What are you supposed to do when you've been single for so long, you've forgotten how to date? When you've been single for so long, you're too frightened to get into a relationship because you've become so accustomed to being alone?

That's where I find myself at this point in my life. I'll be 28 in May. For many this is still a very young and active age.

Sure, I'm busy. Active professionally. Constantly working on one project or another. But socially... well... I'm about as socially active as a carrot. Like a carrot, I'm often found in a bunch, but there's not a whole lot of real social interaction going on.

I've got a circle of friends. About 50/50 in terms of guys to girls. The group is kind of diverse and spread out. They all don't interact much in other words.

I like it that way. It helps to keep my occasional nights out different from one night to the next based on who I'm with.

Now, obviously I'm not going to date the guys I hang out with... and the girls I know aren't interested. (At least that's the vibe I get.)

My friend Sheryl mentioned she has a friend I might like. But I'm not sure how I feel about getting "set-up" on a date. Especially a blind-date. Blech!

But maybe I'm just being picky and should suck it up and give it a try.

Or maybe I shouldn't rock the boat. After all... I'm mostly happy with the way I am now... Mostly.
