I swear there was a 15 year long period of my life when it seemed like every single one of my friends was dealing with infertility.

Several of my good friends and I are single right now and we’re in constant communication about our dates. It’s really fun to have this massive group text going.

Here’s something to consider. When you describe your perfect partner, how often do you include baggage in your list of desires?
How many times do you look for emotional issues in your ideal man?
