We driving back from open hour with my colleagues, as usual we are chatting away about staff mostly work. We drive around the south every Wednesday and today we decide to go to a flower shop to get flowers for our boss as it was her 25th wedding anniversary the day before. As we get back in the car my lady colleague who has been in the game longer than all of us there is telling us about some rich guy who drives a merc. Can't remember why she was talking about him but then out of the blue she says to me" he is such a good catch I will tell him all about you". Still oblivious to what she is referring to I respond with appreciation and ask if he is looking into investing around our area. I have this property I've been trying to sell for the past month or so and thought she was giving me business. To my surprise she was not talking business at all. She was playing cupid. When I realised what she was saying I laughed it off and said no thank you. I then thought to myself what is it that I do that makes everyone around me want to match me up with someone. The other day at church a lady sat me down and told me about his sisters son who is doing very well as an accountant.Apparantley he saw me with her and is interested in me now she thinks its time for us to meet. All the while she is talking I am thinking to myself if this guy likes me like she is says why didn't he just ask for my numbers. Then the is the lady(bless her heart)who has taken it upon herself to pray for me to get married. If I where to count the many other times I've been told I need a man/to get married including by my own mother I will fill this whole page. What is it about being unmarried that rubs people off the wrong way? I mean common- I'm not complaining, why is everyone on my case?
I am a(not so) young and (not so) innocent girl living my life the best way I know how to and I am not exactly single.I don't feel I have to get married in order to validate my place in society. Don't get me wrong I believe in the institution of marriage. I want and will have you in the safety of marriage but I won't rush myself just because everyone around me thinks its time. I love my life and the people in it.For now it is enough and when I am ready to commit I will do so and only when I am ready. I never know what to say to those who are constantly trying to play cupid in my life for now Ill just smile and pretend it does not bother me only because I know they mean well. The way I see it is I don't have to rush into anything especially if I don't want to make mistakes. I am happy with the man who is loving me now, its complicated but real. I may look like I need a man to marry me but honestly i am ok. A lot of people seem to think women are all about getting married and having children. This are parts of being a women its not what we are all about. I've even heard guys say that girls are having it hard cause its not easy to get married this days. Like marriage is a 'girl thing'. Its funny how the same culprits upon finding out I am not exactly keen on marriage right away attack me on not being serious about life.What I know for sure is when the right time comes I won't fight it infact ill embrace it cause with it comes the possibility of having you.
