3 legged dog!

"Hi I am Chetan and I am single" there should be a help group for all the single guys & girls out there, especially those whose friends are married.
Married (recently married) couple starts behaving like a 2 headed one single decission making organism (scary!) and thus making all the single people feel rejected and less worthy of any social or behavioural construct.
Recently I have stumbled upon few (many) married couple and I must say they all look the same to me, they all behave in the same way and they all have more or less exact same conversations, the favorite being "u still single" conversation.
I mean, I don't have any issues with the question but the question followed by a 30 deg head tilt and a sympathy look is something that have started to make me sick in my stomach, they (organism) give you the exact same look that one bestows upon a homeless/ugly looking underprivileged child or a three legged dog trying to climb a staircase.
These couples (organism) have a nack of turning any conversation/compliment into a relationship advisory session. I warm you of any of the following situations:
A public gathering
Your own birthday
Your friends birthday
Any major public holiday
Pubs/restaurant
Walking alone on a street
To sum it all up you cannot risk to meet or be seen in any public place or at any social/cultural gatherings unless u are prepared to bear the wroth of a syncronised 30 deg head angle and an "awwww."
Just the other day I was walking down the street (needless to say alone :p) and one of the couple friends ( if we are still calling them that) spotted me, I swear by god they gave me a syncronised 30 deg hand angle with a sympathy filled eyes. I almost thought they saw a 3 legged puppy but then realized I am the 3 legged puppy trying to walk by myself.
On any public holiday these organism makes plans to go out with you and then at the every last moment they come up with an excuse that no single person can argue or question the authenticity : "the mother-in-law excuse" I mean no single person knows what is it exactly to have a mother-in-law to start with and how does one respond to them (mother-in-law) is beyond the thinking ability of any single person. We generally have to keep a safe distance from asking the organism to make any rash decission thus going out and drinking our lever out is the only feasible option we have.
What is beyond me is the decission making process adapted by this organism. Their decission to any activity is subjected to a lot of parameters and even a slight change to any of the parameter might change the activity itself not only that there is a domino effect on all other plans as well. For example: you are have a perfectly normal evening doing nothing, discussing random stuff and doing absolutely nothing apart from talking and laughing. For some strange reason one head of the organism has a headache, that's it, there goes the entire evening, the conversation, the nothingness. Not only is the evening shattered but the other head of the organism makes sure the earlier head rests for the next few days and cancelling all the upcoming plans to meet until further notice. Forcing all the single people to hit the bar and drink our lever out.
If you are "still" single (30deg head tilt-pun intended) you know what I am talking about. If you are Married and are still reading this, you better behave when u next see a three legged dog walking down the street.

Over and out
Peace
