You know you have been single for a long time when...

• You no longer sneak into the movie theater when the lights are out so that no one can see that you came alone.
• You stop spreading out your purse, jacket, etc. all over the chairs around you at a restaurant to look like someone will be joining you
• You go to a wedding reception alone, compliment the groom's (close friend from my Boston days) mother on how beautiful her yard looks, and she looks around and asks,

Groom's Mother: "So who are you here with?"

Me: "No one, I am here alone."

Groom's Mother: "oh, well that was brave!"

Any more....
