Time also has a wonderful interview with Judith Sills on their website. She talks about the idea of “turning single.” Here’s what she says:

To become single involves more than the absence of a partner. It is a wardrobe change. It is a social status change. It’s a financial change. It is a change in your whole sense of self. So in order to be part of the new romantic world, over time you have to become a single woman and see yourself actually walking into a party and having a person say to you, “Would you care to go out for a drink after this party,” and leaving the party with him. What an odd thing, to leave a party with someone you didn’t arrive with. You haven’t done it since you were 23.

If anyone out there can relate, come and share your story. We want to hear about your dating woes, or your successes. And you can read the entire interview here.
