Maybe it's just the people I'm surrounded by, but all anyone every talks about is boyfriends and girlfriends and relationships. I feel like I'm stuck in junior high, are there not more important things? I would love a boyfriend, but I believe in the whole "it happens when you least expect it" cliche, so I personally never rush anything, and I don't go "looking" for love. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
I remember a random man who was hitting on me asked me if I had a boyfriend, I told him no. He almost got upset with me for being single. WTF kind of sense does that make? Shouldn't a man who is interested in a woman be glad she's single? Do guys enjoy "stealing" people's girlfriends?
I just hate when people question my single-ness. Like, is that all that matters? How will a boyfriend make me anymore interesting?
I have one particular cousin who always asks about my relationship status and literally nothing else.
I also can't stand these pathetic whiny FB posts from other single people that are always posting forever alone memes. This one sap finally got a GF (I still don't know how since I found him juvenile, and don't think he has suitable boyfriend qualities, but different strokes) and he goes on and how he's "finally happy" like getting laid cured his "depression". I don't understand how anyone could date someone who reeks desperation. Desperate people are more likely to settle, IMO. If I dealt with a man who appeared to be desperate I'd always wonder if I was someone he settled for, or I was the best he could do.
Am I the only single person who's not pent up by being single? Don't get me wrong I live for male attention, but a relationship(even though I'd like one eventually) isn't really on my top list of priorities.
Different people have different priorities for their lifestyle and life choices. Those who have more priority on relationships will naturally put more importance on them.

Probably just his brand of 'game'. He thought he was being charming, and wound up looking like a creep.

No, there are plenty of other mature, responsible adults out there that have self-worth and confidence that don't feel the need to be in a relationship because they can take care of themselves.
IMHO, when a person is that hell-bent on being in a relationship, they have self-esteem issues and need someone else to prove that they are worthy.
If you don't love you, nobody else can love you either.

Hell, I have self esteem issues and that's one of the reasons I DON'T want to be in a relationship. I don't want someone putting up with my whiny, sometimes self loathing ways. I think I'd make an annoying and emotionally high maintenance girlfriend. Until i can repair that and deem myself emotionally and mentally fit for dating, I will date. That is as selfless as it gets.
LOL! I love this rant! Yes, OP, of course there's more to life than relationships. Think of all the drama you're missing out on, by not having serial relationships. And what do you mean by "people question [your] singleness"? They ask you why you're single? There definitely needs to be a list of snappy comebacks to that, it's a really dumb question. (Like: "Gosh, it seems that as soon as the guys find out I'm trans-gender, they drop me like a hot potato!" or, "I just haven't been able to find a guy who's into bestiality, yet. Can you set me up with someone?")
Find new friends, ones who have more going on in their lives than just their relationships. Go to travel seminars, volunteer for political or enviro activist orgs, go to book or museum lectures, take evening classes at the local college/university, whatever. Get yourself a new crowd. And avoid your cousin, or ask him if he doesn't ever get tired of asking you the same question.
Blow people off, and live life the way you want. You go, girl!
The desire to connect with others is not socially abnormal.
I know it's not, but OMG. Get a grip and stop putting kitty cat and wiener dog on a pedestal. No wonder people get used.
Whenever I come in contact with a romantically desperate man, the sociopath inside me almost wants to take advantage of his love sick ways, but the Christian in side me tells me it's wrong.
Being focused on getting laid is another issue entirely.
