If you're looking for an escape from the constant "Are you dating anyone?," "Why are you still single?," or even "Will you be getting engaged soon?" questions, I've got your back. Here are 7 emergency conversation topics to discuss if you're trying to keep your love life (or lack there of) away from your Thanksgiving table.
College (or school in general if you're not in college yet)
This one's always good to talk about because odds are you never get to tell the family you see at Thanksgiving all your new stories. Also, you can mention all the new friends you made which should distract from the daunting question of whether you met your husband/wife yet.
Christmas
Around Thanksgiving most of my family asks what I want for Christmas so let this be a topic to relieve the love life talk.
Pets
Animals are always a good distraction in any conversation, so if you have pets or your family has pets just go on about them.
Plans for winter break
Since college has such a long winter break most college kids have plans on what to do for that time period. It's OK if you don't but if there are plans, even in the works, mention them to get out of any unwanted conversation.
A new job or internship if you recently got one
It can be super exciting to have a position in the future, so you shouldn't keep quiet about this new commitment in your life.
Things you're involved in
Being involved is something that your family will love to hear about it, don't be shy! Keep rattling on about everything you do and they will totally forget about a possible significant other in your life.
Family drama
If all else fails, go along with the family drama that is going on and that should definitely help distract.
