Remember when you were single....?
...and people (guys) used to ask 'Why are you still single?' or 'Why aren't you married yet?' Well here were a few of my favorite snappy comeback lines that someone sent to me a while ago:
(#10 is my favorite)
Comebacks to that all time favorite question
'Why Aren't You Married Yet?'
1) You haven't asked yet.
2) I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life.
3) Because I just love hearing this question.
4) Just lucky, I guess.
5) It gives my mother something to live for.
6) I'm still hoping for a shot at Miss/Mr. America.
7) Do you know how hard it is to get two tickets to Miss Saigon?
8) I'm waiting until I get to be your age.
9) It didn't seem worth a blood test.
10) I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.
11) Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.
12) My co-op board doesn't allow spouses.
13) I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.
14) They just opened a great singles bar on my block.
15) I wouldn't want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.
16) I guess it just goes to prove that you can't trust those voodoo doll rituals.
17)What? And lose all the money I've invested in running personal ads?
18) I don't want to have to support another person on my paycheck.
19) Why aren't you thin?
20) I'm married to my career, although recently we have been considering a trial separation.
21) (Bonus reply for Single Mothers) Because having a husband and a child would be redundant.
