Hey Peeps,
Does anyone ELSE get asked this question, ever??? ("Buelller... Bueller... ?")
Some people mean well; others assume that you must be single because you have the plague or are somehow too subhuman to ever possibly attract someone.
I know we've had some threads asking this before, but I say, let's have some fun with this!
What are some of the most clever, amusing, and *gasp* even truthful answers you've given when asked The Question That Everyone Always Asks (especially at church potlucks and family reunions)?
Give me a few--I'm going to write a poll with some pre-made answers just for the fun of it.
However, all answers, from silly to serious, are welcome. As always, marrieds are welcome to give their input, too (after all, they were probably single once too, and/or might now be watching their single children being asked the same thing.)
On a serious note: I would never write off a real possibility to end my single-dom in the future if the right person came along. However, I must admit that as time has gone by, God seems to have put it more on my heart (for the time being, at least) to look out for other singles rather than work so hard at trying to find a relationship myself.
However, if He alters the plan... I'm thinking He'll let me know (hopefully by introducing me to the right guy.)
So what answer do YOU give when people ask you why you're single?
(The poll is going to be multiple choice and, just for the fun of it, I'm going to make it so that we can see each others' answers... Just because I think it's fun to catch a glimpse of other people's sense of humor.)
Feel free to participate in the poll, but please don't let that be a substitute for sharing your comments and answers in the thread as well!
