for a while. fail fail fail and more fail haha.
We’re good catches. And Mr. Right may not be right now but he’s there somewhere and he’ll take the picture of your pb & apples for you
woo hoo hope you’re feeling bettah
That is maybe one of the most delicious salads I have evah seen! Haha, you’re a hoot.
I feel ya on the Mr. Right thing. Anything less just ain’t worth it! It’s good to be picky
Glad you had fun last night!
a very romantic first couple paragraphs!
