No, I’m not pregnant. No, I don’t have any kids. No, I don’t have a fancy career. Yes, I do drive a fancy car (that I bought when I had a fancy career). But, I (on most days) do LOVE my life! Of course, my friends & family will hear me complain from time to time (or maybe a lot) but all-in-all I’m very blessed and I know that everything happens for a reason so for now I’m going to order this t-shirt and wear it to all family/community/social functions that I have to attend.
What exactly is it that I’m looking for, you might ask.
In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.
And, I don’t think that’s too much to ask for.

nope. it’s not too much to ask for. just hold out for it. it’s soooo worth it!
but YOU WILL find it. I believe that to be true in my heart of hearts!
it will find you when you least expect it … like at a kick ball game. now that’s a whole ‘nother story!
never, ever think that ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love is too much of a tall order! its out there, waiting for you! Not the fairy tale – but the real deal!
Agreed. I’ve been reading your site for a while and although I do not know you personally I feel I have gotten to know you through your posts. You deserve to find what you are looking for and I have a deep belief that you will when you least expect it. Keep being your fabulous self and never settle!!
How wonderful you are! You will find that ridiculous, inconvenient, and all-consuming love and it will knock your socks off. It will be well worth the wait and that LUCKY man will be so blessed.
Like the shirt…I can think of a few other sayings for shirts to wear for questions I don’t want to answer.
I love that quote.
You WILL find it, girl. I really believe that. It will be worth it when you find the most amazing man ever, and he will be so LUCKY to have met you!
xoxo
Nina,
No offense, but you need to grow up. You sound like a high school girl. I have read your blog for a while with no response, but no longer. You are pushing so hard that you probably push guys away. Don’t be so needy. Be independent and love yourself first. Men don’t like girls who pounce on them. Think about it.
Wow, what the hell is going on with the commentors around here lately? What on Earth makes you think its okay to say something like that to someone you don’t even know? Writing a blog doesn’t make it okay to talk to people like this. And did you even read the post? Because your comment makes NO SENSE.
Hello slynnro,
When you write a bog and have a space of comments, you open yourself up to any kind of comment. Most of the time the comments on this blog are just friends “kissing up” to Nina, but probably talking behind her back. Yes, I did read the post, and she refers to a comment by Carrie Bradshaw, a fictional character in Sex and the City. Maybe, if she talked to men and asked them their opinions, she would find that they agree with me. Needy girls get used by men who later drop them. Men don’t want girls who have a marriage agenda on their minds immediately.
WTH is with that comment ???? I don’t think she understood your post. Nina, you are not needy. GAH! You are independent and you do love yourself. That is evident with the love you have for others. You? Pounce? NO. Seriously, Nina. I hope that comment doesn’t upset you. Cause we know the truth.
That wonderful person is out there. But it has to be someone good enough for you! Cause Nina doesn’t settle
xoxo
Perfect tee for you! You are precious and deserve to hold out for THE BEST. Life is too short to settle for anything less than bliss!
What kind of sad person goes around trying to make people feel bad about themselves? Michelle, apparently.
And you actually DON’T open yourself up to that. It’s called the delete button.
Love it! That way you can avoid your great-Auntie Louisa bothering with those nosy questions!
Love, love, love that shirt…and your attitude. You go, girl!
That wonderful person will have to be a wimp who Nina can order to meet her every need. I think that’s her definition of true love. A real man has and will run from Nina. All she ever talks about or seems to think about are weddings, and meeting someone. Maybe if Nina got a life of her own and didn’t live with her parents, her life would be better. Nina’s chronological age is different from her mental age. Grow up and be responsible, Nina
ummm please ignore the rude comments because you can and will find it with the right person just when you arre meant to!
Nina, I really do love this post. I just know that there is someone out there that is perfect for you and you don’t ever have to settle for someone who’s not (and fyi, I’m not trying to “suck up” to you by saying that…that’s actually what I think)
Oh my god. I love this post! I hate it when family and friends ask annoying questions about my life that I don’t have answers to. I may need to post this on my blog too!
It will come when you least expect it. Like in my case, in a bourbon coma passed out at the pool on a Memorial Day cookout=) First date followed a couple of months later…. It will happen when it is supposed to!!!
Wow! You know what they say, misery loves company. Don’t listen to any rude comments. Is it really necessary to write something like that?
I think this was a great post and yes, you are blessed and yes, you will find someone out there that will sweep you off your feet. Everybody’s timing is different. Just because someone gets married right out of high school or college doesn’t mean everyone has to! What kind of fun would that be now??
Love that saying and love the tee! Don’t settle girl:)
Hey, I don’t think you have to worry about Nina settling as she has no one to settle with–OOPS!!!! However, I’m sure that walking around with that stupid tee shirt on will bring guys from everywhere.
Oh, and thanks for making my day with all of your stupid comments. I needed a good laugh and this blog is always good for that!!!!
Cute
Kinda reminds me of the “Pasty By Choice” shirts
What is needy and unrealistic about wanting to fall in love? Have we become so jaded and blasé that we’ve come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is settle? God, I hope not.
And Michelle, if you’re life is so much more fabulous than all of ours, why the hell are you hiding behind a fake screen name and wasting your precious time pushing the refresh button on your computer? For someone who thinks she has all the answers, you sure have spent a good 2+ hours on a blog which you deem unworthy of your precious time.
wondering if it occured to michelle that the reason you’re not married is that you have high standards for yourself? which is a GREAT thing. to quote cb again, “some people are settling. other are settling down. and some refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies.” good for you for holding out for butterflies!
AMEN Kate! Plus, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, NO ONE is anonymous on the internet. Just because “Michelle” hides behind a fake screen name doesn’t mean we can’t track it.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Stop hiding. At least Nina has the courage to put her convictions and beliefs out there. You, Michelle, are a coward who needs a hug.
Because obviously Nina is wearing this shirt to attract high quality men. And not as a “shut the eff up” to family who won’t mind their own business.
Definitely not too much to ask Nina
You deserve that and MORE!! And don’t worry about these ridiculous comments!! You are a real person that we all support.
Let these harsh/rude/fake people be who they are…let them comment all they want! Who cares, we love you Nina!
i am with you. i get really annoyed when people start to tell me about i am too picky and should settle….
its not too much to ask! It will come I truly believe that !
Hey,
First, I am working on the computer and multitasking—-maybe you love lost chics have never heard of that. Secondly, last time I checked, this is a country that has free speech. Thirdly, I am not hiding behind anything—-come and find me. I would love to see the kiss up losers who want to find butterflies—-whatever the Hell that means. I am married and showed my husband this blog and all your comments. He was hysterical. Thanks again for providing some humor in our work day.
Dear Michelle:
Are you high?
Michelle, Michell, Michell…Here’s some advice. First, WORK is WORK. And if you are REALLY so important doing something as equally important as say (I don’t know), saving a life, bringing about world peace, helping the poverty stricken, serving your country, etc. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TIME TO READ A BLOG WHILE WORKING EVER SO HARD! If you don’t like Nina, and you don’t like her blog, and you don’t like us-her followers, here’s a simply way to remedy your issues: DO NOT READ THIS BLOG! I strongly suggest that you don’t entertain us with your company and your opitions. In fact, I’m sure a very, very busy fulfilled WIFE (with an equally busy carerr) would have SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO than waste her time here, with all of us! SO, go and take your FABULOUS self to a blog that would meet YOUR needs better.
Thanks SWEETIE! And CHEERS TO YOU AND YOUR FULFILLED FABULOUS LIFE AND HUSBAND!
Cheers!
I think it’s a great shirt and good for you for waiting for the right person and the right time. I’ll b 33 when I get married this year and could care less about the fact that I didn’t settle and marry the wrong person in my 20′s. I traveled & had a great time and learned some, sometimes hard life lessons but it was worth the wait to find my fiancee who came into my life totally unexpected. As always I think your blog is great, I am not a “kiss up” and do not understand all of the negativity regarding this post. It’s your blog Nina, keep on being you.
This is my favorite quote from Sex and the City, next to her answering machine message “Hi, I’m not here but my shoes are…leave them a message” and “I like my money right where I can see it…hanging in my closet”
My dear…you deserve the world. You are such a great catch and I just know Mr. Perfect is going to walk into your life very soon. If I were single and a man, I would so be stalking you 
Nina, it will definitely happen when you least expect it! You are still young!
You will find that, Nina! I just know it. You are such a doll and have everything going for you. When you do find it, I hope you’re still blogging so that we can all hear about your romantic love life. I just KNOW it is going to happen!! Don’t settle for less!
Love this post. Love this shirt. Love your outlook! You’ll get it. Xoxo-BLC
you keep holding out for that once in a lifetime love.. because it’s out there!! and you will totally find it!
