Ever feel pressured into getting a girlfriend?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to, but not anymore. I've come up with so many smart-ass remarks when I'm being pressured that I'm pretty much left alone about it now.

Relative: "When are you getting married, Adam?"

Me: "When you get divorced."

Um, ya... Like 24 hours a day! Trouble is: I have AS, I'm probably bipolar (90% divorce rate), and I have very high moral standards, i.e. girls who f__k outside of marriage are out (eliminating 99.9999999% of prospects).

But does LOGIC convince my friends and family that maybe -- just maybe -- relationships aren't for me? Some of them, but not the rest. I shouldn't let things like experience and observation cloud my judgment -- just bring on the mindless sex hormones so I'll grab the first evil b***h I see and ruin my life! (Note: It takes far less than a lifetime to ruin a life. It can happen in a day if you're foolish and/or unlucky enough.)

In short, I'm a little fed up with the constant pressure to jump into something STOOOPID. 'Nuf said.

There have been family members that have told me I am too old and I should be married and have children by now, but I just say I am not mature enough and I will wait, sometimes I also say that anyone has the right to choose any lifestyle one wants.

My parents know that I have this disability to socialize so there is not pressure from them.
