Dating and Engagement (but not Marriage)
Current mood: tired
Category: Romance and Relationships

Ok, so today I discovered that yet another friend is engaged. August 15th.
I guess this whole mindset started when I explained to a dear friend that I, like every other girl, am working my way towards marriage. I was taken aback when he asked who the lucky guy was. Great question, Fish. Haha. The question really made me think about a lot of things.
First thing, it freaks me out that everyone is getting engaged. It's a concept I can't really comprehend. Don't get me wrong, I've helped with my sister's wedding, and my best friend's date is rapidly approaching. I still can't imagine being engaged or even in a relationship. I didn't really start dating till about six months ago, and...to think people younger than me, a girl I went to high school with, was engaged at that time, and married now.
It's enough to make anyone wonder what's really going on, and if this is normal.
