Trepidation indeed…
I guess I should be flattered since I started the whole getting married trend that MHG, as I will refer to him from now on, mentioned in the post preceeding this one.
Although I am not sure I entirely agree with his idea of winning a race. It would seem to me that you have not really even joined the race yet; oh sure you have been training and even run a prelim or two but as for the Big Dance TM you are still a no-show.
I think it takes more courage and perseverance to dedicate your life to loving someone more than yourself and “Accepting the Martyrs Crown” on their behalf than to be the last single in your particular group of friends. But then again you will remember you don’t buy into all this fate crap… you’re in charge of your… oh wait, not right.

Nice, obscure line from the Matrix.
I agree, it does take more ‘courage and preserverance’ to love someone else, more than you love yourself.
I also believe that it’s of the utmost importance to fully explore one’s own capabilites and limits before settling down … and so like that stallion, I’m still running … still trying to push myself and see how far I can go on my own.

Yeah my original idea was to end with “But who am I to know… I am only Prime, the original coming back to take up residence in my Fortress of Solitude in the Sun.”
But I decided it would be too obscure even for the more hardened Comic Nerds out there to get and opted for the Matrix quote instead.

Hmmm, interesting. You know, I like your comments Dmitri. Whenever I hit “tab” it takes me to the next field instead of skipping the whole completely like Bishop’s and Basil’s.
As for the marriage thing? I don’t know. Yes MHG, what you say sounds like a plan. MHG! It sounds like a chemical name or something.
Our food contains no MHG! ;-)

Perhaps some capabilities and limits are best explored within the safety and comfort of a committed relationship. Sometimes the outside perspective of another viewing your life can help you see your strengths and encourage you to improve on your weaknesses. It is wonderful to have a companion on the journey of self-discovery.
Besides, we women are so soft and cuddley- why resist simply to “win”? Where’s the good in that? Men who stay single TOO long end up slightly…well, I should stop….

Set in our ways? Indeed. : )
Though I’ve been told by all couples (married longer than 5 years) that I should wait until I’m at least 26 before I get married.
Others have suggested 30 … but even I think that’s too long to wait.
