Good day,
I am quite amazed to the behaviour that I have seen to the officemates of my mom. As they are somehow worried because I am still single. They are all asking a lot of questions, why I am not yet married, do I have a boyfriend, is my boyfriend not yet ready to settle, or am I not yet ready to settle.
With reference to the above, I really dont know why they are so bothered. Hence, if you will ask, I am not bothered at this point. And, I am still fine being single.
Thus, I believe if you are meant to be married, then, let it be. And if you are meant to be single, then, let it be.

You are right.
If someone is meant to be live single all his/her life,that is his/her destiny and choice.
I have two close friends who are old maids and they say same words like what you've wrote here.
It is their choice,they are never bothered about marriage or getting married when they are young.
One says,when her boyfriend asks her to marry him,she said she's not yet ready and give her bf a choice to look for another girl...and that's what happened,her bf look for another and get married.
So, i do believed that,when one is destined to be single all her life..let it be.
No one can forced someone to get marry ,if the concern is not interested with married life.

I agree with you. There's not a limit age or anything for being married. Love isn't something that has to be forced, and marrying or not once you find a significant other is your own decision, not something for others to judge.
I'm glad you don't seem bothered about what they say and that you are confortable with your life, as that's the best thing

I guess they are just curious maybe that is why because they are your mom's friends and it's a friend's question to a friend.Anyway, it's your life and you are not worried, why should they bothered.
Marrying someone is not like picking a guy and if it didn't work out you can just let him/her go.And I guess you enjoy being single at the moment.I know there are people who are meant to be single even if they don't want to.Like you said, if it's your destiny let it be.Enjoy yourself my friend.

i totally agree with you. There is nothing to be rush with that matter. I think this is no contest after all.
Me i am happy for being a single mom. So i don't mind if i don't have boyfriend or even get married someday.
I cherish these every moment of my life.
So girl don't get affected with what they say, they are jud to dependent with those kind of emotions.

Marriage and relationships are a strong part of tradition and there are many people out there who are hardcore traditionalists to the point where if someone they know falls out of that tradition they become uncomfortable and try to make them conform.
Many people also have a different idea of what a relationship is and do not have standards as high as the next person. I personally have been in very few relationships because of my high standards but that is okay because living up to them is more important to me than actually being in a relationship even though I desire both. Many people I know would rather see me hook up with some generic girl to go on dates and get married. That kind of cliche life is not appealing to me whatsoever. It would be easy to participate in if I wanted to, but I choose to seek a higher form of connection.
If someone judges you for being single, let them judge you as there is nothing you can do to make them stop but there is also nothing they can do to get you to care or respond. Make your stance perfectly clear and then never discuss it again. Don't let them believe that there's a small chance they can manipulate you into getting into a relationship when you either don't desire one or are not in the right place for that right now.

Is it a cultural thing? I got married in 2007 at the age of 25. People thought it was never going to happen, and most of my family didn't meet my husband till a year after the wedding, because we didn't live in the same country as they did. If people ask, just tell them it's none of their business.

Oh boy do I agree with you! My mother is always going on about what a shame my nieces can't settle down and find "a good man." My nieces are having the time of their lives! They travel, they have a great balance of work and play and they're both very happy with their lives.
Why do people get bothered by single people? What does it have to do with them anyway?
