Emotionally, Intellectually, Mentally...

So here's the deal when you are single about a certain age you start feeling really single. Your friends are all married, they have kids and then there's you and you're single. You find out that someone who is younger than you is engaged and your feeling is mazel tov to them but what about me? Most recently I found out that someone with no social skills whatsoever is engaged. So I had two reactions 1. OMG he's engaged really who would get married to him? I guess that means to every pot there is a lid. 2. What about me? Of course I found out this information in shul and start talking to one of my friends about it who happens to be married. He said I have no social skills and I managed to get married my comment was that is not true. He said well how do you feel about it emotionally, intellectually and mentally. I answered mentally I can be happy for him... (Although he has no social skills a friend of mine called him a death eater of socializing sucking all the being social out of a situation) intellectually, and emotionally WHAT ABOUT ME? Then interestingly enough I was reading the latest Nora Roberts wedding quartet book called bed of roses (Ok Shameless Nora Roberts Plug) and one of the scenes is that the protagonist had babysat someone else and the kid was now engaged. The protagonist was upset hurt etc and having a hard time with the whole thing and I thought yes exactly! This makes sense. Sigh still feeling single but at least I know there are other people out there who feel the same way. Even if it is just a protagonist in a book.
