One of my best friends is a girl and we've known each other for a long time. Our relationship is purely platonic. However, my parents have started joking that we should start dating. It's annoying.

Parents just do that, because they know it makes you annoyed! My Dad teases me when i mention a girl. Just ignore him or laugh along with them like it doesn't bother you.

Be honest. Don't get angry be calm......Just say that you and X have been friends for years, and you value that friendship but that is all it will ever be, and then ask why they feel it necessary to embarass you by joking about the two of you dating. When people (even parents) are asked to justify why they are engaging in a certain behavior it often calls to their attention that it is thoughtless.

Parents just act that way. Not much you can do except tell them you don't appreciate them teasing you. If you do that though they might tease you for being so sensitive.

I know how you feel. My parents tried to set my up with one of my guy friends! XD Try joking along with them, or 'accidently' letting them overhear about a new crush or girlfriend.

I think they're trying to say that they like the girl and think you two are a good match. In their own way they're giving you their blessing if you want to ask her out. If it's something you aren't interested in just explain to them how it really is and ask them nicely to stop.

Just break to them... or tease them back!
