What’s the number 1 enemy to single women who want to be married?

LONELINESS.

I thought about all the other obstacles I and other single women I know have faced – wasting time with the wrong dudes who seemed promising, hating single life, and even going through major life events alone – and loneliness seemed to win out every time. I wondered time and time again, is it true that single women can overcome loneliness? In fact, the understanding I came to was that loneliness seemed to be the cause of these things or made the problem exponentially (yes, exponentially) worse.

Just so you know, you’re struggling with loneliness if:

1) You often entertain the thought of calling an ex you know you don’t get along with just to avoid being alone.

2) You believe the answer to your loneliness is getting married or at least being in a relationship.

3) You keep putting yourself in compromising situations because you don’t want to be alone.

4) You hang out with a guy you don’t like or respect.
