I have a date tonight. A blind date. I am not excited (I haven’t even shaved... in two weeks), but (and this is my grandmother’s voice speaking to me): I am running out of time, so I have to give all my options a shot. After all, I can’t possibly be “fulfilled” and “normal” without a husband. I feel pathetic, and desperate, and I have never been desperate when it comes to men.
I used to actually really like being single, now I feel like I’m supposed to be ashamed of my single-dom and be thankful for what I can get. Having a broken baby maker and running out of time and all…
Is it wrong to ask a man on a first date to sperm in a cup just so I can get his swimmers tested and make sure I’m not wasting my time?
