In response to "kare...if only your friend would put herself in your shoes (as you're doing with her) you wouldn't have this issue." by Jim

I decided that being around happy couples is good for me. I can bask in the happy. good karma and all that.

Responses:

i was single for a long time and had flashes of "i want that" at times. and i worked my *ass* off to never let it show. you know? - kare Jan 5, 10:57 17
- it's tough to be a single person in a crowd of couples, it really is. - Andie Jan 5, 11:03 15
  - the last person I knew like kare's friend took it so far to sabotage relationships of her friends. it was horrific. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 11:21
  - It's the main reason I stopped going to my brother/sis-in-law's gatherings. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:05 13
    - the thing is i really enjoyed being single, i never really felt like it was a bad thing. but somehow (and i KNOW it's not intended, ever) a roomful - Andie Jan 5, 11:07 12
      - there were other singles at this gathering, but i definitely know. i've been there more often than not. and she knows this too. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:17 5
        
        do you think it's more than just singleness? Maybe you were her Single Buddy, someone she commiserated with? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:20 3
        
        I'll say it. Some women just want their friend's man. - con_carne Jan 5, 11:22 1
        
        oh no. she has a list of qualities she's looking for. he doesn't meet several of them. -- nm - kare Jan 5, 11:25
        
        there's that dynamic too, yes. though she imagined we did more than we actually ever did. - kare Jan 5, 11:21
        
        oh, if she wasn't the only single person there then she REALLY has to grow up. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:19
      - yeah, it sure can. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:08
      - I just hit on everyone's guys. - Amy Jan 5, 11:08 1
        
        *snork* -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:09
      - Exactly. -- nm - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:07 2
        
        (note: This is the same sis-in-law that suggested their NYE party a few years back should be black tie. The girls were all going to wear their wedding - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 11:11 1
        
        jeez, I remember. so thoughtless. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 11:11
- yeah, I totally understand. that's me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:58
I don't understand. There won't be anyone who decides to go last minute? -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:54 1
- Huh? This was meant to go somewhere else -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 11:03
