Insights into Singlehood
Good job, Sweet Rose, at putting into words the many problems that leave so many of us frustrated whenever a relative (or whoever) asks why we have not met that special someone yet. On a related note, one night while in my car, X decided to open up to me (is it something about being trapped in an automobile that makes people so likely to admit things?) about why he, at age 32, is probably still single. One reason is that he fairly comfortable with his routine. The second, and more revealing, is that he feel that his standards are too high when it comes to a future spouse. At least he knows that, I suppose (not sure what this says about me.......guess I don't meet the standards?). He also offered up this gem of wisdom- that subcouciously we may choose people who are bad matches in the long term out of a fear of intimacy.
Perhaps this is an insight into why I don't seem to end up dating Jewish guys? Time to quit blogging and start the introspective analysis.......(glad my couch is comfy).

Routine can be the enemy. But it isn't by definition. High standards are good, but impossible standards are not. I should know, because I'm EVEN OLDER than X is, if such a thing is possible.
I think people *think* their standards are too high, but really, they don't know what they want fully, or they're denying what they want. I'll have to think about the car thing and get back to you!
