Most people eventually put two and two together, when they ask if I'm married, living with someone, or dating, and I answer NO, NO, NO. They find it strange that someone can be celibate for more than a few months or a year in the 21st century, so they will ask "what's wrong"??? As if there must be a reason other than the fact you're trying to follow the example of Christ, and believe sex is reserved for marriage.
People react even more shocked when they learn you don't drink, smoke, get high, curse, ect. There is a "look" that comes over their face, that I can't quite explain in words. Someone told me today, that it was such "a waste of life".
So have you all noticed the same thing? Even if you're not Christian, but live a similar lifestyle for moral reasons. If so, do you continue to respond the same way, or try to avoid the questions? I am not ashamed to be a child of God, or ashamed to live as christlike as possible, so I personally feel a responsiblity to answer honestly.
