Do Tell: What's Your Best Comeback?

September 25, 2008

Thanks to a wonderful suggestion from Looseseal, I'm here to give you all a chance to share your comebacks for the most frustrating question asked when you're single: Why don't you have a boyfriend? Not only does that question put us on the spot, but no answer ever seems good enough when the reality is just that we haven't met the right person yet! So ladies, have at it and tell me how you respond to such questions.

I got a new one! "Because I'm on trial for killing my last boyfriend. He wouldn't stop asking stupid questions."

Copy away! I copied some of those from other people, too. Heehee. The "come onto me" one is slightly paraphrased from a line I once heard on Gilmore Girls ("Do you want to get married?" "Now, now, it's inappropriate for you to propose to me on your wedding day.") I can't remember where I got the "Bob" one from, but I'm pretty sure I didn't invent the acronym. I love "Just lucky, I guess." Short and sweet.

I'm married now but when I was single I'd get so annoyed with family asking why no boyfriend, as though there were tons of options and amazing men are flooding the streets every day and I must be blind and constantly rejecting these great finds, silly me. So I just said, "Well, line them up and I'll pick one!"

I usually go with 'no one wants me' pretty much stops too many intrusive questions.

I get asked alot because I don't wear my wedding ring at work and I have pictures of my seven year old son all over my office. My reply: Oh I need a baby daddy... you know anybody that likes Mommies?
