Token Single Girl

I am the token single girl.

And I'm tired of it.

When I talk to my girlfriends about how I would be willing to move to be with a guy they ask me why I would do that. They list out all the reasons why it's not a good idea.

I want to move onto the next phase of my life. I can't do that here in LA. LA - great place to be single; horrible place if you want to have or get into a relationship.

The way I see it at my age (28 going on 29), you either end up on the road to relationshipdom/marriage or you're the token single girl. The one amongst the group of girlfriends who is always single, constantly dating, forever heartbroken, and never quite finding that one.

I'm her.

And in a very sick way, I think my girlfriends are invested in keeping me this way. Of course, they want me to be happy, but they also encourage me to stay single. Why? Because they can live vicariously through me, I suppose. I just remember that episode of Sex and the City were Carrie is explaining to Miranda why she's moving to Paris. Everyone else moved on, even Samantha. So, why couldn't Carrie take the same risk on a relationship?
