The Dreaded Question

Why are you still single? This is the most dreaded question of all singletons like me. I’ve come up with 10 answers so that I could say one of these in varying occasions whenever someone asks me the very same question.

Why are you still single?

1. “The towering stack of boyfriend applications in my office is so overwhelming, I just can’t even begin to look through them.”

2. “I’m actually practicing for my stint at the nunnery.”

3. “I’m still single because James Franco didn’t ask me out – yet.”

4. “I am too busy spending time “doing me”, which includes hanging out with my books and practicing my Victorian era curtsy.”

5. “I’m not in a relationship because I am in a committed relationship with my thesis.”

6. “I’m lacking in the looks department and my personality isn’t any better.”

7. “I’m heartbroken. Sure, my last and only relationship ended three years ago, but I’m still healing.” (LOL)

8. “I’m asexual.”

9. “Because I love being single. I LooOooOoVe it.”

10. “I sincerely have no idea why I’m single.”

There’s a degree of truthfulness in all of these. The tenth however is the most dead-on.
