When are you getting married?

When I was in my teen years, I was always told not to get married until I finished my studies. When I hit my 30s, everybody started asking me if I am already married or when will I get married? I have answered this in two ways, depending on my mood.

JOKING - If someone ask me if I already have a husband, I would answer them that I have a lot or I don't have a husband because I already change my preference. Most people ask me this question, probably out of curiosity and concern. While other ask this question to start a conversation. Normally, I would answer this way if the person who is asking me does not have close relation with me.

STRAIGHT FORWARD and with a statement shirt - The shirt on the left side was my wish list to my secret santa about three years ago. I saw this shirt in Gang Badoy's instagram account, inspired by her Tita Ping and for a fund raiser. I have worn this during family occasions (such as reunions, birthdays and holiday parties). If one of my relatives ask me when will I get married, I would point my shirt. Then I would explain that I don't see myself fit for the role. Just like how I didn't apply for supervisory positions when I was still at the corporate world. I know I can handle the task but as much as possible I'd like to handle minimal responsibility. I am also not domesticated - I only know a little about household chores. I do not have plans yet to be married because I am not emotionally, mentally and financially prepared. Once my confidence level for these categories has reached above expectation, maybe I can entertain the thought of getting into a relationship and eventually getting married. For now, I wont let my age or anyone pressure me into getting into things that I am not ready.

Some say get just have a kid so someone will take care of me when I get old. I have utmost respect for single parents and those who conceived for this reason. But I believe that every child deserves to have a complete family if you can.

All the single ladies, raise your hands at the comment box below and how do you answer this question. :)
