To think people should accept I am single!

[applepieplease]

Have some 'friends' who are constantly trying to pair me up with people. Even worse one signed me up for a dating website.. Without me knowing ??.

I have had a lot of bad experiences in the past and know that when and if someone comes along I will be happy to follow that path....

It's like I am a big inconvenience because I am single.

I know exactly how you feel. I love being single but some people treat me like a second class citizen! Just because they don't feel 'complete' without a partner doesn't mean everyone feels the same.

I have a friend who is single (through choice) and would never consider setting them up, let alone signing them up to a dating website

I hate people thinking they have more right to decide what should be happening in your life than you do.

Being single is a perfectly valid choice and one that you alone have the right to make. I would be furious if I was you.

This obsession that some people have that everyone wants to be in or should be in a relationship is bizarre and not always healthy.

YANBU. Tell them in no uncertain terms that you're capable of making your own arrangements as and when you feel like it. Also how would they feel if you kept signing them up for things they weren't interested in?

But it's nice that your friends care about you. But to sign you up to a dating website. You could always tell them you have met somebody but he lives in a far off town. That should keep them quiet for a bit.

I was single for a long long time during college & university before I met my dh. He was my first bf & now father to my dc. I didnt feel the need to share my life with anyone before I met him & people always tried to pair me off with idiots who couldnt walk straight. I then delayed kids for 6 years while I sorted my career out & people thought I was odd.

You can please everybody so do not bother.

Someone who signs you up for a dating website is not your friend.
