Haha, A while back I was at a bar chatting with a woman. After a while of chatting, the guy she was with starts chatting and called the woman his fiancé. She didn't hear the guy say fiancé. I noticed no ring, so I mentioned that the guy said "fiancé."
She was NOT pleased he said that.

Hahhaha, men

Second, unfortunately, society deems you need to be a couple to be successful...that is so untrue, and it is slowly changing...
and yes, I have experienced this, but, I always say, "I don't have to be a couple to be successful, you can be with someone and feel the epitomy of lonliness, and I don't want to live my life according to what someone else's idea is of a relationship/marriage.
That wasn't the OP's point. The OP was asking, why would her co-worker assume she's single, just because she sees her alone once or twice/week? "Always so alone", is what the co-worker said. That makes no sense at all. What "always"? Of course she's going to be alone at work--who goes to work with their SO? Maybe she grocery shops alone; not unusual--most women do the shopping for the couple or family. I never assume anyone's single. I look for a ring, if I want to know. And not all married persons wear rings, so you never know for sure.

Lol, I would of laughed.

My best guy friend said he would marry me if we aren't married by 40. This was in our 20's

At the time I said,"G thanks"

But he found an older women who is his love of his life.

Is it possible your coworker just meant "How come you never eat lunch/chill out in the breakroom/gossip with anyone?" It might not be about your relationship status at all.

So she could have said, "we'd love to see you in the breakroom for lunch/break" or "you should join us in the breakroom sometime", instead of talking about something else entirely. How hard is that?

I have a shirt that says 'STARFLEET ACADEMY ALUMNI' and my friends joke around that it's my 'I'm single' shirt.

Other than that, I've been told I come across as definitely not single because I'm fairly comfortable wherever I am even if I'm alone. I guess single women act uppity? I'm honestly not sure.

That woman was rude to you and you should say something to her about it.
