When it comes to being single, it seems everyone else will take it
upon themselves to help you rationalize the singlehood and offer up every piece
of advice imaginable. While it most likely comes from a good place, certain
questions and comments definitely can be annoying. Here’s a short list of my
very favorites.

1. You must be picky
After dating for so long and meeting
countless people, you (hopefully) start to hone in on what works and doesn’t
work, and what you’re looking for. What’s wrong with having certain standards
and only a few deal breakers? Nothing. So filter on, my single friends.
2. It’ll happen when you stop
looking
When you’re single, it’s inevitable that
situations involving new people will trigger a “maybe they’ll be interesting
potentials” thought. If you need a new job, chances are you’ll actively search
and perhaps even fret if your efforts are fruitless, right? I strongly believe
the same applies to dating. You can’t decide to hole yourself up at home, make
no effort and expect results.
3. Just try one more date
You’ve been on a first or even second date.
Conversation and attraction didn’t really leave you wanting more and you’re not
feeling that elusive “it”. If you’re dreading going on another date with this
person, hearing “just try” is frustrating. I treat my time preciously (except
when it comes to cute cat and dog videos online). If I can’t conceive spending
another few hours with a person, I doubt they’re a match for me. Respect that
and simply wish me luck with the next guy.
4. I’d introduce you, but I
don’t *think* he’s your type
Friends tend to know us the best and get to
know what we look for in a partner. However, sometimes we found ourselves
pleasantly surprised when there’s a connection with someone we didn’t expect.
For that reason, if most of the elements could point to a match, show a
picture, give a brief description and arrange a group meeting. Who knows, there
may or may not be something there, but at least let the singles decide if they
want to meet or not.
Good luck out there.
