This. I mean, I "get" it and agree in part, but ****, I still like these holidays and happily participate. We're not into going all out, but a nice dinner, exchanging cards and chocolates, why not?
The same can be said about all sorts of celebrations and holidays. *shrug*
Yes, this is how I feel as well. Why not? Finding love is always worth celebrating.

Has anyone said that to you before or have you heard it said?..... Honestly can't stop laughing at that one
Regarding equality and opening doors; I've never heard anyone say that to me in person (face to face), but believe it or not, I was told that once when a gent called me up to ask me out. I declined the invitation.
As for the first point (marriage being just a piece of paper) I guess you could also say the same about a driver's license being "just a piece of paper", or a diploma, or any other official legal document. They are all just pieces of paper, but for some people, they actually mean something.

He sounds a smooth operator..... In opening the doors of love of course! LOL
Wow!! He must have been joking or meant I has a joke surely?, I mean no man with a full set of marbles would say that whilst asking out a lady?

It's true and I only wish that he was joking. He was a complete stranger who was given my number by a mutual friend in an attempt to set us up. Epic fail.
I don't want to derail the thread, but this same guy, during this first introductory phone call, also wanted to know the reasons behind my divorce. I found the question inappropriate so I attempted to change the subject, but he insisted, actually he demanded to know why I had filed for divorce from my first husband (I guess before he "invested" in a date with me). By the way, his date idea was for me to help him run errands. How tempting!
Never heard from him again and this "friend" never played matchmaker for me again.

Now I'll answer the added bit.....
Oh I know that and completely understand and respect that marriage for most is a sacred bond/oath and I really would love to have that opinion myself
But at present I don't..... Maybe it's because I've not met one that I want to marry IDK and I won't rule out marriage as you never know, but in reality I don't think my view will change as such.

No you're fine it's very relevant to the thread
I don't blame you in the slightest and I'd be most annoyed at the " friend "
