I am single and for the most part I am okay with this; however, there are times when I get frustrated and discouraged. One of those times is when I am invited to parties, weddings or other events where the majority of the people are married or in long-term relationships. Most of the time, there is no one there for me to converse with and let the record reflect that I don't want your man (most of the time the women think I do).
I've been invited to a few events that require an escort and I don't have one to accompany me. It seems like when you ask some Black men to go with you to an event, they assume you want to be in a relationship with them. They never think you may enjoy their company and want to hang out with them. I am not really sure what the deal is, but I know I am tired of it.
I have a P.S.A. to all the people who have these events and don't think about their single friends when doing so: It isn't that we are looking for you to hook us up with anyone, we just want someone to have a decent conversation with while at your event. Is that too much to ask?
