I've been single - getting pressure to find a boyfriend!

I've been single for a long time,my daughter is 23 and haven't been in a relationship since me and her dad split up. I've never been bothered about being single,but everyone is saying I need to get a boyfriend! Including my daughter. I love being single and I have such a busy life I would find it hard to fit someone in my life right now.
I was out for a friends birthday at the weekend and mutual friends started saying I need a boyfriend. I don't understand why I 'need' a boyfriend,although I have noticed that I'm left out of group activities because I'm single,which doesn't bother me. If I wanted to do it,I would do it or find someone to do it with me.
I feel like I need to do something about it now but really don't want to. I don't want to do on line dating or apps,but would prefer to meet someone who is a friend of a friend. But if I wanted to,I would have done it by now.
Does anyone else feel any pressure? Any advice?

Same here. I am also very happy being single.
Do what I want, when I want, if I want, as often as I want, or not at all! Answerable to no one. I also believe that I would be very difficult to live with after all the years on my own.
Continue as you are, and don't let anyone influence/pressure you.
Wouldn't touch any of the online dating sites with the proverbial barge pole!
