"keep me away from weddings"

This just happens to be a quote from NDG and tall boy. Both of them are so anti-marriage. I can understand where NDG is coming from with this divorce being so new but tall boy has never been married. Plus with tall boy he has anger issues so I'm staying way from that.


I need to give a lil back story. I'm a notary and meet this couple who want to get married. So tomorrow morning on the beach I will be officiating their ceremony and signing their license. I've been single for 3 yrs now and earlier this year was engaged to a nice young man(8 yrs younger then me). Ok so not so nice. Anyway in April we split up and I started dating again. Lately it seems that every man I meet does not want to get married. I'm not asking them to marry me tomorrow but at least someone who wants to marry me in the future. At least someone who likes the possiblity of marriage even if its not with me. Which is probably why I'm thinking of my exf lately.


I'm not really sure what to do with NDG because he's friends with my friends and I think it would be awkeward. But I'm usually good about keeping friends with guys I've dated. NDG and I are just a causual thing no sex. I think that he'd understand where I'm coming from too.


I don't really know what I'm looking for in this post...maybe just some reassurance that what I'm thinking is ok. Also I realized today that the old bf that I dated for a yr is not what I want. We will just have to stay friends, we've been talking online but he really doens't make much of an effort.
