ntrprnr 0 #1 October 14, 2005 I love my friend, I really do - I'm the best man at his wedding tomorrow. But seriously - can we just talk for a SECOND about how GD SICK I AM OF GOING TO WEDDINGS SINGLE? Let alone everyone going, "so when are YOU" getting married? I'm trying to come up with new lines to respond. "Well, ma'am, that means I'd have to move and re-register as a bestiality offender - it's just not worth it. More shrimp?" But seriously - Ugh. With that said, He's been my best friend since high school - 18 years... So of course I'd do it. And I'll be wonderful, and make a great speech, and all will be well. But I've been to 5 weddings this summer. I'm just soover it._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

dunesurfer 0 #5 October 14, 2005 You should look at this as an opportunity to get laid... there will be single women there.... there are always single women at weddings\receptions. Unless you are unlucky enough to go to a "dry" reception, your chances of scoring are pretty good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntrprnr 0 #6 October 14, 2005 I agree... But you know what? I'm sick of it. Getting laid is fun - no doubt... But... I dunno. It's... dare I say... empty? I know - I never thought I'd be saying this, either. I should be all over the whole single guy who looks damn good in a tux with tons of drunk bridesmaids around... But... I dunno. I'm just kinda over it. I'd kinda like to be the guy getting married, you know? At least that way, I dunno - maybe it's not so damn empty. Eh. such is life. Big smile. BIG SMILE!

NWFlyer 2 #8 October 14, 2005 Oh, I so feel your pain. I've stopped going to weddings unless I'm really close to one or both of the people involved. If it involves lots of travel, I'd better *really* like them. I went to one last summer where there was exactly one single guy there who wasn't someone's date. And what does the bride do? She sits me with all the married couples and he's all the way across the room. Granted, said single guy was the bride's former f-buddy, but still. Have fun, buck up, and maybe you could meet some cool chick to date, not take home in a drunken stupor tomorow night. Of course, if you try that whole "gosh this wedding is so beautfiul I just wish it was me up there," the chicks are either gonna think you're gay or full of shit and just out to get laid."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

dunesurfer 0 #11 October 15, 2005 Having been married(and divorced) twice, I have to say married life was, at times wonderful. However, it was also some of the most miserable experiences in my life. I am enjoying being single again. Based on my own experience I prefer being single.... but that is just me. Your mileage may vary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #13 October 15, 2005 I don't like weddings... and frankly my mom is worse then any of my friends... She actually told me over the phone a week or so ago that my brother and I needed to hurry up and have kids as we were the only ones likely to be around for her to "Enjoy the Grandchildren." Of course never mind that both my brother and I are VERY single... I think she's going to have to settle for dog sitting for a while yet... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
