My good friend recently got asked out on a date by a boy in her class. This brought home a persistent thought that regularly plagues me. I feel like I've failed as a woman. I've never been asked out by a guy. I'm a heterosexual, 25 year old woman who's never been on a date. I'm alone and I can't decide why that hurts so bad. How are single women viewed in our society? Is my femininity based on a man's acceptance? As a single woman, am I just an androyous blob waiting for a man to claim me? I don't throw myself on men or wear tight clothes. I don't present myself as a available piece of meat ready for potential mates to project their wants and needs onto me. I know there's a guy out there that will accept me for my kick ass self. In the meantime, I struggle with finding a feminine identity that comes from inside of me versus an extrinistic two dimensional definition that none of us can fit into to. Am I the only one that struggles with this? How do other single ladies feel?
