I hate the word boo. It is the most juvenile, foolish, uneducated way to of saying significant other, girlfriend, or boyfriend. And if you don’t know, now you know. You can find that and other urban/slang words for practically everything else here at urban dictionary. But despite my utter detest for the word, oddly enough it has a strange kind of ring to it. So much so, that when I began generating ideas about starting a blog about life while being single, I thought no other term fitting than being boo-less. Now don’t get me wrong there is so much more to life than being in a relationship but let’s face it, those things really enhance ones life. Relationships are on every ones mind. And when you aren’t in one, you can approach it in a variety of ways: you can spend your singleness being bitter that you aren’t in one, live life to the fullest truly content in your singleness, or be honest that you really wish you had one. I choose the later and so talking about one or the lack there of one will suffice for now. And although, as a result of this blog, I run the risk of being written off as some pathetic chick, I’d much prefer the term helpless romantic.
So there you have it…..Boo-less-ness [also defined as the state of being without your boo]:
The highs and the lows;
Advantages and disadvantages;
The perks and the drawbacks;
The ups and the downs.
Your comments are welcome, whether you’re boo-less or not.
Ah rah…I’m content in my state of singleness [honestly speaking] and not ashamed of it either! I proudly confess that I am single and happy! Now, granted, I had my share of sporadic moments of feeling “boo-lessness” but those moments became a far distant memory or desire when I began to focus on the not so successful relationships I have been in already. Sad to say, those experiences have left a bitter sweet taste in my mouth and can’t seem to rinse it out with the thought of having a new open mind to relationships. I guess it’s safe to say that my singleness chooses highlights the [advantages] of being boo-less than being boo-full…he he he

well, being over here in Germany, it’s sometimes best to be single. Hmm, but I do miss the companionship of someone worthy, you know? “Helpless romantic”? Ah, you gotta explain that one to me, I’m curious about it;-)

Hey there damages! Thanks for stopping by! Hope you return often. I’m curious to know why it’s best to be single in Germany (unless you aren’t a permenant resident there and are there temporarily)? And I’ll tell you what, I’ll devote and entire post to what a helpless romantic is, at least what my take on it is

nice nice:-) yeah, I’m curious as to know your motivation for writing such blogs, you know? so…it’s better to be single over here because these girls are a little uh…wishy-washy. Most only want a relationship with you so they can get that “golden ticket” to the US. It’s sad, but very true, and…their idea of the term “relationship” is quite the opposite of what we consider it as. I’m in the Army- I’m here temporarily, going on year 3 here so far:-(
