I've wondered if Facebook has an app where I can punch people in the crotch for asking me why I'm not married.

My standard answer, after I've punched them: "why do you ask?"

Well, at least the Brooks has saved me from that. That and that I think people assume(d) I am a lesbian.

really the person never asked me why, they said "oh you have a son, I didn't know you were married". Admittedly, he's kind of a tool.

When my mom and I were driving down to Florida last year, she actually asked me if I was gay after I mentioned a few friends who were in long-term same-sex partnerships. I've been single my whole life and haven't dated in, well, forever, so I'm not surprised she asked--actually, I'm surprised it took her that long! I told her that my Kinsey scale was firmly pointing towards very het.

Then I had to explain the Kinsey scale.

This is scary--it's just down the street from my apartment. I'm on the third floor, so that's a plus, but you never know who can get in through an open lobby door.

And in completely other news, it's Dibs Season!

Oops.(to Kathy's mom conversation)

I'm pretty blunt with my family, close and extended, so I don't get a lot of questions. But I also have a lot of cousins older than I that are still single and fine with it, so it makes it easier, I am sure. Now, I'm pretty sure I completely confuse my SIL (she's said as much, especially regarding kids because the way I am with hers-she even implied that I shouldn't let being single keep me from parenting. Hah. Not the issue) but she doesn't make like it is a bad thing. Just something she doesn't get.

I'm surprised it took her that long! I told her that my Kinsey scale was firmly pointing towards very het.

I am unsurprised that people assume, and it is sort of hard in practice to explain that I am a sort of non-practicing bi-sexual. I skew to the middle of the Kinsey scale though wise, but have had no physical relationships with women, and no relationships of any kind in about ten years, which is not upsetting to me. So a non-practicing, bi-sexual asexual? Which is really more than my Facebook friends, co-workers and extended family need to think about my sex life!

No one asks me why I'm not married. I guess I have a single sort of face. Or attitude.

It's a built-in "I may punch you in the crotch if you ask me that" look.

Want a pretend ex-fiance that you caught in bed with another man?
