I received this email forward a few weeks ago...

THE WORLDS SHORTEST FAIRYTAIL... Once upon a time a guy asked a girl,

"Will you marry me?", the girl said "No" and she lived happily every

after and went shopping, drank vodka tonics with friends, always had a

clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags,

stayed skinny and was never farted on. THE END.


And I like the message, although I've never- been proposed to, I like to cook and am not exactly skinny.

But the message is right. You do not need a male to make you happy, and while having a partner is great in some respects, enjoy being by yourself while you can. Whether that is to sit at home on a Friday night and arrange your mp3s, it is much less depressing doing that when you are single, than doing it when you have a partner who would rather spend time with their computer than ever leave it.
