There's one guy down here trying pretty hard to get my attention. He's smart, funny, not too bad to look at. Enough older than me that I see that as a bit of a negative, but he's fit, probably more fit than I am. But when I try to imagine fitting a significant other into my life right now, I just can't do it. Like you two, I am fine on my own, I keep myself entertained, and some of the things that interest me keep me so busy that others might dismiss the amount of attention I spend. My garden for example, is important, organic practices are important, and food preservation is important. I am sure that the Little Red Hen story is true - they'd come around for the cooking and eating part of the garden, but not the digging, planting weeding, hovering over part. Why enter a relationship with someone who will dismiss my interests? I'm the same way about several things that interest me, and until some smart rich good looking hunk who doesn't practice passive-aggression comes along and sweeps me off my feet, I'm fine where I am. :)
