No Boyfriend Since Birth?

So yeah, the title says it all. Ill just share a little something about my frustrations these past few days, of how the modern world is making me sick and angry. First of all, Im in a group of friends where all of us are girls. We are 9 in the group (just like twice lol). So all of graduated high school as NBSBs. And then comes college, we moved on to different universities but we meet up every once in a while during events or so. So now, we lived up to our name as NBSBs, until they slowly started going out, haveing dates, relationships, boyfriends, MUs, and all that stuff. They started cancelling out, our fun time because they choose to pick their boyfriends or suitors or the boys. I know its part of life, but the thing is, WHY DO THEY NEED TO CANCEL ALL?

 

Im not mad they have boyfriends. But rather, the lack of time they have for our own group. Dont get it wrong Im not the only single person in our group there's still four of us (thankfully). Now my second frustration is how people has viewed dating and being in a relationship these days. I noticed how being single is considered all bad especially if you're a girl. Trust me, I had it worse during christmas. My relatives were like "How old are you?" And Ill just casually answer "twenty." and then theyll be like "You dont have a boyfriend?! Why? You should have one by now!" And to not be rude, I just shrug it off, give them the "I dont know" look when deep inside, Im already screaming "BECAUSE I DONT NEED ONE"

 

 

So to make things worse, people Ive met through the years made me more sick of this 21st century dating style.

1. Relationships are now seen as something to be shown off, like you have a gold diamond that you need to let everyone know.

2. Most couples only last for a couple of weeks.

3. I dont know and I dont understand, why do people go to the internet to find someone to date? I mean there must be hundreds of girls and boys with in their neighborhood, school, workplace and etc. Why and why? Why do you need to find a total stranger on the internet?

4. Most relationships are now ualized, its like if theres nothing ual involved. Then it aint real.

 

Im sorry, I ended up typing everything here. But really my main point here is: Nothing is wrong if youve never been in a relationship before, Id rather stay single than suffer in a relationship that's rushed and artificial. Being single, just tells people that "I havent found the right one yet. I can still do it on my own. I have other plans in my mind."

Pretty much everything I wanna say on this subject has been said already on your last paragraph so yeah let me give you a hug! Hahaha all objections on this subject can only get more ridiculous as you get older, I don't even pay attention anymore so brace yourself, you still have a long way to go dear. Conforming to societal pressures would only make one a fool especially if it doesn't work out in the end. So as someone who has been painfully single for a long time, I just shrug my shoulders especially when asked why don't have a bf yet, I mean like let him find me, I'm not the one who's lost and wandering around anyway :D

(on a side note, I get so worked up on being single during Valentine's Day more than Christmas. I'm not bitter but come on people, why wait for February 14 just to express your love to your special someone?! You're only crowding up the restaurants and cinemas and hotels all at the same time, paying exorbitant prices for reservations when you can celebrate it everyday, in your own little ways.)

Our family (like the whole clan lol) prioritizes career/education over relationships like that, so if you're twenty and already dating, I bet the elders in our family would talk to you and discourage you from committing on a boyfriend/girlfriend. Idk which one is worse lol
