I'm 32, and I still don't know how to tie a necktie.

I have a confession.  

I have been using the same knotted necktie since 1998.  That's right.  The day before I left for university, my dad helped me by putting a tying a tie around my neck, and I have never untied it.  That's 13 years, folks (and counting).  

In 2006, I got a new tie for a wedding, but before leaving the store, I had the salesman help me out.  He tied the tie for me, and when he went to take it off (after I agreed to purchase it), I told him that it was okay - I'll take it off myself.  I took it off, ever so gently so as not to untie the knot, and placed it in the bag.  

I only own two ties, and they have never been out of their knots because I still don't know how to tie a tie.  It's not that I can't... it's more like I just don't feel like learning how to do it on YouTube.  And I'm too embarrassed to ask for help (so what better way to hide a secret then to post it on a blog?).  I'm not sure if I'll ever take the time to learn - I've made it this far in life without this critical skill.  But I know one thing for sure - those two ties better not ever come undone...
