Short Excerpts
When I decided to start dating again, I realized most of the women in my age range were already married with kids. I didn't want to go for girls I was 10 years older than, but technically, I had no choice. And then, I never could get through the talking stage. I dreaded this stage so much, because the questions from the girls were always the same. ‘Are you married?’ 'Why are you single at this age?' 'Do you have children?' 'How old did you say you were again?' These are some of the questions I get asked by the women on the first date. Although it is understandable that they ask these questions, it gets exhausting going through the scrutiny every time.
