Things To Do Before You're 30 Part 6 By Sarah Tomlinson

Continued From Part1, Part2, Part3, Part4, Part5

You know, I just got home from watching that new film Wimbledon and I can only think one sentence. Over and over again, and its really bugging me. I'm getting sick of waiting.

But I am, I am getting sick of waiting, sick of waiting for my Peter Colt (Paul Bettany if you were wondering, and phwoaarr, at that). I sat there for 2 hours and watched a guy and a girl fall in love. Something, admittedly I don't think I've ever done before.

I know I'm only 19 and I've got my whole life ahead of me, so they say, but I am getting tired of waiting for love. Everybody seems to be getting what they need where's mine? My man, my love, but not just love .. The kind of love that sweeps you off your feet. The kind that you can't live a day without. The kind where there are no words, just 2 people. 2 people just lost in each other. That Is what I want.

My mum always used to say to me, I want, never gets .. maybe that's my problem, I want it too much. But do I? Aren't I well within my rights to have more than, wake up - go to work - come home - go to bed?

People search their whole life for the one, the only person that can give them what I'm talking about .. but I don't want to wait, I'm greedy, I want it now (yeah I was making a joke there). But seriously, working where I work, I meet new people every day of my life, ok so the only thing I may say to them is .. This is a 3 million pixel digital camera with a 3xoptical zoom and its £250 , but what if one of those people is my meant to be? I always think that THE ONE will be the one that you pass in the street, or just bump into, and the eyes meet, and that's it, you both feel the same way for the rest of your life.

Yes, I know, I am soooo romanticising but I am soooo in the mood for it and its bugging me.

The other day at work someone asked me to go out with them, so like you do, I say, who's going, the answer was, him and her, him and her and him and her, and me. I've done it before, I'm sure I'll do it again at some point, and that's, being the 3rd wheel. I don't know what it's like NOT to be the 3rd wheel. Yesterday I nearly went for internet dating, but I don't know, when I was 14 my mum and dad used to keep me out of chat rooms for obvious reasons, them being more than often dangerous place. But how else are you supposed to find them, then? Sorry, Him/Her?

Oh I don't know. Usually by now I've puzzled my way confusingly out of a little dilemma like this, but that's because it's usually some whim or fad but this is really getting to me. Maybe I should go see one of those psychics and see if they know what's wrong with me. Is Diesel Perfume a man repellent?

Things to do before you're 30 .. Go see Wimbledon (the film). Seen it twice already, its fantastic, but if you're not already in love, be careful because by the end of it, you will want to be.
