10 Things You Should Never Say to Singles

  Alright Fellow Single Gals, we've all heard them, and we're all slightly annoyed by them. To all you non-single folks, consider this a little bit of friendly advice. Here is "10 Things that You Should Never Say to Singles."

(**Please note that this is meant to be humorous, I'm not trying to offend anyone**).


1. So, why aren't you married?
Don't ask us that - we don't have the answer. If we did know the answer then we'd be busy trying to work through whatever it was so we could join the ranks with you married folks.

2. Oh, don't worry, your time will come.
My time for what will come? Have I not been living fully until I have that "special someone"?

3. Maybe God's trying to fix something in you before He sends you a husband.
Yes. You're right, because only perfect people get married. Stop trying to fix me, I'm not broken! Marriage is not a prize that one gets after learning everything that God needs to teach you.

4. It will happen when you least expect it.
The problem with that is....if you're single and actively looking, you are always kind of expecting it.

5. If you did/said/wore [fill in the blank] then you'd find a husband.
You're oversimplifying and you're asking us to become someone that we're not.

6. Have you tried online dating?
This is not the cure-all you think it is. Yes, it works out for some people, but it's just not my thing.

7. Have you tried putting yourself out there?
Oh. What? You mean I can't meet someone sitting in my living room watching infomercials all night long? Insightful.

8. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Thank you for pointing out that there are tons of people that are uninterested in me.

9. Don't you want to get married and have children?
Just because I'm content in my singleness, doesn't mean I have no desire for marriage or children. Yes, I do want to get married one day, but there's really nothing I can do to make that happen right now.

10. Let me introduce you to my brother/son/cousin/nephew/co-worker/personal trainer/mechanic/lawyer/ butcher/parole officer, etc.
Single person A + Single Person B = Match made in Heaven? Just because we're single does not mean that you can try to fix us up with every other single person you know - I'd like to believe that you would set me up with someone because our personalities would compliment each other.


Do you have any that should be added to the list? Any "single" statements that get on your nerves?

  2. Kara: Tell them who said I am worried? You mean I have no life and sitting there waiting for a man to make me complete and worthy?
