attended a social event last evening, once again my "friends" attempted to set me up with another woman. Its been going on for about 2 yrs now, when will they understand that I'm not looking at this time and just let me enjoy their company. And yes, I am NOT gay..lol.

I'm sorry your friends are trying to 'fix you up' when you are not even 'looking' at this point. My husband was 'not a typical' man, and many people told me that they 'knew he was gay' when I started going with him ... I was his 'first ever girlfriend' when he was 39, and I was 46. We've been married for ten plus years now, and are TOTALLY IN LOVE with each other. I'm GLAD that you are 'waiting' and are happy to 'just be as you are' ... and I am really sorry your friends can't recognize that you are 'just fine' and enjoy your company ... but what that tells me is that you are making them 'uncomfortable' because you are 'mature enough to know where you are going and what you want and when' and they are 'immature and think you must have a girl to be happy' even if she's not your 'one and only.' YOU GO, my dear. YOU ARE THE BEST KIND OF GUY ... and someday, when the time is right, you'll 'find your one and only lady' ... and they'll be really 'jealous' then, because you will be 'truly and totally happy' ...

Oh boy, I feel for you. I had a slew of well meaning friends try to set me up after my divorce. I too was just not in the market for awhile.
Gently explain that when the right one comes along, you'll know but them trying to push is a turn off and not fair to the prospective girl.
They probably won't stop but they may back off or be a bit more selective.
By the way...I did meet my current husband through those same friends and none of them ever pictured us together(7 yrs. now) just goes to show, no one can pick 'em but you!

Why not just enjoy the company of the various nice women? No one is going to twist your arm to marry them. Lighten up dude...

I think their determination to find someone for you, comes from their care for you. They assume you're not truly happy unless you're in a committed relationship. So don't be too angry with them. Maybe they're already jealous of your freedom...."misery loves company"...lol
