The loneliness that this time of year often brings can be overwhelming. Have you considered volunteering at all? For anything really. I love volunteering, it gives me something to do, something else to focus on, and it feels good knowing I am doing something positive.
Or worse, you go to a family function or a family induced function, only to find that they happen to have a single "friend" that they know would be perfect for you, that is also there. These are worse than blind dates, because you have family members that played a role in this taking place.
I admit I finally got even in a mean way. And I got the point made. I said Mom......I may as well tell you....the reason I'm not married is because I'm gay. You could hear her heart stop pumping for that few seconds. I said OK Not really but you need to STOP with this constant match making. Its embarrassing.
That worked REALLY well.
Sorry mom. But had to finally find the magic lamp here.
