Love Life

by Jenna Kantor

I can completely relate with Jennifer Lopez. In fact, I think she is lucky to have met so many men who wanted to marry her so quickly. It is unfortunate that many of her relationships did not work out. But look at her now - she is married to Marc Anthony. I don’t have anything going on in my freakin love life. I have some flirting things and a few friends with benefits and it could not be farther from what I want. But then, I look at my situation from afar and thing “Well, at least it is something.”

I don’t know how to put myself out there. All I know to do is live my life. And that is exactly what I am doing. I am living my life.
I focus on my goals and achieve them. I am ruthless with my career in musical theatre - meaning that I never give up. If I ever get frustrated with one thing that I am pursuing, I give it a break and come back to it later. I never completely give up on anything. I don’t give up.
But it is not the same with a love life. I have done the online dating thing and still have yet to meet someone who really works for me. I turned down a lot of guys online. I just know what I want and most of them didn’t have it. What do I want? Dude, the list is long. Real long. From all my flings and short lived relationships, I have raised my standards. Lesson learned. Ultimately, I want a good friend to be the one I marry.
It takes a long time to develop a great friendship. How the heck did Ms Lopez get things to happen so quickly? I wish I had “the magic touch.” In the meantime, I will keep guessing and eventually, I will meet the man who is meant for me.

    You don’t exactly strike me as a “friends with benefits” kind of girl!! Little shocked!

    When you find “him”, you will KNOW. My brother recently told me that he didn’t believe me when I told him, but that I was right! ;) Just keep being you and living life, when the time is right you’ll turn around and your “him” will be there.

    Hugs, Sara
