It's that time of year again. Sure, it's wonderful to spend time with family and to catch up with old friends. But for most singles, Thanksgiving comes with heaping side of stress.
First, there are the inappropriate questions and unhelpful suggestions:
* Whatever happened to that nice boy/girl you were seeing last year? S/he seemed perfect for you.
* Did you ever think that maybe you're being too picky?
* You know, you're not getting any younger.
* Did you hear that so-and-so just got engaged? Everyone else's kids are getting married. What's wrong with you?
Then, maybe a helpful family member will try their hand at matchmaking. Oh no, mom set-ups are the worst!
What's a single guy or gal to do?
For starters, it's important to keep your sense of humor. And remember, they may have an odd way of showing it, but your family really does care about your happiness. It's probably best to just laugh off their meddling and enjoy their company.
And hey, maybe the amazing matchmakers at IJL San Francisco will be able to find you that special someone before the next family occasion. That'll keep them quiet!
