"So when are you getting married???"

Recently, I've been hit with this IRKSOME Q three times over two consecutive days. I'm not even engaged yet!!

Wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to answer?

Many Thanks. :)

That depends. Are you a guy or a chick?

[Senator Pardek]

This is my stock response that makes the jaws hit the floor: "I don't live in either Vermont or Hawaii".

How about this:

I just haven't found the right species yet.

[Ipse Dixit]

My stock answer to all such personal questions that I find slightly intrusive: "Why do you want to know?"

[Slush]

when i find someone I love and want to make the commitment? Is it harder than that? Or maybe, nunya bidniss ...

[k2blader]

*L* Oh, it matters?? Chick here. :)

Well, if they're asking because I am living with a woman I've not married, I'd say, "Oh, marriage is for people with morals! I just want sex on-tap without binding commitment and responsibilities!"

If they're asking because I am living with a woman I've not married and we have children, I'd say, "Oh, marriage is for men! I'm just a little boy who's passed puberty, and I've found a woman stupider than I!"

If it's neither of the above, and they're just being nosey, and it bothers me, I might say, "No less than a year after the last time someone asks me that."

If it fits, it's yours.

Just say "you are too young to die." I still use it...

This is my stock response that makes the jaws hit the floor: "I don't live in either Vermont or Hawaii".

This would be a great one!

...But I *do* live in Hawaii! *LOL*

"To whom?" might be a good response.

[JRandomFreeper]

My wife keeps asking me the same thing.

Oh, I'd just tell them that they don't allow you carry firearms in Ireland....so I'm waiting for the laws to change, and my dad to get a shotgun! *L*

"So when are you getting married???"

I answer, "Some time after hell freezes over." But then again I am divorced. ;)

I would never marry before my mom does.

[Silly]

Are you a guy or a chick?

A very horrifying picture of the "Kids In The Hall's" Chicken Lady's parent just came to mind.

[francisandbeans]

just answer it this way:

So it must be true...misery does indeed love company.

[Syncro]

So...when are you getting married?

*ducking and running*

[RayBob]

Oops, sorry...thought this was a Star Trek thread!

[Billthedrill]

I answer it with a question "how old is your daughter?" Seems to work every time...
