I've officially hit the age where my Facebook feed is constantly bombarded with new posts of marriages, lengagements and new relationship statuses. Let me be the first to say I'm about to delete the darn thing. It's not that I'm not happy for all of my friends who are finding the love of their lives, it's just bringing me down.

I'm so sick and tired of going somewhere or meeting someone new, and the first question out of their mouth is: "So, do you have a boyfriend?" I think if one more person asks me that question I'm going to go AWOL. I'm seriously to the point of just posting a sticky to my forehead that reads: "Single For Life." I know that this is one of the many questions to expect when you go to family get togethers, but everyone from my nail lady, to my college counselor has managed to ask the boyfriend question. It really needs to stop. Since when did girls become defined by this question, like your relationship status is the most important thing anyone could know about you!? There is more to my life than boys, people.

Regarding my recent rage over the issue, I had to wonder why being asked this question bothered me so much. Was I overreacting or being too sensitive? I still think not, but I will admit -- this question strikes a chord with me. It's a somewhat sensitive subject, but I think rightfully so for any single girl. I truly do blame all the people that growing up, told me that I was so pretty and could easily get any guy I wanted, because it just isn't true and it took me a long time to understand that.

But for all you wondering, if I really wanted a boyfriend that bad, then I'd get one because, let's face it, it's really not that hard. The people we all thought would be single for life are the ones in relationships. There's someone for everyone, people! The truth of the matter is, I don't have a boyfriend because I can't get one. I have standards that are almost unheard of in today's generation and quite frankly, I have yet to find anyone worthy of my time. But why should I feel embarrassed for answering "no" every time I'm asked the dreaded question.

It used to bother me when people asked me, but I won't let it anymore. It took me a long time to feel comfortable single and on my own. It took me years to learn to love myself and enjoy life with where I'm at. I don't need somebody else to make me feel complete and whole -- just somebody to complement me -- so why should I feel embarrassed about that? Why should I take the question to heart to the point where I wonder if something is wrong with me? I shouldn't and I won't. So for all of you out there that are constantly asking this question, realize that girls have to answer this one too many times and that you should just stop.
