When i logged in to my facebook account this morning, I saw the wedding album of one of my friends, and it got me thinking, “Another wedding?” For the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing a lot about weddings, engagements, and yes, the status changes from being single into “in a relationship”.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against these romantic developments, although there may be some bitterness…or maybe a lot. Fine, I’m bitter. Shut up.

I remember talking to one of my friends, he was quite depressed and I told him not to be too serious about “dating” because that’s the entire point of being single, the fact that you can have fun dating without any guilt.  And he said, “Ana, we’re already on the marrying age, of course I want to take things seriously!” It didn’t really “sink in” to me at first, I thought it was just one of those rants people give when they get dumped.  I never really thought about it again, until this morning…

The boyfriend of my college friend is throwing her a surprise birthday party (which is REALLY SWEET! kudos to him) later and he asked for my help to contact everyone.  So, I did, and earlier, when he was counting the total number of guests, i was SHOCKED that I was the ODD number! Meaning, I was the only one without any “plus one”! Holy crap. Not that I’m afraid of being O.P or anything ‘cause that never happens to me, but come on! I’m the only single person in this party?!  What the. Was my friend right about us being on the marrying age?
