Forget the zombie apocalypse or the monstrous shark filled tornados that threaten our very existence on a daily basis. Compared to being single these things are nothing to shuffle around about and certainly nothing more than a biting breeze. Being single is seen by some as a prison sentence rather than a choice, an uncomfortable silence in the conversation of life. We all know that being a bachelor or bachelorette in 2014 isn’t the end of the world but there are still those who look at being single as the scariest thing on Earth.
Whether we like being single or not, the conversation inevitably must go where all single talk leads, our next relationship. Looking for love in a busy, modern world can feel like Indiana Jones’ search for the Holy Grail. We must sift through mazes and snakes while avoid getting bulldozed all the while keeping ourselves intact as we hope to make it out of the dating scene alive, let alone in love.
