How should I take this?

So I think it might be a bad sign when I have become such an expert on being single that I am gain asked to review books on the subject. While the book looks interesting it perhaps doesn't bode well for my growth as a person and recent couplehood that I am a little horrified that 1) I am apparently an expert on the subject of being unmarried 2) I am appalled at the idea that I need or that any single person needs to read a book on how to fix ourselves and become unsingle. Is there really something wrong with refusing to "settle" or have we simply just not met the person worth settling for?

Upon first look the book seems to suggest there is something wrong with "not settling" which also suggests that there is something wrong with being single. I personally don't really mind being single most of the time . . .It gives me freedom to enjoy the things I want to do and do them when I want to. I do when uncoupled miss many of the quieter moments of being with someone. . .the way they smell, kissing, having someone to tell your great and not so great moments to, and having someone to take care of you when you need it. HOWEVER, I reject the idea that there is something wrong with those of us who have chosen/or just so have not had the opportunity to get married.

Perhaps I am pickier but. . .this is supposed to be a life long decision and I thoroughly believe that one really should be sure before you take that last leap into marriage. Otherwise you end up divorced. . .just like more than half of all the people who get married today. . .perhaps they would have been better off if they had looked before they leapt.

Preach on, girl, preach on. You know all too well how I feel about those people who act like being single is the worst thing conceivable.
