One of the strangest things about living back in South Africa is the attitude towards relationships.
In London being single is not a crime. Being single in your 30's is accepted and very often the norm with the busy and stressful lives that people lead.
Cape Town is quite the opposite.
Thankfully I am not bothered by it but sometimes it appears that other people are bothered on my behalf.
Whilst going to Bistro Sixteen82 at Steenberg Golf Estate today:
Female Security Guard: Where are you visiting and please can I have your surname?
Miss M: Bistro Sixteen82 and M
FSG: Thank you Mrs. M, do you know where you are going?
Miss M: It's Miss M and no I don't
FSG: Leans forward slightly and smiles at me Aw don't worry, I'm a Miss too
It was round about this point that I wanted to get out of the car and bitch slap her through the face
Instead I just smiled sweetly and went on my merry way.
But what I really wanted to say
Miss M: Really lady? REALLY? Are you so pathetic and insecure that you really feel that you need to define yourself based on whether or not you are in a relationship? Get. A. Grip.
Who knows.
But all I know is that I am very happy being Miss M and don't want to change it, for the time being.
