Plot Twist: Still Single

9 Answers To The Dreaded Relationship Questions At Thanksgiving

I hope the high school aged, college aged, and all single people are ready for all of the relationship questions during this holiday season. Your family isn't trying to ruin your life, they're just curious. But, it really does stink sometimes to answer those questions. Like sorry to let you down now and forever with the same answer "still single, grandma." Maybe this year we can get a little creative with our responses. Here are nine ideas of how you can respond when someone asks...

"So who is the lucky guy/girl?"

1. "Absolutely no one. I suffer from chronic single-itis. The prognosis is not good, so you should probably stop asking."

2. "Ehh, commitment?? People do that? I don't know grandma, people are pretty scary these days."

3. "I have a severe case of the uglies before noon everyday and that's when most people see me so naturally I am forever single."

4. "Netflix is all I really need in life right now I don't have time for relationships."

5. "I have a bad eye so I can hardly see the cute boys anyone..." (personal problem here, but it was necessary)

6. "It's hard to fall in love when I am constantly falling flat on my face all of the time!"

7. "Gotta focus on those grades, can't waste my time right now." (Response family member may respond with: "Oh... well sure, you've got plenty of time!" Refrain from angrily twitching at that comment).

8. There's really just no guys worthy of me here. I mean have you seen me? Ain't no regular person worthy of this dime!"

9. "Long story short, I'm hopeless. Sorry... Let's eat."

And that my friends, is how you score the ultimate pity from your family, the promise that people won't ask for at least the rest of the day, and the chance that they'll try to set you up with one of their friend's children. With that, I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!

Your relationship doesn´t have to be full of exchanges of lavish gifts. You do not have to go on elaborate dates and try crazy things. While those are great for a relationship, there are much simpler ways to ensure a happy and stable union.
