If you have been single for a while, no doubt you will start getting questions like, “Why aren’t you married yet?” The question of why you are still single may come from your well-meaning Aunt Betty or a smug old school mate who has gone on to marry a successful guy, and is now gloating about it.
There are some great things about being single and not settling for the first guy who comes along, like hanging out with friends and doing whatever you want to do, when you want to do it.
Here are a few clever comebacks you can use next time someone asks why you’re still not married.
Of course, it will depend on who’s doing the asking, but go ahead, tell us what you think is the best answer to this nosy question.

Marriage is not a word. It’s a sentence.

My mum kept asking me when I was gettin married and it was getting really annoying. So
I told her that when a someone gets murdered they investigate the spouse first, that tells you all you need to know about marriage. That shut her up for a while.
I’m not married yet because I’m just using her for s3x
