Ever since I started dating again, I have been constantly bombarded with these questions, “How are things with so and so? Are you guys okay?” Be it from the MOM, relatives or friends, they never fail to raise these questions at me. For an example,
Person A: So I have heard you have got a new boyfriend!
Me: Yeah...
Person A: How long already?
Me: Err...Four months plus...I think...
Person A: Oh! Good good...so how are things with you and him? Are you guys okay?
Me: Yeah...why?
Person A: Oh...just asking...
And then the topic changes...it happens almost EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why is that? Are they just curious or are they concern because they know what happened between me and the last ex? Okay, if you’re not convinced...here’s another example...
Friend L: Hey! How’s things? Job hunting going alright?
Me: Still jobless and living off my parents and soon sucking them dry...hahahah
Friend L: Aww, don’t worry! I’m sure you’ll get a job soon!!
Me: Thanks! Then I'm able to pay the debts back that I owe...to my parents...
Friend L: Hahaha, hey...how’s things with you and your boyfriend? You guys doing alright?
Me: Yeah...why?
Friend L: Nothing, just curious you know...
Then the topic changes again...It’s driving me crazy! Can someone please explain to me what these means? Do I sound depressed when I’m talking with them that makes them assume that there’s something wrong? Are they expecting something?
Do let me know. I’m trying to understand why are they always asking me these questions...or do you get these questions also? Or it’s just ME?
