Single to Dating!

I am 22 years old and had been single my whole life up until 8 months ago. I wasn't looking for anyone and I was enjoying my life as a care free, fun loving, outgoing, energetic person. Last summer I started a job at a local grocery store with just one think in mind, making money for the school year. I really didnt want to make friends or have anything to do with the people I worked with, I was there to do a job and to do it well. About 3 weeks into the summer, I was over at my aunt and uncles house for dinner. My aunt, who has always been hounding me to find a boyfriend or just go out with guys, started giving me advice for making boys like me. During college, this aunt was a boy crazy sorority girl. Me on the other hand, I have dreams and goals and not drinking too much mentality. It was hard for me to here her advice when I liked the life I had and enjoyed being single. 3/4 of the way through the summer, I started hanging out with this guy from work. We really enjoyed being around each other and things started to take off. Now 8 months later, I see a hole new life. Im more open to things and ready to take on new experiences. It amazed me how much different my life is now. I know I would be able to go back to being single if I needed to. I liked the single life and sometimes I miss is, but life changes and I have enjoyed the new challenges I have faced over the last 8 months. I wouldnt change anything if I had a second chance.
