What?

Okay, I don't get it. Did someone stick a sign on my back that says, "I want to be a wife and mom, yesterday!"?

I am not obsessed with getting married and having kids. I'm not. Just because I describe the dating scene in Dayton as being equivalent to the Sahara for a 23-yr old female does not mean I'm obsessed. Its true, I'm a worrier. I sometimes worry that I'm going to be in school for so long that no man in his right mind would marry me and have kids with me...but aren't those normal female psychotic rantings? I also worry that guys are intimidated by me...you know, what with all my book-learnin' and such.

Over the last three months I have had three male friends tell me in not so many words (well, one of them in these exact words) that my biological clock was ticking so loudly it was disturbing his peace. I personally don't understand what is wrong with knowing that I definitely want to have kids, one day in the future. Besides, if I were so concerned about the whole marriage and children thing, then why didn't I stay with the guy who told me he wanted to marry me? And why don't I accept every date offer I get? A desperate woman would be doing the things in the two preceding questions. I'm merely questioning whether I'm going about my life in the proper manner. But as you see when it comes down to the wire I don't stay with someone just to get married and I don't accept every date offer...so see? I can't be obsessed with the idea.

Quizas estoy una poquita preocupada, pero no estoy obsesionada.

I guess if you want me to stop talking about it you should just find me my perfect mate so I can get married... ;)
