8. My fiancee is awaiting his/her parole.
9. I’m still hoping for a shot at Miss/Mr. America.
10. Do you know how hard it is to get two tickets to Miss Saigon?
11. I’m waiting until I get to be your age.
12. It didn’t seem worth a blood test.
13. I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.
14. Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.
15. My co-op board doesn’t allow spouses.
16. I’d have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.
17. They just opened a great singles bar on my block.
18. I wouldn’t want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.
19. I guess it just goes to prove that you can’t trust those voodoo doll rituals.

i enjoy my freedom, to come and go as i please and to answer to no one,but myself
I found this list of things to say when asked “Why am I not married yet” interesting. I liked most of them and do plan on making use of some of them,wheras I found some of them to be potentially offensive. Thank you to whom it may concern
not yet met mr. right. i met some mr. wrong and they break my heart, so i have to be careful and choose the best.
Once you’re married, the question becomes “When are you going to have kids?” ;-p
“I’m gay.”
my fav is Because I just love hearing this question.
- Why aren’t you thin yet?
you couldn’t find any more acid answer!
I get this question, but it’s often followed with something like “I know you love kids. Don’t you want children?”
I’m thinking I’m going to stick with my recent standard… “Because I’m going to use the wedding money to buy some baby fertilizer and go it alone.”
You really can’t imagine the looks I get from my family when I tell them about my plan!
ive been using this one for years….
“no way….I’m too young to die”
Because a marriage license is a license to steal.
Because in a few years you’ll be unhappy and take my home, children, and my future income. Big thanks to all the women on this site, for not getting married, sorry but you won’t be happy ever.
