My "Situation"
So I'm in this class to finish up my second Bachelor degree (in Anthropology). There's this guy in the class. His every comment tends to be about some aspect of the gospel, his version of the gospel. And it's embarrassing. Sometimes, many times, it doesn't really relate to the subject we're discussing. He likes to talk to me after class. He says he likes that I speak up. It's a small class and I never gave shutting up a second thought, as long as I have something somewhat intelligent to add, or some pertinent question to ask. But I'm pretty sure other students add just as much. The thing is he's married, and I wasn't sure why he kept singling me out.
So yesterday he seems really excited at the beginning of class. He tells me he has really good news for me. Mmmm, okay. I tell him let's talk after (class was about to begin). So after class he starts saying he ran into this guy at the gym last night who is a friend of a friend and guess what?...It turns out he's single. Mmm, okay. So he tells me he explained to this guy my "situation" and that this guy has agreed to go out with me on a blind date. Ummm...I tell him I am confused by "situation", and that I'm perfectly capable of finding my own guy, and that it's not really big news to run into another single Mormon guy in Provo, Utah. Thanks but no thanks, this sounds weird. Well, the married guy is pretty determined and tells me he'll be the go between if I just tell him my schedule. So I say here's the number to my office, have this guy give me a call and I'll decide if I go out with him. p.s. Single and Woman is not a situation.
Only in Utah County...

By the way, you handled that nicely...I might not have been so, how would you say, dimplomatic about it.
