To find this deeply unusual and sad?

[ToTheMax0]

Met a 39 Yr old lady the other day at a small gathering at my neighbours.
I asked if she was married with kids and she looked embarrassed and said no to neither. Later on in the evening, she admitted she had never kissed a man or dated, nothing like that. Not assexual, just nothing has ever led her to a relationship and she's scared to date online but also, not entirely interested. She went to mixed schools but was teased for being ugly and then onto an almost all female college and university. Was never into the pub and club scene as a young woman either. Just find it sad for her.

Please do not ask people you don’t know if they are married, or have kids.

I am a young widow and nothing stops the conversation and causes indenting awkwardness when I am asked “Are you married?” And I have to say “I’m a widow’.

The quote in bold is not what I have said. I am quoting a PP.

I know. I’m sorry, I don’t think I formatted that too well. I was agreeing with your comment on what the PP said & expanding on it.

But to some people some or none of these things mean anything.
Just because it’s mean something to you, it’s not everyone.

Not unusual and definitely not sad . Strange topic of conversation …. When I talk to someone I like to hear about THEM not their attachments to other people. I think relationship status is the least interesting thing about a person . There are plenty of people who actively enjoy being single and it’s very strange to think of that as ‘sad’ or ‘lonely’ .
