Single ladies, how do you respond to "why aren't you married yet?"

[MTSUGURL]

I got asked this by my aunt at my brother's wedding. My boyfriend had broken up with me just that Monday, I had been engaged to a man that treated me horrible prior to that, and my brother is 5 years younger than me. I told her, "Actually, my boyfriend just broke up with me, and that's a bit painful. Thanks for bringing up my singleness today, and now I'd just really like to go enjoy my brother's wedding."

Now, 6 years later, I very rarely get asked this question. I think a good bit of my family has given up on me. The last time someone asked, "When are you going to just get married already? You're 31!" I said, "I don't know. Why did you wear those shoes? They're hideous." Not exactly the height of wittiness or maturity, but they were horribly ugly and I wanted to be as rude as she was being.

I want to get married, I have a biological clock that is ticking; however, I refuse to settle for just anyone. I've been asked more than once, but each time I knew that if I married them it would end. Until someone asks me and I don't have that feeling, I will be single.
