Dating

Why does this subject come up so frequently?? is it because we are all young adults, and generally we dont like to be alone? is it because media, and leaders, and family all insist that this is our timing to get married; to settle down; to fall in love?? because, i've decided that i'm not sure i wanna jump into the dating pool, just yet. i'm not hung up over someone (even though there are nights that i miss people) nor am i anti-dating. i just dont feel prepared to let someone into my life seriously. but i'm also a fairly serious person and couldnt handle being left right now; i really might fall apart completely. is that wrong of me?? or maybe just weird?? i feel like i'm the only girl out here right now who isnt ready for love, and its a strange feeling. like, we were even discussing dating at work, and the boys were like, "what about you, sarah? do YOU have a special someone?" and tony and brandon at the same time as me go "no" but my sentence ended whereas they continued and said "she has two!!! or more..." which made me laugh, but honestly. i get that a lot. do people really think that i'm such a player? or do they not realize that the only people i seem to attract are creepers anyway, so even if i were ready to date(which i'm not) there wouldnt BE anyone i wanted to. let alone two of them....
