Relationship Status: Single



People: "So when are you getting married?"

Me: "Not anytime soon, I don't even have a boyfriend..."

People:"YOU don't have a boy friend?"



I seem to have this conversation way too often. Its usually with people I haven't seen in a long time, primary older ones...well, young ones too...my high school friends...and college friends...people I see once a year...or every Sundays...my co-workers....acquaintance also...and really close friends...pretty much EVERY BODY!!

OKAY SOOOO I'm single...since when is it a sin to be so!
It seems that there has been a lot of focus on singleness lately, I SHOULD KNOW. I'm reminded of it every day, in negative terms may I add. I know that the plan is that you get an education, get a job THEN comes marriage but some of us **cough***me**cough** take a bit longer to get there than others. It just seems that people around me are very concern about my singleness. I feel people loss sleep over it, not one day goes by where I am not reminded that I am in fact a single. I know that we all long to find that one person to spend the rest of our lives with, but I don't know why people seem to be more concern about my relationship status than I am.

Its not that I want to be single forever but I genuinely don't mind it, actually is the only thing I know. I have never been in an official relationship, though I have been close to it, but I knew it just wasn't the correct person or the time. And I think that's what it comes down to.

I know of so many people who enter into a relationship for the sake of being IN a relationship, they don't want to be by themselves, they want to have someone ANYONE next to them...that's not what I want. If indeed I just wanted a relationship I could have had that years ago, but I don't want a relationship status change, I want to share my life with the correct person at the correct time.
