So there you are sitting, minding your own business when you run into an old friend that you haven't seen for quite some time. He/she ask you how you are and general conversation arises. Everything is pleasant and you wonder why, oh why, you didn't call this person back sooner. They tell you about how awesome their life is and how super fantastic their significant-other is. Then he/she asks, in that friendly and polite manor, who you are seeing (just to keep the conversation, mind you. They have no underlined reason for asking.) You release that normal but awkward laugh and try to explain that you are still as lonely and pathetic as you were when you last saw them. Silence. You wait...still with the awkward laugh and then person says, "Oh, really? Wow. Have you dated anyone?"
You respond, "Nope. As you might have guessed my life is still as pitiful as the day I met you but thanks for bringing that up. I mean, really, I needed to be reminded today about how terrible I am at love and such." THEN, as if they didn't get the hint, they ask, "Why?" Who in their right mind asks why? Seriously. WHY ASK WHY. You know why. Don't ask. Don't. It's really not necessary. Anyway, stunned by the fact that this ignoramus has the audacity to ask, "Why?" you find yourself lacking in reasons and decide that this would be the appropriate moment to start glaring at the person in hopes that your evil gaze will cause their HEAD TO EXPLODE.
