"My companionship needs are already met. Please try again elsewhere."

I had a friend trying to pull something like this for a while. It only stopped when I stopped hanging around them.

Straight people

I had a friend who tried doing this for me a few times, before I came out. Fortunately she was pretty respectful of that, but

Most people are really weird if you're not interested in that shit at all

And think you "just haven't found the right person yet!"

I really appreciate that I can vent to you lot and you guys get it. I've considered a Plurk a time or two before, but the other times it was just two or three coworkers going "oh, but what about the guy who drives for X?" (We have a lot of drivers running supplies) but today it was 5 (everybody in the break room) at once and yeah. Don't need that scene.

Tell them you're joining a nunnery, that usually works...

But dealt people need to back tf off

I get that they're thinking "wouldn't it be nice if," but at the same time, enough plz

citygrit: oh my god "the right guy" to boot. It's irksome and up there with "but you'd be a great mom". Point blank told a coworker "I know me better than you know me, and I wouldn't."

lunnaei: Autistic_Ace: thorhugs: citygrit: ceedawkes: Thank you for listening and chiming in

UGH the "you'd be a great mom" comment is so much bullshit. It's such a stock phrase that people use to just anyone and they seem to think that it'll magically make someone want babies

No thanks, I know that if I had kids, I would lose my shit. I know this. Fuck off

ceedawkes: I've told them, individually and in a group, that my goal is cat lady and I am committed to my goal.

There is nothing "great" or "cute" about a terrible parent who just has kids because society pressured them to

THANK YOU REV

all of this holy f u c k

and people who think that you're wasting your potential if you don't pop a human being out your fucking vagina

Don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said, so Personally I am waiting for the right car to come along

Stop messing with scorpion cat lady plans

OMG ALL OF THIS I've gotten it all. Especially the "right guy" and "great mom" bullshit. I got the "you'd make such a great mother" from someone who was a close friend at the time, and I was like WHAT THE FUCK GIVES YOU THAT IMPRESSION!?!?! That's one good thing to being over 40...people don't give me that bullshit anymore. Haven't since my mid-30s.

"scorpion cat lady plans" - LOL OMG yes this

You are all A+
