...I'm single happy person, with my daily activities and my friends and family.
I would be happier if other people wouldn't remind me all the time and say " you are still single? what are you waiting for..? "
Well maybe I'm waiting someone special..I' m waiting someone that is appropriate for me ( not for the others)...what is wrong with that?
Am I the only one feeling this way or not? What is your experience about this?

I'm sorry that's happening to you. People tend to look on you with pity if your single, childless, or non-religious. This is because, to many people, their marriage, family, and faith define who they are, and they simply cannot imagine anyone being happy or fulfilled without it. But when you think about it, we all have things that fulfill us...like, I have a friend who loves pottery...I don't get it, but I know she doesn't lie awake at night worrying about how empty my life is without pottery. Society tells us marriage, family, and faith make us who we are...on the subject of being single, show them all how fulfilled you are on your own right now.

If you're okay without a BF that's cool. Many need to have the companionship. Maybe they sense that you're not 100% happy and would be with the addition of a BF. Just a guess. Only you know whats best for you. Time to tell others to back off it would seem. As far as waiting for the right one. I can respect that 100%. Thats the toughest challenge of all. Best wishes.

It is not such a bad thing to be single. If you are single then you can worry about your priorities. You won't get your heart broken if there wasn't anyone there to break it. You don't always have to worry about him flirting with other girls or the way he treats you around HIS friends. If you thought about dating an older guy then you would have to worry about pressure! Don't date and just stay single so you have him touchin on you. You can flirt with whoever you want whenever you want. Don't get serious now. Just live your life and have fun doing it. Wait for someone who you really really like that will make you happy. Don't just date someone just because your friends tell you to! It is your life not theres. You will not have to worry about him cheating on you and never calling. My friend/cousin has a boyfriend who never calls her and treats her like she isn't there when he is with his friends! Good Luck!!

i know what you are going through... People just seem to not get the idea that women can be single... they think that you lack something if you do not have anybody in your life... if only they know that we like our freedoms but also that we want partners thats available and honest... so we will not settle for second best or grab anyone..
Don't worry too much about what others think of your singleness... I think we should embrace that part of our identity.
ITS REALLY NOT THAT BAD!!!!

I'm single too. I need my space and thoroughly enjoy the freedom to do what i want. Don't worry what others say and think - engineer your life to suit your needs. If the right person comes along you'll know when it's time for a change.........

It is funny that you said it was your family and friends that'd say that to you (and i am sure that this is true) but i find that my single best friend is the one alwayssss bitching about being single for 3 years to come now. She comments about it alllll the time, and i luv her to death but i am sick of listening to her mope and feel sorry for herself because of this. She is a beautiful girl, and she gets asked out a lot but she is picky as **** and ends up not going to second dates (but lots of first dates). I am out of things to say to her now, but she stayyyyy mentioning it all the time.

Tell them you are waiting for the right guy to come along. If they persist, be a little more blunt and tell them you don't tell them how to run their life and would appreciate the same courtesy.

I'm single and love the solitude and the freedom to do what I want, when I want. Stay cool.

I don't think it is weird. Maybe you are self sufficient -- you don't feel that you "need" to settle for just anyone?
The answer to that question, if you think any answer is actually required, would be "Mr. (or Ms.) Right!"
