Being single is sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Much like being one half of a couple, in fact. The only thing about being single is that it makes you fair game for interrogation about your love life when it comes to being out with your loved-up friends. Opinions. Questions. Advice. Oh yes. They’re all more than happy to dish it out, regardless of what you’re feeling! Yeah so they care, but it’s annoying sometimes, right?
Here are the top 10 most annoying lines singles have to endure…
“It’ll happen when you least expect it.”
Really? Because if you’re actively dating then meeting someone you like is hardly going to be a massive shock.
“Are you still single? Why’s that?”
Erm, that’s because I haven’t met someone I like enough to date. Turn it back on them and ask them why they’re in a relationship and when they say it’s because they are in love, you say “well I haven’t met anyone whose worthy of my love in a while”. End of discussion.
“Have you tried online dating?”
Online dating? What is this new concept? Of course we’re online dating!
“Sometimes I feel so happy I never have to date again.”
Really? I am sooo happy for you.
“It’s better to be on your own than with the wrong person.”
Yes, true, but even better is to be in a relationship with the right person.
“Why don’t you join a group?”
Because I already have enough hobbies and friends, thank you!
“You need to put yourself out there more!”
Out there? Out where? In the middle of the street eyeing up every member of the opposite sex in the hope they might be single/good-looking/interesting etc. No thanks.
“Maybe you need to stop being so picky.”
Who wants to lower their standards just so they can start dating the nearest guy or girl just you’re in relationship. Not us, ta!
“I just want you to be happy like me.”
Erm, who said I wasn’t happy?
“Let me set you up with someone. I know this great guy/girl…”
What like the one you sat me next to at your last dinner party who had a bad case of halitosis and even worse conversation skills. I’ll pass, thanks all the same.
