The options are Mr. Mrs. Miss and Ms. I rather despise the horrid Ms. magazine but I do like the option of avoiding a lengthy discussion about why am I still a Miss at my advanced age, what did I do wrong, didn't I like so-and-so and what about so-and-so and blah blah blah. Singleness is not an option for some people such as myself. It's just personal, not something to discuss with every Tom Dick and Harry out there who happened to notice something that is really none of his business.
