Lessons in Social Discourse

[thepeopleseason]

If, in the midst of a conversation, you ask the other person if they have a significant other, and they say "no," "Why?" and "Do you try to find one?" are not entirely appropriate followups.

It forces the other person to craft bullshit responses like, "Yes, but there's just no one in particular I'm interested in that's mutually interested in me at the moment," to desperately avoid acknowledging the fact that he's currently a dateless loser.

Here endeth the lesson.

your response should always be.... "I will when I get around to it..."

end of conversation..

works well when the folks or friends of the folks ask when are you gonna get married..
