AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH  Angry

Ok feel better but its that time again where i have to go to yet another event as a single person. This one is made all the more bleugh because every other person going isn't flipping single. They are all couples except me and C.

This leads to 2 things....the women I don't know will be eyeing me suspiciously as I am obviously after their husbands.....(this happened at a work friends wedding recently  Sad)

Or I'll get the pity looks and ' you'll meet someone soon' because of course I can't be happy AND single can I.....

It just makes these things really hard work!!!! And I didn't even get a plus one this time either..... Grin

I agree with crazyartlady, take a woman along and let the gossips have a field day.  I hate the dodgy looks when your a single woman in a couples environment.   :Smiley

I'm sure there'll be an SWK man willing to escort you and you can both have the last laugh cos you won't be the ones arguing at the end of the night about who was too drunk or eying the talent up!!  Grin

Hey, what a great idea!  Smiley

Maybe we could start a thread, whereby singletons could put details of a 'do' we've been invited to and ask for any SWK members available to act as  'an escort' for the evening ........  Smiley

That sounds like a fab idea!!!1

I remember my first wedding alone! only stayed a while as felt a right prune!

However, have not got to the stage where i don't care!  I like single life, although a bit lonely sometimes, I don't have to give the remote to anyone, cook dinner at a certain time and listen to someone snoring all night, well apart from the dog!

Go with a good friend who is single too and you'll have more fun, people watching!

I'm always the one with my kids and alone, people are quite welcoming, but it does make you feel kind of deflated coming home to an empty bed  Sad

Yeah, lol - how rubbish we can laugh at that. My ex used to say "I get up everytime you get up" what a lousy excuse. Once in the night to feed the baby, she doesn't know how lucky she is! Enjoy yourself hun, I was in a similar situation but actually enjoyed it and was sober cos was driving. You will have fun x
