When are you getting Married X 1000

It is very frustrating how most of the things that everyone talks about these days are marriage & relationships. Just because one is not married, does not justify being bombarded with those classic questions / comments from family members or family friends:

"Your friend Bu-Shama got married recently, come on get your act together and follow his footsteps, what do you think of the following girl ....."

"Inshallah next year, we see you with your wife when you come visit us!!"

"What are you waiting for, just tell us which girl you like and we will hook you up!!"

Why cant they just let nature take its course? What if the person has a plan in his mind but does not want to share it? What if the guy already has a girlfriend / potential wife, who is not ready to get married yet?

Why put single men and women who are eligible for marriage into so much pressure?!

It would be nice to live your day without worrying too much about relationships, drink your cup of coffee without having to waste the caffeine on answering the mundane questions you get, and sleep at night without trying to find a way for people to just leave you alone!!!

I TOTALLY hear you on this one!! Not so much getting married per se but more on the "why don't you have a boyfriend?" or "i bet you have a secret boyfriend, don't you?" or better yet, "did you meet anyone in your work?" - seriously, that's all I've heard this Christmas season.

And yeah, what if we DO have a secret someone but just don't want to share?

Um..thanks but no thanks. Right now there are other things in life that are important, such as thinking about dancing to "yo sigo aqui", eating 64 pieces of sushi and getting bagels and coffee at Panera for breakfast. ;)
