I like to pretend to be engaged.
Why would you pretend to be engaged?
I'm tired of people asking me when I'm going to finally get married and settle down.
It may seem like a good way to get people to stop asking about it but you shouldn't be lying like that. Tell people the truth about yourself or just tell them that you don't want to answer the question.
I was getting tired of their bragging so I wanted to change the subject.
I understand, but I think you're better off telling people to mind their business. It's easier than lying, ya know?
