20 Things Single Pringles Are Tired Of Hearing

Author's photo

So, as a fellow Single Pringle, I feel like I am qualified enough to say what I'm tired of hearing about my love life. People mean well, but sometimes other people's opinions just bring you down.

To provide some context, I'm at that point in my life where it feels like all of my friends are in a serious committed relationship that seems lasting. I have not been in a serious relationship in a few years. Guess what? I'm still in one piece. However, I don't need to hear everyone's opinion about it either.

1. How are you still single?

2. You're not putting yourself out there enough.

3. What about so-and-so? You would be great together.

4. You should go over to that guy by the bar.

5. Have you tried online dating?

6. No seriously, have you tried dating online? It's not as bad as it sounds.

7. Aren't you lonely?

8. Have you met anyone at work?

9. Anyone new in your life?

10. I bet you drive the people you are attracted to crazy.

11. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

12. Does it bother you when you see couples out together?

13. Maybe you're being too picky.

14. Don't be so serious, dating should be fun.

15. Just get yourself out there.

16. Maybe your RBF is scaring them away.

17. You might meet someone tonight, you never know!

18. You must be miserable without a significant other.

19. You could always get a cat or 2.

20. Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Some of these seem a little harsh, and honestly some of these I've picked up from a look someone has given me. The rest are things I have heard on more than one occasion. The stereotype that if I am single I must be lonely and desperate is ridiculous. Yeah, there are people out there like that. But not EVERY single pringle.
