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

Mind you, I was 14 and planning to go to Tuskegee, but she was convinced I'd marry a Morehouse Man no matter what state I went to school in. I guess they're supposed to be omnipresent.

There is a woman in my church who is in her 80s. She had never been married, but has a daughter who is her 50s would also never married.

Sometimes this woman would ask me when am I going to get married. I replied 'I don't know'. She would also ask me if I wanted to get married. I told her sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

I am 35 years old and don't have a boyfriend.

However, I would love to tell the next person who asks me why I am not married if they are going donate to the 'Find Mr. CatStarESP4 Fund'. Another answer would be 'I am married to my education'.

I don't get why it is anyone's business about your marital or relationship status.
