Love for the Post-Modern Girl
Re-thinking Romance A couple years ago I made a wager with a friend of mine that he would be engaged by 2014. A few months ago he told me (although it’s not official) that he is quite likely going to owe me some money. After I gloated about my victory and promised to use my winnings on the dress I’d wear to the wedding, he inquired about when I was going to “settle down.” This, of course, is the perennial refrain from my friends and loved ones even if it isn’t always overtly expressed.Niama S.
