This probably explains a lot

lemonbellaHmmmmm
I went to meet a few friends after work. They were all out with their work friends, none of whom I know. So, I chatted to my friends, remembered why I miss living close to friend #1, realised I'm still pretty gone for friend #2 (and it's still a really bad idea) and then I made some small talk with the others. So far so good.
We then moved on to another bar, and whilst my friends were busy talking to other people and I was feeling a bit like a spare part, I remembered that Covent Garden has a bookstore that is open until 11pm. So off I trot to said bookstore and experience the heaven that is shopping for books in the dark with the noise of Covent Garden in the background.
And then it hit me: This is exactly why I am single, and probably always will be: because I feel more comfortbale shopping for books than, you know, actually getting to know people. I irritate myself so much sometimes. I guess I just always thought there were other people that did that too, and that there would be some kind of bookstore meeting of minds...
All this was compounded by my mother attempting to make the same point to me, unprompted and insensitively, as mothers do.
*sigh* This doesn't usually bother me. I'm happy by myself, but it's just a combination of hormones and other things that seems to be sending me off the deep end.
Still, I have got a shiny new book....

You'll end up meeting someone when you least expect it... I know it's cliched, but it tends to be true. I only know one couple who got together in a 'traditional' meeting place (a nightclub).
Besides, you'll know all the good bookstores to show me when I come visiting!
