My last question was somewhat more specific. This is more a general question for ladies and gents who've experienced their 20s or 30s. I feel a certain guilt or social pressure being single having done the dating/relationship thing before and now opting out. I'm just not comfortable saying "I'm not especially interested in dating."
Anyone else experience something similar?
Can you put your finger on the cause?
I know it is ok, sometimes better to be single, but I'm sure someone will remind me of that fact :-).

Being single is great.
Unfortunately, my Mom has been pressuring me to get married eversince I became a lawyer (April 2005). She's afraid that I might turn into an old maid. But then, she doesn't really know what I have been up to lately.
My advice to you is: Enjoy it (your single blessedness) while it lasts. I'm sure you'll meet someone soon who will make you bite the bullet. Then its over. So count your blessings and be grateful.

You know what? You get to opt out if you want to. It's not an emergency. Get comfortable with saying, "I'm not interested in dating. I'll let you know if I change my mind." Try to care less about what people think.
If you ask married people about marriage, they always say, "It takes a lot of work." Tell people that and then say, "I don't want a second job right now." They'll laugh and get off your back.
