I guess i dont want to feel im the only one.... :D

Through the years ppl had told me a lot of embarrasing things or asked questions related with my singleness, for example every ppl i meet says "I will introduce you my cousin" and last month someone asked me "do you know that you have a limit to have children ?"

Do ppl have ask you things that you dont know how to answer or told you ridiculous things because your singleness?

YES!

People will say things like, AWE, its okay the right one is coming soon. And I'll be like.... o_O ( I don't know what the correct response is to that)

the one I don't like, more than any other is the, "When are you going to give your mother grand children?" <guilt trip. Because if love won't drive me to marry someone maybe guilt will. I should feel guilty for letting that children's pastor go because after 2 months of dating, we should have been engaged or something, not breaking up.


Married people can be strange and give the weirdest lectures. Here is a sample from a woman at my church: "What is wrong with (whatzerface)? She has a nice job, she is a nice girl, you could use a nice girl. I've talked with her parents and she's single as far as they know. I think she likes you. Why don't you ask her out? Are you too good for her, is that it? Whats your problem?"

once again o_O (I have no idea what they are complaining about or how to respond to make ^that^ stop)

Over the years my parents and friends have tried to pair me up with so many different guys, from the local grocery guy to a paramedic wheeling out a relative on a stretcher.

But the best was when my 6 year old nephew realized I wasn't married. He was upset until he thought of what I should do, he said confidently, " I know who you should date, Batman!"

I decided he's right. I'm waiting for Batman.

I get a lot of the following.. said very enthustiastically

"So.. where's your wife?"
"Is your Wife with you?"
"You must have a wonderful wife!"
"So how long have you been Married?"
"How many kids do you have?"

I love it.. I honestly take it as a compliment.. people are so SHOCKED.. I am not married and do not have any kids.. on top of that .. I do not have a girlfriend.. people believe I am LYING TO THEM!

I know I had said this before on cc, A friend of mine got married and his wife said to me " Cathy pray and God will bring you a man and then you will be a whole person." I snapped right back at her and said" I am a whole person.One is a whole number"I think its phsyco to put your self worth in weather your in a relationship or not. BTW they ended up getting a divorce.

You should totally make up answers to those questions:

"So.. where's your wife?" She's out back changing my tire
"Is your Wife with you?" Yeah, she's right there...OOH NO! She must have fallen out of the car again...brb
"You must have a wonderful wife!" She's great! I'd recommend that mail order thing to anyone. You just add water!
"So how long have you been Married?" Just a few hours. It's kinda boring, but the cake was amazing.
"How many kids do you have?" 3.5

Singleness is a season the devil tried to steal from my life..
Now that Jesus has lead me back to it.. I understood why.
Being single ROCKS! :)

Yeah.. I guess some people think we "suffer" coz we're single or we're missing something (?).
People around us tend to get even more excited than we are.. but i get a tini wini bit annoyed
whenever someone tells me...

"Hey, you're looking good today. I bet someone is inspiring you" :confused: :rolleyes:

or worse

"There's something about you..You smile too much.. are you in love?
Come on, tell me and don't be selfish you!" :eek::eek::eek:





I learned this lesson the HARD WAY. :D:D:D

I don't necessarily get embarrassed by stuff like that, but I did have one of those moments.

A lady at my father's church (he's the pastor) was talking to him after service one Sunday, and he calls me down, explaining her desire to speak with me.

I go, and am greeted with, "We've found your future wife.".

Internally, I'm like..."I didn't know I was in an arranged marriage system..."

So, she hands me a picture, and gives the brief life story of her granddaughter, Anna.

I'll be going to seminary at Asbury in Kentucky in about a year's time. She tells me that her son is alumni and on the board, and offers to fly me out there with Anna to stay for a week.

There's more, but after all this I'm like... ^^() Well, that's very kind, but I'm sure both she and I would have to have actually met each other and been friends before making that type of decision.

My family, friends, and coworkers gave me heck about it for a while after that.

Flying with a stranger to meet the stranger's brother is not weird at all, why did you say no?

Maybe I'm just lucky but I just don't get people meddling with me and my singleness. My folks have never tried pushing marriage on me, and although I'm sure Mom would love to have a couple of grandbabies from me, she keeps silent. I think that in the 13 years that I've lived here I've only had a couple of people bring up the topic of setting me up and it's never been pushed down my throat, just mentioned in passing.

I think those who know me well are quite aware that I am content in my singleness, and am not going to rush into another unhealthy relationship just for the sake of not being alone and respect that.

" When are you gonna have a boyfriend?"
" When you happen to have a bf in the near future, we want to meet him personally."
"How come you are still singe?"
"Your boyfriend must be lucky to have you."

I'm like o_O. Seriously, people really want me to have a boyfriend already coz I'm old enough but I'm the one who doesn't want to be in a relationship yet. I dont want to rush things and end up being in a cheap and deluded relationship. I want to wait God's perfect time. I want Him to write my love story.

My strategy has been to show no interest in marriage to the people around me here. I don't talk about it or women in that way really and people know it. After a while, they quit bugging you and assume you don't want to get married. So I really don't get bothered about it now. Some of them likely think I"m weird, but I don't care. I guess they'll be more surprised if I do get married. :D

Since I'm 19 I think noone expects me to be married, but the most weirdest thing that has happened to me was when one of my mom's friends tried to set me up with her son. The guy never asked for my number, apparently he was too shy idk so his mom did it '' My son thinks you are cute so he wants your number'' <----- charming .And then he wanted my email, so his mom called me and asked me for it o_O , and then she told me all about her son being a great guy with good grades and blah blah. How can you say no to a mom? Everytime I saw her she would ask me if I was still in contact with her son....so awkward.
