With the proliferation of Dopers announcing their intention to enter into the institution of matrimony, I feel it necessary to point out that I am not getting married. Nor am I seeing anyone. In fact, I’m wallowing in my aloneness.
I don’t exactly wallow in loneliness, so much as crave solitude. (Of course one can take that too far. I’m doing a pretty good job of being a hermit in a dense part of London)
Not getting married (being gay in New York State), not having a baby (being a guy), and not causing an oil spill any time soon (cause that’s not how I roll).
Wait - that’s so not fair! I’m not getting presents because I’m not getting married and now I have to send presents to the non-invitees? I’m being robbed!
I am permanently out of the marriage game from now on. I tried that for a long time and it didn’t work out worth a damn except for my kids. I am a committed bachelor for life and already told my family never to inquire about that subject again. There won’t be any more kids either. One I made that commitment, it was quite a liberating feeling. Maybe I should have a ceremony to pledge my commitment to just me before friends and family.
Not getting married, not having a baby, and not getting a damned job either!~
Nor am I vacationing, don’t have cute pet pics, don’t have a graduate in the family, and I am not currently losing weight or considering weight loss surgery.
That’s ok, you’re still welcome. The “no puppies or kittens” thing is kind of a hijack as I have a dog and he’s amazingly handsome. But he does not figure into my non-marriage plans.
