Scripts to Fend Off Naysayers
On your path to living single happily ever after, you’ll find a lot of people who just won’t let you do that so easily. They’ll say stuff that might bother you, and it won’t just happen once. Different people somehow manage to say the same annoying things when it comes to people who have remained single for a long time.
Don’t get me wrong, some of these people genuinely care about your well-being, and thing that getting married really is the right move for you. If this is coming from a close relative or a caring friend, then it’s understandable. However, strangers or colleagues who barely know you might make things awkward by prying into your own personal life choices.
To people who push you to ‘find someone’ out of real concern for your well-being, you should mostly be polite with your answers. Explain to them why you feel like staying single seems like the right thing to do, at least for now. You can give them some of the many reasons mentioned above, such as how you’re focusing on self-growth, or need a lot of free time at hand at the moment. If they care about you, they’ll not only understand your point of view but also respect it!
When searching for the right one is getting tiresome...
