BCG....

I've got a very good friend I worry about, because she can tell you EVERYTHING about her wedding (she's actually gone on cake tastings and picked china patterns) except who the groom's going to be. She's put herself under so much pressure to "get on with her life" in terms of traditional milestones, that I'm worried she'll take the first guy to ask her...regardless of whom he turns out to be. I was brought up by a single mother who banged it repeatedly into my head....better no man than the wrong man. It's something I thank her for...right up there with, get your education...no matter what.

I've got another friend who's busily talking herself into marrying a guy, about whom she's sure of only 3/4 of the time (by her own admission). The other 2.5 days of the week...he makes her feel like a charity case he's staying with only because he hasn't found anything better yet. Another one who's more worried about a ring on her finger than the guy who puts it there.

You, however, I'm not worried about. You sound like you're in touch with your needs of the moment. Just make sure that when you're ready to be with someone, you make sure it has to be someone special.
