" Are You or Aren't You? "

This entry i will be speaking on behalf of myself, my own experience. I have met way too many men that can't seem to answer a somple question, " Are you or Aren't you single? " . call me crazy, but it seems to be a really easy question to answer that will either be a yes or no. i am not looking for, its complicated, kinda, what do you mean? are you serious? How much easier should I pose the question? Are you married? Do you have any children? Do you live with a female that you are romantically involved with?

I met this latest character at a Starbucks of all places and it seemed I kept bumping into him every time I went there. so he approached me and started conversation. He seemed nice and we exchanged phone numbers. on our !st phone conversation I asked him, "Are you single?". He answered me yes without hesitation. I took his word for it. It wasn't until we were deep in conversation talking about a potential date that he slipped and said to me, in reference to the topic of relationships, I am going through a rough separation now. " WHAT?!!" Did he just say separation? I took that to mean he was married. So i asked him and he then fessed up, " Its complicated". Its not that complicated, either you are or you are not single, but he was married and separated. I don't need to tell you I blocked his number and instructed to never call me again.

So I pose the question, Why do men and women have a hard time answering the question of their status?
