Relationships pt. 2

When people get to be my age, they start looking to settle down in life. What they should be doing is playing a capture the flag game with all the neighborhood kids that spans for hours at a time and involves the local police department demanding to see your identification and proof of teaching license.

But as it is, I have several friends that are married, about to be married or are married with babies. These people are no fun. I try to have fun and apparently that makes things weird. Is it weird because I am unattached myself? Do I need to find myself a significant other in order to make things fair? The rules of life are very complex and all I want to do is have a water gun fight in the backyard, is that too much to ask? 

I should probably better explain myself.

Nope, that would take to long and we would travel down so many side trails before finding the main train tracks so I will just start with an example. 

I'm at this water park with friend and her husband. There is a slide you can go down and the heavier the people the faster you go. Naturally I wanted to pair up with husband so I could go super fast. He said no because wife/my friend would get jealous. When I apply logic to the scenario this is the only thing that I can come up with that makes sense to me. 

= Death 

Another one that completely baffles me is this one. I have many geek friends that I only know through their online persona. So when I meet someone in real life that likes the same shows I do, my first thought is that we have to sit down and watch them together because it makes the experience that much more fun and we can share theories and observations. So when I find out this other male friend likes a couple of the same shows that I do, I propose we have a Netflix day. 

I have suffered from social anxiety most of my life, and so certain things baffle me and I find them very hard to understand. If I wanted to date, I would've done so by now and I pose no threat to anyone's relationship as far as I can tell. All I want is someone to geek out with me when I am re-watching all the superhero movies that lead up the avengers and beyond. But from what I can gather this is the sequence of events that would happen if I follow through with that plan.
