My answer is no.

My mother visited me today and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?", out of nowhere. I told her no and she replied, "Why not? Does no one want you?". She also added, "You should go out more. That's why you still don't have a boyfriend.". 
I just rolled my eyes. 
Please I'm an adult. I can live my life the way I want. 
One more thing, it's not that no one wants me, I just don't want to get into a relationship. People are trying to set me up with their cousins, someone they know, but I keep telling them I want it to be natural. Truth is I'm just trying to decline in a polite way. I'm not fit to be in any relationships. How can I love someone when I don't even love myself? And I want to find the happiness within myself first, before I find someone to spend my life with. I have way too many issues I need to resolve. I can't deal with anyone. I don't have time for relationships. 

These days I get a lot of question like this. Everyone is asking whether I have someone. I'm tired of answering those questions. 

What's wrong with being single? They never ask a guy whether they have a girlfriend or not. Being in a relationship doesn't even guarantee happiness. I wish I could say that to them. But I can't. They are all either married or in a happy relationship. They have a totally different belief than I am. 

And my mother, what makes her think she has the right to ask me that question? Does she think seeing what happened to her and my father make me want to get married? 

I have no desire to get married. A relationship? Probably not in another 10 years. Yes I'm already 27. I don't mind being single for another 10 years, as long as I have money. And I guess little happiness as well.
