I have had my share of one night stands and failed relationships, and I have finally had enough. I am starting to get worried as I am almost thirty now, and I just don’t know what I am going to do. What if I can’t find someone that would like to spend the rest of their life with me? Am I that bad of a soul mate?
Okay, let me not get too down on myself, but instead try to come up with solutions. All my attempts to find local singles have pretty much failed, and I need to try something different. Maybe something as simple as hanging out in different parts of town, or trying to make new friends will work.
Or maybe I should try some free online dating sites and see what turns up. In fact, that might be a good idea as I haven’t tried them out before. Sure, it may be a little weird, and I know that some of the people that I will meet will look different than their pictures, but I think I will give it a shot. None of the normal ways are working out, so this might just be the answer - I know there is someone that would love me somewhere out there….

Last year my best friend had a spectacular anniversary. She and her long time boyfriend had been together for ten years and had often talked of getting married but just hadn’t done it for one reason or another.
Well, her boyfriend went the extra mile with everything for the date. He hired a limo. Not just any limo either, a Hummer! It seems that Hummer Limos are all the rage now and are pretty common.
He had the limo hire pick her up at work and took her to dinner at their favorite restaurant. It is not a particularly fancy or expensive place, but it is where they both love to go for the atmosphere and the good food.
When they were done eating, before they paid and left, he got down on one knee and proposed to her. The whole restaurant applauded! Then the limousine hire took her for a ride around town in the Hummer and they drank champagne in the limo.

You have one of those urges that tells you today you should buy a lottery ticket. The last time you had one of those feelings, you ignored it and your "usual" numbers won $1,000. You do buy a ticket and you win the 20 million dollar prize in the Pennsylvania lottery.
No this isn’t a dream. But your life does take a sudden detour.
Your friends advise you to live it up. Instead you hire a financial planner. You buy a duplex in a nice section of the city and rent out the other side. You also purchase two other investment properties. You discover you have an aptitude for real estate investing.
You do allow yourself a brief birthday indulgence. You contact a Philadelphia car service for a limousine ride to dinner and the theatre for yourself and your four closest friends. Sadly it will be the last time you spend time with all but one of them.
Their accusation that you have changed is valid. You have grown up and grown away from them — except for one friend who is willing to grow along with you. You welcome the new depth in your relationship. Life is good.
