How Do You Respond to Those Dumb Comments?

How do you respond to others when they make silly, annoying or repetitive comments about you being a single person?

What kinds of things do people say to you?

I had a couple of relatives who thought it was hilarious to regularly ask me, “So how’s your boyfriend?” I would often reply, “Which one?”

Or there was, “So when are you going to get married?” and I would occasionally reply, “I’m waiting for an archaeologist. After all, the older I get, the more interesting he’ll find me.” (Thanks for that suggestion Agatha Christie)

Or how about “I’m waiting for College to run the course ‘Christian Husband-hunting 101.'”

Or I might say: “I’m pretty amazing, so there’s no point in looking while I wait for God to send me Mr Amazing.”
