It does make me feel a little better that he might be out there flustered and waiting on me, though. Let me hold onto that one.  |
Just different ways to look at "the unknown." 
And  @ flustered...you're so vain.

When I get that question I usually come back with "Why does the sun rise on one side and set on the other? Its just the way God intended it to be" That usually gets the point across.
Alot of people look at being single as a death sentence, as if you can do nothing if you are not married or dating! To them I say

I'm 20 and I've been getting this from my stepmom's father since I was 17--seriously!
When I went off to college, he said I'd come back pregnant, like that was a good thing!
This is a man with 6 kids and probably 4 or 5 of them started college and never finished. All of them have kids now (several have 3 or 4) and nearly all of them are STRUGGLING. I don't know what to say except I DONT WANT YER LIFE!
I'm pretty sure I won't be mentioning my boyfriend to anyone on their side of the family until I get engaged. RUDE.

I think you have plenty of time to focus on marriage later in life after you are done with school, it people ask say you are working on school and that is your main focus.

Yesterday, I met a girl who's 17 and married. It took all my self-control not to say "WHY????"

I was doing some reading and thought of this thread. From now on, this is my mantra and answer to this question:
"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." ~Song of Songs 2:7
No more speculation for me. It'll happen when it happens and not a moment sooner.

I like that, actually, considering what's been happening in my mind is along the lines of "WAKE UP YOU STUPID @%^&%#&#!!!"

I normally tell people that I am waiting on the one who GOD kept for me.
I am currently in a serious relationship.
Its working out pretty well.

(Look of genuine shock) "I'm only 24, I'm way too young for that!"
"The number one indicator of divorce is being under 25 when you get married."
"I'm picky. I only like dating good men."
"I'm looking for perfect, and perfect takes time."
"To be honest, I haven't really been looking. I've been focused on other things, but I'll let you know when I start husband-hunting."
"It is what it is"
I find it interesting how there's such a negative association with women who are man-crazed and looking to hook one. At the same time, there's something wrong with you if you haven't caught someone asap. You can't have it both ways people! Not everyone is going to magically, accidentally meet the love of their life while focusing hard on other pursuits.
I'm thankful that my family has never pressured me like this, and that I live in LA, where there is little pressure to find a fiance in college. My entire 4 years in the house, I can think of only 3 women who got engaged while still in school (although one other woman was already married when she pledged). And our chapter was usually around 90 women strong.

"Why haven't you stopped asking me that question yet?"
Seriously. I tried answering honestly the first few times - as much as I love my family and the crazy aunts/uncles that always seem to ask that... I don't love them enough to keep all the sarcasm under wraps.
Although I did bite my lip pretty hard after saying "Single sex marriage isn't legal in New York State yet." - although it did stop the person in question from asking again (but made for interesting family Christmas letters).
