There was no singles problem until singles got so single-minded that they stopped wasting time with anyone ineligible. Before that, it was understood that one of society's main tasks was matchmaking. People with lifelong friendships and ties to local nonprofessional organizations did not have to fear that isolation would accompany retirement, old age, or losing a spouse. Overburdened householders could count on the assistance not only of their own extended families, but of the American tradition of neighborliness. ↗

When I speak of life and love as expanding with age, sex seems the least important thing. At any age we grow by the enlarging of consciousness, by learning a new language, or a new art or craft (gardening?) that implies a new way of looking at the universe. Love is one of the great enlargers of the person because it requires us to "take in" the stranger and to understand him, and to exercise restraint and tolerance as well as imagination to make the relationship work. ↗

Shana, kalau kamu mencari cowok dengan patokan keren, itu berarti kamu belum mengerti arti dari sebuah hubungan. Yang harus kamu nilai dari seorang cowok adalah apakah dia memperlakukan kamu dengan baik. Seperti, apakah dia mau membukakan pintu untukmu, apakah dia mengantarmu pulang dan menungguimu sampai kamu masuk rumah, baru dia pergi. Cowok seperti itu yang perlu kamu pertahankan. ↗

It's always seemed to me that flirtation is a man's device for avoiding responsibility. He can say whatever he wants and knows he won't be taken seriously. ↗
