Birth of a new theory

I remember a few years ago when my older friends/ relatives would say "Just wait a few years, then everybody will be getting married." Sure enough, they were right. My facebook feed is filled with people talking about buying wedding dresses, posting pics of their weddings, and gushing about the conjugal bliss. My family was right (for a change).

It's no surprise that neither myself nor any of my closest friends are part of this group. "Birds of a feather..." But, it has made me do some thinking. Maybe some people are just marriage material, and others...well, not so much. The people who are getting married/are already married were always the people who were consistently in a relationship. True to form, during a discussion with my married cousin I made a statement that I'm happy being single. She replied with "I'm a relationship person." Part of me questions how anyone can make such a statement? How can you possibly always be in a relationship? Does that mean that you've lowered your standards, and that you're willing to settle for Mr. Good Enough for Right Now? I find it hard to believe that people can bounce from relationship to relationship all the while being completely head over heels in love? Gimme a break. My gal pals & I are not single because we can't get dates or we're socially inept. We're single because we're picky and we don't want to settle.
