not my engagement

All my friends in DC are either engaged or married (two engagements in the past two months). Since they were either seriously dating or married before, and I'm good friends with the fiances already, this hasn't really changed much except in terminology. Of course, terminology is what we all obsess about, and I had to pick at it to figure out what is fazed me. It comes down to this, while I don't really care if I have a boyfriend/fiance/husband/etc or not (as in, it'd be great and wonderful but I'm not going out of my way to find this mystery man), I do feel like I'm being left out. Not excluded (I don't feel like a third, fifth or any other odd number multiple, wheel). It's much more like everyone else I know is part of sorority-fraternity. I don't want to join myself, but... well, I fell left out. (I got an online boyfriend in high school because a friend had one, then he talked seriously and I dumped him.)

I'm content as I am, I actually prefer being single. I know that's very unusual but I don't care. I might just stay this way for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I've discovered that I have grandmothers and aunts that didn't marry until well into their 30s, and that was even back in the early-mid 1900s. To counter it, I have some very nice spinster great aunts and, having asked one if she ever regretted it, I have no worries about being perfectly happy living into my old, old age without a husband or children.
