Imagine yourself 20 or 30 years from now. You've been happily married for 20 or 25 years and remember waaaay back when you first met and started dating your spouse. You think to yourself "I'd give anything to be able to relive those first moments with the partner I love so much. It was so incredible when I first began getting to know him/her."

But at that time you won't be able to relive those moments. The great thing for us is....we still have those incredible moments ahead of us. Don't let them slip by without savoring every second of them. Being that we're still single...we have an incredible opportunity to experience these first moments with the love of a lifetime that will probably be among the greatest of our lives.

You are so right. I remember waaayyyy back when I met the person I would end up marrying (now divorced), and how those feelings I had just made me float. It's been a very long time since I have felt like that. I know that when I finally do get a decent man in my life I will definitely appreciate those moments probably more than I did before because life really is short and you need to savor every moment - especially the love moments.

I know I'm savoring every single moment. I wish I could record it to view or re-live later. But since I can't I just close my eyes and let myself feel everything. Love is such an amazing blessing.

I totally agree!

This is something I have believed for a while now.

I believe so much to enjoy wherever you are at in life...whether single and alone, dating, engaged, married, divorced, whatever.

Each time in life truly has it's joys...why not just be at peace and enjoy what it has to offer?

Being single is a joy or can be. Total freedom to do things, never knowing what is around the corner, time for yourself and discovering yourself.

Dating can be joyful, too. Getting to know others, brushing up on dating skills, learning about yourself, not knowing what is next, being "New" with someone.

And, of course, being married has it's joys and challenges.

I think it's a big mistake to long to be somewhere else, and not relish where you are...although I've done it myself (but not anymore).
