Robby G. over at ShiteILike.com let me write on his Internet space, so head on over and check it out.

The post: “Single is Not a Problem that Needs to Be Fixed“

Here’s a little taste…

I’m not a disabled caterpillar and I’m not dying.

At least not any more than any other healthy 24-year-old human.

So why do people treat my relationship status as something that must be fixed or treated?

“Any new guys in your life..?” – Friend
“Nah, not really.. kinda focusing on work and..” – Me
“Ahh.. well.. you should meet my friend James! He’s great.. he likes to drink and stuff…” – Friend

Welcome to my life.

I’ve been on the dating scene for over two years now. And during that time, I have..

The backstory:

I found Robby G.’s site a few weeks ago and enjoyed reading his take on many of the relationship issues that trickled through his inbox. One day, he had a guest post titled, “How to Land a Prince After Kissing 10,000 Frogs” and I opened my mouth in the comment section:

I think some of this advice is valid, but I think other parts are a little too much of “this is what worked for me.. so it will work for you.” Who says you can’t meet someone in a bar or online? The best way would of course be the whole “find someone when you’re not looking” route.. but I don’t think it hurts to mix it up with a little effort too. One of the issues I see the most among my female friends is that they view being single as an issue, some kind of problem that needs to be fixed – rather than treating it as an opportunity to fill their schedule with the activities they enjoy and really find out what makes them happy on their own – a key component to figuring out what type of person you should be with ultimately. That’s just my two cents though.

And with that, a Guest Post opportunity was spawned. In addition to his dating advice, Robby also has a great little fiction piece he just released. I’m a few pages away from the conclusion (a feat for me.. seriously.. those who have seen the stack of lost cause books in the corner of my room – many of which are written by some of the world’s best authors – know how difficult it is for me to stay focused long enough to finish a book).

Here’s the back cover:

He leaves everything to search for the unknown. His journey is unplanned, his past is left behind, and his future is uncertain. He used to kill for money and satisfaction, but now he has an urge to change his entire lifestyle and find the crucial ingredient that makes his existence worth tolerating and his life worth living.

It is a grueling tale of a man’s descend to the loneliest place in the mind to discover truths about himself and the world.
