Kiss and tell me everything
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So, it’s official: I have mono.
Mononucleosis. Otherwise known as “the kissing disease.” Ironic, since all it means is that I WON’T be doing much kissing for a while…
But it does seem to give everyone — and I mean everyone! — license to ask “so, who have you been kissing?” As if it is any of their business. (And, for the record, the answer is, no one disease-ridden, that I know of.)
So what gives? What makes people think it’s their business to pry into your love lives? And I think at this time of year, it’s even more of a common problem. How many of you went home for Thanksgiving and had well-meaning relatives inquiring about your intentions to remain single, the status with your significant other, etc?
How do you defuse questions about your romantic entanglements? Are there people whom you do allow to ask probing questions about your dating status? What do you disclose, and what do you keep under wraps?
How can you satisfy a nosy friend or relative without being rude?
