"When Are You Going To Get Married???"

Ah.. the ultimate pain-in-the-butt question. I get so sick of hearing this question sometimes, i feel like strangling the person who asks it! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t plan to be a spinster and neither am i a man-hater. Its just that some things are better left private, and this question will ultimately lead to private details of whatever relationship I have (or lack thereof).

I tried to tell my woes to my friends about this particluar topic, but it all backfired with me managing to upset my friend (who was actually trying to help) due to misunderstanding and my own dissatisfaction with this question. To that friend (you know who you are), I’m truly sorry.

Ironically, I came across this interesting article from Joke-Of-The-Day today that perfectly completes my predicament. A list of the best comebacks to the ultimate pain-in-the-butt question!!! I’m seriously thinking of using one of these comebacks in future. So to those who’re in the same boat as I am, feel free to use any of these comebacks to get that much needed lighthearted effect whenever this too-serious-for-comfort question arises! (My fav: no.3, 8 & the last one! >:P)

Comebacks To "Why Aren’t You Married Yet?"

You haven’t asked yet.

I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life.

Because I just love hearing this question.

Just lucky, I guess.

It gives my mother something to live for.

My fiancee is awaiting his/her parole.

I’m still hoping for a shot at Miss/Mr. Malaysia.

I’m waiting until I get to be your age.

It didn’t seem worth a blood test.

I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.

Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.

I wouldn’t want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.

What? And lose all the money I’ve invested in running personal ads?

I don’t want to have to support another person on my paycheck.

Why aren’t you thin?

I’m married to my career, although recently we have been considering a trial separation.

ENJOY!!!
