Dear Diary,

Wow. I am overwhelmed by the number of books I'm being recommended, lately. And I do plan to get to all of them. Once I finish struggling through the boring one. At any rate, Sundays usually afford some fun with the few singles that do show up at church.

Today was mildly humorous when the subject of struggling marriages came up. Not that marriages that struggle are funny in the least bit, but when my friend who is also single leaned over to me and commented that she's having some real marriage problems, I concurred, with a simple, "Yea, I'm struggling, too!"

The single guy next to me didn't quite pick up on the banter and mumbled something about struggling to just find a date.

While it's hard to give earnest wisdom as a girl who writes a (somewhat) public diary about being single, I would advise, however that if that is your circumstance (struggling to find a date), don't brag about it to your potential dates. It is an immediate turn-off. One then begins to wonder why that is, and start looking not only at your faults, but looking for your faults.

I struggle with this frequently. Being humble is not always the best course of action, I think. Humility does not always exude confidence, and I think confidence sells....in the dating realm anyway. Just an opinion.

I wonder what tomorrow holds...
