I am That Girl

I have officially become the girl that all my friends and family members make comments to about my current relationship status: Single!

I love my small town, I really do, but sometimes people know too much about you...

Exhibit A: I went to pay a bill for my mom at the chiropractor's office in my hometown. Of course, I knew the secretary, so she asked me how I was, what I was doing this summer, and then: So are you dating anyone?

After leaving the chiropractor's office, I made my way to the doctor's office to pay another bill. Last summer, I worked at the doctor's office, which is when the ex broke up with me, so I guess I should have seen it coming but...The secretary asked me how I was, what I was doing this summer, and then: So, are there any cute boys in Warrensburg?

Then later that night, I went to babysit for my preacher while he and his wife went to a visitation. Now they have both given up asking me about boys because it's always the same answer, but this time, it came from their 4 year old son: Do you have a boyfriend? Poor boy, he is just used to the ex and I always being together because that's what he has always known. He still doesn't quite understand.

Exhibit B: I was the Maid of Honor in my sister's wedding, and it just so happens the Best Man was my brother-in-law's single brother. Small town, yet again, everyone knew that we were both single. And for some reason, several people felt compelled to make comments on how we should just start dating because "it would make things so much easier." Other family members asked me where the ex was, including my aunt who knows very well that we have been broken up but still has not gotten over it, or him.

Exhibit C: I went to a funeral yesterday for my great uncle and of course, the question of the day was: So, are you dating anyone? When are you getting married? My aunt said she wanted to set me up with another guy from work that is 29. I agreed, but found out today he has a girlfriend.

My mom said: "I don't know why everybody thinks you need someone!"

I love my mom.
