Marriage

Goodness, I remember there was a time when I was nervous about all of my friends getting married. I thought that I would be filled with so much envy and solidarity, but goodness I am so glad that I am not married or getting married! Sounds weird huh? You would think that a 27 year old woman whose close friends are either married or seriously dating would feel opposite. That I would want what they had but I don't. They aren't really doing a good job marketing it...lol. I see the many problems and misconceptions that they deal with and I am like, "Man, I'm glad I'm single." Perhaps I need to surround myself with single people. That way I would end up wanting the married life. Perhaps hearing all the bad things that single people face would send me running into someone arms. No...wait, it probably won't. Trust me. One of my most funniest relationship story is this:

A man who I was dating one day decided to IM me while I was at school. We were talking and everything was fine, but then he typed "I love you." I got so scared! I logged off of AOL IM, shut down the computer, and ran out of the computer lab. I ran into the next office where my friend was working and the first thing she said was, "Goodness Max, you look so pale!" All I could get out was, "He told me he loved me." After calming down a bit I then told her about me freaking out, shutting down the computer, and running out of the computer lab. She laughed and said, "why did you shut off the computer? Did you think he was going to get you? Max, he can't come through the computer after you." Let's just say, after that incident, we broke up. I didn't freak out every time I heard those words...but that time if I felt it was necessary, I probably would have ran home from school.

It's probably a bad story to tell. One day I will fall in love and the man of my dreams will find this blog and freak out. But I couldn't help it. I reacted...and besides, you can't just do something like that online! Perhaps if I were looking right at him it would have been a different reaction. But oh well. What was I talking about again? Oh yes, MARRIAGE. I'm done with the topic how about you?
