maybe i need to get out more often, but where and how does a single twenty something woman in Colombo find a mr.possibility, let alone a mr. right? i've come to the realization, as a result of some recent observations, that one of the primary reasons women who've been in long relationships tend to stick to these relationships even after they've lost any kind of spark (or hope of rekindling it); even to the ones that tend to not show any signs of going anywhere in the near future- is this question. where and how? it turns out that it's easier to be in a deadend relationship than risk going to singleville and ending up an old cat lady that little kids will one day write horror stories about. adding to this is the herculean task of finding someone, or being found by someone, that you would be interested in and vice versa. since we don't really have much of a dating culture getting to know someone means more or less getting into a relationship. and that means having to start from scratch.
in a sense, breaking up from a long relationship is like when you're playing snakes and ladders and you've landed on a snake. you come gliding down back to where you came from. after that you have to keep throwing that dice out into the unknown once again. i guess for some it's easier putting up with the snake than having to play all over again. i can't say i blame them.

I completely agree. Although there are some people who seem to find relationships/ people they are attracted to at every corner.
At the end of the day though, it's better to be single and happy than compromise and feel half dead, right?
I say if you do find this place where the single 20somethings do hang out...please do make it public:)
@Pink Mist: ditto. :)
@N: i doubt such a place exists. maybe we should start our own! :P
