the autobiography of an unknown (single) woman

Why is it so difficult for people to believe that one can be single and happy…


She (laying the groundwork) : so wassup? What happening?

Me (wary) : all good, all good. Cldn’t be better…n how’s the baby doin?

She (ignores the sidestepping…hones right back in) : very good. Healthy. Happy. So how do u like the new place? Met…

Me (quickly) : hey hey like I said all fine…I just moved into an apartment ….

She (quicker): …anyone yet? Or still single?

Me (giving up): single

She: oh (pause) sorry…

Me: ... wtf?!?

@kulpreet - reeeely? my theory's that married people want to feel good about being married by (outwardly) feeling bad for singles! while andar hi andar...;)

Jealous, Just jealous.

Just look a bit more into their face and you can see tints of green.

And they invented the middle finger for such occasions.
