Think back to when you were single... not necessarily unhappily... and think back to when your friends were constantly trying to find you a man/woman. Think about how after awhile, when like, 3-4 friends start doing this, it starts getting old.
Yup... this is my predicament. I'm single. Yes, this is 2 years now that I've been single (not that I haven't dated... just that I haven't been "in a relationship" in 2 years)... and I'm not UNHAPPY about that! Sure, I stop and think, "If I found someone I could be this happy with... or happier... I'd welcome it." But I'm not going to just go out of my way to force a relationship right now. For one, I don't feel I'm in a financial or a mental capacity to do such. I'm trying to get everything in my life in the order I want it in before I commit to being that deeply involved with someone again. It would be nice to not have to introduce myself as a substitute teacher, also...! :)
But, back on track, I have a handful of friends that are constantly trying to recommend guys to set me up with. And, moreover, they're people I honestly think are out of my "league" for lack of a better term. It started with one of my very good friends... and when she'd make suggestions I'd laugh it off... telling her she was nuts. Then she did actually start creating interactions between me and friends of her hubby... that's fine... I can deal with that... I don't mind making more friends, that's for sure. But then more friends began suggesting people.... 3 more, exactly... and quite honestly, I'm tired of all my married friends outwardly showing me that there's apparently something wrong with me because I'm not in a relationship. I'm happy where I'm at now... and my faith has grown mountains (which I see absolutely nothing wrong with!).
Here's the deal... I don't know how to tell them to stop... at least not in a nice way. However, I fear that if I let this go on much longer, I'm going to explode on one or more of them and yell at them in regards to this issue. So, suggestions? How do I nicely say... "I'm happily single right now... no more suggestions are needed" when I've tried that way and it hasn't gotten through...?????
