How to Get the Guy.

Do we single women, those who are looking for love, really need another person/book/television show telling us that we are doing something wrong or giving us new and different means of finding Mr. Right?

As a fan of answering the rhetorical question, allow me to shout NO. No no no no no no no. NO.

Every time I read a book (hello, He's Just Not That Into You) or see a commercial (yes, ladies, the eHarmony personality profile is still free!) or see a celebrity break up with one man and immediately head into the arms (okay, who am I kidding...into the bed) of another man or see another television show (such as today's premiere of How to Get the Guy) I think to myself: Wow. There must be a different way to do things. Maybe if I tried this or said that or went here, Prince Charming will fall into my lap and we'll live happily ever after.

Maybe. But how do I know?

All of these shows and books and "real life" situations with which I find myself inundated just serve to make me more frustrated and annoyed. There always seems to be a new way to do something or a new avenue to venture down...and you're always left wondering "what if." As the typical lifelong overachiever, I don't like thinking I'm not doing everything I can. But, LBH, I'm more concerned with the fact that I feel responsible for the cards dealt to me. Yes, I've surely made bad decisions. But is it my fault I'm still single?

For my own sake, I hope that isn't a rhetorical question.
