I <3 Wednesdays: Poll - Why are you (still) single?

The first SFTW poll! (Because we want to hear from you, and because I'm having exams and need to study much harder than I am doing so right now for it.)

The question is simple, and we get asked it time and time again, and often by relatives who see you once a year during Chinese New Year or something - 'Why are you (still) single?' and the variations of it such as 'So, any boy/girlfriend yet?' and 'How's the love life?'. Sodabug- Or, as a certain family member asked me, "Are you a lesbian?" There's also the variations of "You're leaving it a bit late aren't you?" and "All the good ones will have gone! Better hurry up!" Even worse are the tried and true "You know, I know this guy(girl) at work/church/friend's son(daughter)/neighbour's aunty's brother-in-law's girl/boy- he's very nice they say...." As you can tell, I'm at that age. 

Many times we just laugh it off or joke about it, saying 'Ah, bo lang ai lah' (Nobody wants me). But what IS the real reason? SFTW promises not to tell your relatives. (:

As polls are, they are anonymous. And just for this poll, we ask especially for the singles to vote. - For that, it includes all the authors of this blog. OHMYGOODNESS!

Vote away!

"i'm secretly in love with a girl but i'm in denial that im a lesbian."

sodabug said...

how about "I've been called to celibacy"?

ange said...

that's probably nearly in line with 'i choose to be single'.

'i've got more important priorities at the moment?'
