Why is it that singletons are okay with it but the rest of society is determined that we will "find the right guy" anytime soon?
There are many nights when I enjoy staying in with my cutoff yoga pants on, popcorn (and milk) for a snack--don't question it, and Harry Potter on TV. Yes, E is a Harry Potter fan, sue me. My couch is comfy and I have a nice size flat screen TV (42") in the living room, who wouldn't like to relax?
FD and I have numerous stories that back this up but I'll start with this one.
So I went to a friend's wedding last summer, a Polish wedding with about 300 other guests. My friend and his wife asked if I'd mind coming alone since I wasn't dating anyone--totally fine, I'm used to going solo. Another of his single guests brought a friend as her "date" and I don't think she had it any different. From my friend's Polish inlaws, "how can a girl your age still be single?" "He's out there waiting, you'll find your prince." "Do you like being single?" "Oh honey, don't worry age is just a number." "Hope you catch the flowers, they are like magic..." um, yeah, at least they meant well. The other friend that brought a "date" was asked about 15 times how long they'd been seeing each other, when they planned to tie the knot, and if she was looking forward to starting a family. Lots of alcohol later and we all had a blast. Oh and my friends that got married--they're doing awesome and have adopted a dog together :). I'm still single with dogs...
