Do You Even Want To Get Married?
I can’t believe that someone asked me that recently. Someone that at least sort of knows me. Or maybe they don’t know me at all. ”Do I want to get married?” Ever since sophomore year of college, I would’ve preferred to just skip the dating process and go straight to marriage. Do people think I’m a partyer? Unsettled? Am I giving off the wrong vibes?
I think people sometimes get the wrong impression because I’m a doer. I figured, if I’m not dating, there’s no reason to mull around the house, I may as well experience some life. I haven’t seen or done all that I want to do, but if you told me I would never go to another concert or sporting event in my lifetime, I would be okay with that. I’ve seen quite a lot in that sense. Travel? I still want to travel more. I still want to try more fine restaurants.
I don’t feel horrible that someone asked me if I even want to get married. I know that I do, I just hope I’m not giving off the wrong vibes (nor do I want to attract the wrong women). Thank God I’m not a woman. If I was a girl and you had asked me that question, I would throw myself over a bridge right now. Better to be married to death than never married at all.
What’s the dumbest or most annoying marriage related question or comment that someone has said to you?

yes, good thing that you are not a girl. i hate it…we all want our “better half” one day. we just don’t want to rush into it just to be with a warm body.
lol. having already been down and the aisle and then divorcing, i can honestly say if i never marry again, it wouldnt be the death of me.
maybe whoever was asking you the question was pounding the same question to himself/herself? so he/she can get a perspective from you?…lol
@joliebaobei - some girls wait forever and are left with a cold body… or nobody! =O
@HushNowLuv - i totally understand. but you know what i mean, girls who haven’t been married before still have that fantasy that having someone to marry will automatically solve half their problems, that they have to get married or they’ve failed in life.
@corolla1209 - the friend that asked was a she who’s in a long term progressing towards marriage relationship. 80% of my friends that married, married someone from their church or married a college sweetheart. for the most part it’s a sheltered bunch. maybe that’s why i’m misread sometimes, because some of them misread activity as contentment with being single?
who asked you?
that is where the problem lies….should you then just be with anybody?
You seem like you go out a lot and have fun?
