My mom has been on my case lately about why I am still single. I have been asked to be a bridesmaid 5 times this year, so she sees my friends getting married, and I am just over here like "What's on Netflix now?"
To my defense I am only mid-twenties and very career-oriented. And to her defense, she says she just wants to know that I am protected (and is probably sick of me calling them when I have a flat tire).
This is a legitimate conversation we had a few months ago:
Me: Mom, want to hear some good news?Mom: You got a new job?!Me: No, even more exciting!Mom: You got engaged!!!!Yes, to the guy that you've never met....
Every so often when we talk she will throw out ideas of where I should meet a guy. She does it oh so casually, but in the back of my head, I think "Wow I really will be single forever."
Here's my mom's guide to me meeting a man and my defense - because I am not hopeless yet right?!:
Church: Yes I should go to church more, I agree. However, how am I going to meet a man there? “Sign of peace, let’s date?”
Online: I know dating sites are becoming more and more popular, but my concern is.. You meet someone on there and start casually dating.. But they are still talking to several other women. When does this stop? My ex was cheating on me by being on a dating site, while we dated, and I had to find out from an old college friend, who recognized him from my Facebook pictures. So that was fun...
The Bar: I understand many people have met their significant other at a bar. But in return, nothing good happens after 2 am either. Being under the influence might not always be the best judge of character.
Through Friends: It seems like I hang out with all couples or friends that have significant others. And blind dates: do they really think you’d be a good match or is it because you are their only two single friends left?
So there we have it, the verdict: I am picky and have no game... And does anyone really bump carts in the grocery store and fall in love at first sight?!
