AIBU to be willing to lose a friend over this?

[PerksBirthday]

I am very happily single. I rarely talk about it IRL but a friend who fancies herself as a bit of a matchmaker
has decided to try to set me up.

I have no interest whatsoever in meeting someone yet she can't seem to accept it. The first time she tried to set me up with an Australian guy and then someone who I know dislikes animals when I'm a huge animal lover and would never consider dating anyone who didn't love and want pets.

I've told her firmly that I'm not interested in anyone, no matter how suited she thinks we are and I'm sure that the guys can do much better. I don't know why she thinks they're interested either. I've told her repeatedly but I think I'm going to have to be incredibly blunt and lose the friendship if she doesn't stop making constant remarks about it, trying to get me to make dating profiles and trying to introduce me to men.

Yes I would lose a friendship because she’s refusing to accept your boundaries and doesn’t really see you, she’s just projecting her own views into you and will do this in other areas too.

I have a friend just like this! I allowed her to set me up on a blind date with a guy who she said was 'perfect' for me. I don't want to date, told her as much, but she was so adamant and excited that I didn't want to upset her.

Met the guy, nice enough but no sparks imo. Kept in touch as mates and did the odd thing together. Both in our 50s.

She didn't do it again as she then had to deal with the fallout of both him and his MOTHER (!) phoning her, begging her to talk me into a relationship with him!

I'm still friends with her but she knows not to try that again!

You have firmly stated your boundaries and she is over stepping them, you need to be super blunt.

Its not her business to force you to go out with someone
i have a single friend she doesnt want a partner i dont even mention men its not my life

This.

One last chance, then cut her loose.

She sounds like a massive PITA.

I couldn’t put up with that. Have you been very blunt with her?

She’s not got your best interests at heart if she’s trampling over your boundaries.

Id probably have à conversation where I reiterated to her that unless she stops trying to impose her idea of what I should be doing with my life , I would have to walk away from the friendship. It doesn’t sound balanced at all.

Some people just cannot accept that someone can be single by choice.

She sounds quite dull so I'd be tempted to let her go tbh.

Or tell her that you've met someone, but you have to keep his identity secret because he's famous/in witness protection/on the run/a spy.
