Couples Therapy

Isn't it strange, every time a single person goes out with a group of coupled, engaged, and married people they suddenly like to impart wisdom and dictate to you who to hit on. Suddenly, you are merely their tool, living the life they wish they had, as they vicariously live through you their sordid ideas of sexual exploitation.

I sat there in a group of 8 around a dinner table, all the people taken, except myself and my sister's friend who is 8 years my senior. Quickly, my soon to be brother in-law remarked on cue that her and I should commingle. It's obvious that people in couples suddenly think that single women no matter their age will allow any man, irrespective of circumstance to plow them with impunity. Now, as I have stated in my other posts I have not restrictions on age, and could easily find myself walking the walk of shame out of my elders bedroom. However, its difficult to save face after it has been openly stated in front of everyone that we should hook up.

For some reason people in relationships think this is a fantastic idea to state the obvious, throw out the idea of sex as if that will erase any need for courting, gaming, and closing. I wish I were around them prior to their relationships, and see how skillful their repertoire was prior to claiming their mates. I would imagine since I was surrounded by people who at 30+ were recently engaged, that they were not nearly as adept as they think they were.

Too often, the people in relationships who want to help the single people in their life, claim they are helping, but are more detrimental to the situation rather than aides. In all my years my family and friends constantly state that they are going to "find" me a girl as if it were that easy. They speak of girls that I should talk to, girls that they will introduce me to, but instead fail to even make one step forward to help the single people they promised to assist. Despite a quarter of a century on this planet, not once have I ever been set up, been on the dangerous blind date, or even been introduced to a single person specifically called upon to meet me. Therefore, for those people out there comfortable in their couples, instead of giving me "advice," do something or say nothing. If you need to live out your desire to enjoy the sordid affairs of single life let me be your marital doctor and I prescribe: go rent a romantic comedy, followed by downloading a pornographic film, take your significant other to bed, and pretend their someone else.
