Childish questions

Why is it impossible to mention a woman’s name without people assuming, well, everything? And why can no amount of reasoning sway people from those assumptions, however facile?

You see, I’d thought, being in my mid-twenties, that questions along the lines of, “are you going out, have you shagged her yet” were at least a decade gone. It would appear not. I find this a little sad.

I find it equally depressing that my refusal to be drawn on such matters invites such ridiculous conjecture. Perhaps I should just pull the hair of the girl I like, push her over in the playground and do away with all the speculation.

Ye gods.

    I think I’m probably more of a dullard to be honest.
