Reply #42: Yeah, this season is so fucking hard.

All we see are commercials featuring 30-something parents and their kids. That's nice for those people in that stage of life...but it's frankly not the norm, is it?

I feel that the fact that I've been single for almost 5 years is...difficult...for a lot of my friends, who are all paired off. If they invite me to dinner, well, that's gonna be an odd number of people, right? Of course that's awkward. The table seatings are all on the Noah's Ark principle, a single woman just makes things difficult. And someone's going to have to help me get home, because of course a single woman can't take the bus home alone at 3 AM.....oh, it gets so complicated.

Easier for them to just not invite me than deal with that kind of awkwardness. :(
