bring on the beer

I was answering some interview questions when I just realised that I have been single for 5 years. This will be my 6th year of singlehood and if things doesn’t change soon, still counting…

Some people might think that it’s depressing. I have never really thought about it like that.

I have a great family, wonderful friends, and somehow they just made up for the lack of a steady male companion.

Of course I bitch and whine about how I would like things to change, how great it would be to have someone to hold hands with, but deep down I am wondering if I am ready for that change.

There have been slipped opportunities when things don’t and can’t work out, but I am not taking those into account. I don’t consider them boyfriends; relationships maybe but of a different, more complex and complicated kind.

At the wedding dinner, relatives a few times removed kept asking me when it would be my turn. I don’t even have a boyfriend to speak of!

Or maybe my perspective is so screwed that I should in fact be worried and start presenting myself better and snatch that ever elusive boyfriend-material fella.

This year I turn 25. My mother got married at my age. My grandmother got hitched at 15.

Maybe my turn will come at 35.

In this age where women are getting married at a later age, it is really not that scary a thought.

But first I’d have to snag a fella first, yeah? So if you know someone…

Perhaps in a couple of years I’ll be worried. Perhaps not. In the meantime, bring on the beers!
