Questions that may result in a punch to the face:

How can somebody like you STILL be single?
Don’t you ever want to get married?
Are you jealous that your friends/bother are engaged/married and you're not?
Why don’t you go out with _________ he is a nice guy and needs to find a wife?
Is it because you aren’t worthy to get married in the temple?
How can a girl like ______ find a husband and you not?
Why are you so picky when it comes to guys?


Why can’t people understand that I’m content and happy with my life? Why is it some obscure thing for a girl my age to not be married? I understand to some degree because a lot of LDS girls do get married at a young age, but does that mean all LDS girls have to?

I think my “problem” is that I look at marriage differently then most young LDS girls do. If you know my background at all you understand. I think that a lot of girls rush into marriage way to fast and don’t realize what they are doing. Even when it does work out for them they go through a lot of unnecessary stress. I won’t do that. Deciding who to marry is the biggest decision you will ever make and I will not take it lightly. If I never find my perfect man that’s ok, I think it far better to never marry then to marry the wrong person.

I don't get asked these questions because I have no shame in telling people what's what, your too nice dizzle.
