Dear Queenie,
I’m in my 20s and not interested in getting into a serious relationship with one person, but all my friends seem to think it’s time for me to find a mate and they keep trying to fix me up with other singles they know.
Queenie, how do I get them to leave me in (single) peace?—Happily unattached
Dear Unattached,
If you enjoy casual dating, thank your friends for offering pleasant persons for you to date, but tell them what you have told me – that you are not looking for anything serious.
If you are not even interested in casual dating, tell your friends that and, again, thank them for their efforts on your behalf.
