Some of you are more COMMITTED to the NMNK lifestyle than others. For some dating, sex, relationships are part of life but getting married and having kids is not the goal. Having fun, getting to know others - and yourself - better, focusing on creating and establishing a business, making it through Grad School, or focusing on volunteer work may be the established goal of your life. You might think of being NMNK as temporary.
As always I find NMNK - An Intentional Community - gets lost in dating clubs and woe-is-me web sights, all focusing on what is wrong with life as is (or else why would someone spend time complaining?). I only wish those who are desperate to be in a relationship were as RESPECTFUL to my lifestyle and choices as I must be to them. That is simply not the case even though record numbers of individuals are not getting married or having kids, which just might be GOOD FOR THE WORLD when it comes to limiting the population.
For many MARRIED WITH KIDS means there will hardly ever be a date night for the spouses. Which shows it can be done.
For me Saturday night has long ago ceased to be a night that I plan to be out. I prefer in, especially because I have so many interests and hobbies that I like to pursue. Sometimes I ask a friend over.
Alone but not Lonely,
Sister
