Single and Confused ....

There was a time not long back when i used to flaunt my single status and felt comfortable with it.Most of my friends were single too and future looked full of possibilities.But as time has passed by,most of the friends have got engaged and some have gone even further by marrying or announcing their plans to marry.Even this was fine with me as it is their life and i am in my own way happy for them.But few days back while attending a treat given by a friend of mine ,i was in for a rude shock.My single status made me feel not just out of place but also put me at the receiving end of some light hearted banter.
I know for a fact that there are many people out there who are single and by choice (very important).But as you start gaining in age this tribe starts dwindling.Most of my friends who are engaged always tell me how lucky i am not to be engaged ,but now i have serious doubts about this claim.Maybe the grass is greener on the other side for everybody or maybe not.But how can one know without changing ones status and that is something easier said than done.First of all you got to find the right person which by no means is easy and when you do find the right person she is already engaged(bad) or married(worse) sending you back to square one.I know that being in a relationship is no easy task ,it requires you to be everything that you are not in real life (maybe that is the fun part!).For now, I choose to be my real self !
