social pressures
I went to a wedding today. The groom is a co-worker of my moms but he's close to my age. We went with friends of my mom, who I also love. However, today I was slightly uncomfortable. It was stated several times that I "need" a boyfriend, partly teasing but with underlying seriousness.
I know I don't date and socializing with people my age is rare. I have friends, mostly female, at work and at church but we don't go out and do things together. I try to make friends and socialize when I'm in places where I feel comfortable. I know it's weird but I rarely feel comfortable with people my age but I try. I know I should try harder and I will.
However, no matter how lacking my social life may seem to others, the point is....
I'm *happy* and I don't need a big social life or a boyfriend.
