YES! Which is why it doesn't bother me. They enjoy having me around. Every blue moon, they try to set me up with someone single they know, but thats only when they are extra bored.

Don't think about it. There are times when it'll bother you more than others, just avoid friends during those periods and go back when things are more hunky-dory again.

Ask them to introduce one of her single female friends and make it a double date. Even if you don't like the girl you will have a good time.
Hmm no, I would probably get a really ugly one LOL. That sounds desperate. Besides, like I've said before, my friends are not allowed to interfere with my personal life.

That's my business, not theirs. Too many people taking part in a private issue.

If you can't be comfortable with your friends no matter what the setting or who is there they really aren't your friends. They are merely acquaintances you see from time to time.

Well, they are not forcing you, just making an offer or presenting an opportunity to you. You're not obligated to take it, but I don't see it is them getting in your private business.

If I can't share my "private" business with good friends, who do I talk to?

Doesn't sound like much of a friendship, honestly.
