24 Things Single People Are Tired Of Hearing

Yo sup!

As some of you may know, I was at a YSA conference this last weekend in Vancouver, so you can imagine my one and only FAQ; “Did you meet any cute boys?” which I don’t mind. I have fun talking about that stuff with people I'm close to.

But I don’t know what it is about being a YSA that makes your personal life so interesting to others. People always ask me if I’m dating anyone, if I’ve been going on dates, how many boys I’ve kissed, what I look for in a guy, who I have a crush on, etc. and I have no idea why!

Anywhoozle, the following is from a post on Buzzfeed (love that website!) and it’s a list of things single people are tired of hearing. Some guy commented on the post with some ridiculously funny answers so I added them to the side and I changed the ones I didn't find funny enough.

1. "How are you still single? You're so great!"

Would you stop bringing up my relationship status if I wasn't great? Cuz that could easily be arranged.








2. "It'll happen when you least expect it."

Thanks. I'll make sure I won't expect it then, as I've obviously been expecting it too much.







3. "Don't you ever get lonely?"

Terribly. Can't you tell by the miserable look on my face?








4. "Aren't you worried you won't be able to have kids?"

Not as much as you.







5. "Are you seeing anyone?"

If that is what'll get you to stop talking, then yes. And no, you can't meet him.








6. "You should try online dating. My friend met their husband/wife that way!"

Thank you. That just gives me so much more hope!









7. "They don't deserve you."

Thank you for the reminder. I will keep that in mind so that you can make fun of my ego and blame that on me not finding anyone.








8. "You are such a catch."

Thank you for your valued input. I will file your survey in the garbage with all the others.








9. "Don't worry. You'll find someone someday."

"Someday" means not today. Thank you for reminding me. I was definitely having a panic attack there.






10. "He's just not ready for a serious commitment yet."

Thanks. I'm glad I can always count on you to say that over and over.








11. "One day when you're married, you'll wish you were single."

That's just a sad statement for the both of us.








12. "There are plenty of fish in the sea."

I can tell.





13. "You're just too picky."

Oh, I have standards? How dare I. That will stop immediately then, since you insist.










14. "Just don't turn into some crazy cat lady."

I've always wanted to be a crazy cat lady though, so I can't promise anything.








15. "She probably just lost your number."

For sure. With all this technology, Facebook, iCloud and iPhones that make saving contacts easier nowadays I was wondering if maybe he just wasn't into me. But your words definitely make more sense.




16. At a wedding: "You better get out there, they're doing the bouquet toss."

Caught it in 3 different weddings. I think I'm good.







17. "You're just too busy right now."

You're right. I will make sure to sacrifice my work and study to go out with someone I'm not into.






18. "You have to love yourself before you can love someone else."

Thanks for that. I was really loathing myself there for a split-second.







19. In reference to your best friend: "Have you guys ever thought of dating?"

Ewwww, cooties!!!







20. "I can't wait to meet your future spouse, they are going to be amazing."

Thank you. I will let him know you said that.











21. "We'll all be laughing about this someday."

That's comforting, because single people never laugh.






22. "You should let me set you up, I know the perfect person for you."

What she said.








23. "Don't give up, it'll happen."

I was hoping for that.






24. "You don't need anyone." DANG RIGHT!

I thought it was hilarious cuz I’m only 21 and I've already heard each and every one of these more than once. They forgot to add the following though: "I'm excited for your wedding reception! You should make it big and beautiful just like your sister's!", "You need to marry someone like this.", “Aren’t you worried you’ll never have sex?”, “You’ll love being married!”, or after I do or say something silly they say “That’s why you’re still single”.

I wrote a bucket load more and went off about my thoughts on being a YSA and all that jazz, but I don't want this to be too long so I will continue on next week.

XOXO,

Miss Mottola!
