- Absolutely...contrary to what many believe, there are actually *benefits*
- to being single and unattached! :-) Someone made a good point the other
- day though...if you get *too* comfortable with the single life, and too

- date and don't really care. Which is probably something that will be regretted
- a little while "down the road."
