I just read this article and found some of these very funny, and yes some of them I get tired of hearing as a single person. How do you all feel?

I HATE the one "When you stop looking, that is when you'll find her!" Single people are always looking to date someone. Maybe not as aggressively or consciously as others, but they are always looking.

And the YOUR JUST TOO PICKY! That makes me feel as if I don't have a choice in the matter that I should settle for the first person who shows me the least amount of attention.

This is a funny read !!

One thing that I hate... and this is said by single people to me...

"your options must be limitless" ... "I'm sure you get millions of emails"...

direct quotes.... if my options were so limitless and I could have anyone I wanted... don't you think I wouldn't be single?

I hate this one too because its true. I can't tell you how many great people I've met while i was in a relationship that i would have LOVED to date, but didn't because i was in a relationship. Many have even stated that it was too bad i was unavailable!!! Now that I'm single, i probably could look them up, but it makes me feel like I'm treating these others as the 2nd place prize or something. I don't think its a good idea.

People seem to sense when you're truly not looking and that's when they come out of the wood works.

I agree. My mom is always saying "When you stop looking, that is when you'll find him!"...She means well, but come on....it doesn't help.

I feel the same way about being too picky, but you defintely don't want to settle.

Why is it all so complicated?

You could look them up, maybe on Facebook. I wouldn't feel like a 2nd place prize if I were them. The timing was off, that's all. In some cases, its better that way because you have more experience under your belt now.
