Whether you’ve been flying solo for five minutes or five decades, chances are you’ve been subjected to the question: why are you single? That’s often followed by a cross-examination of your personal life that makes you feel like you’re on trial for not being in a relationship.
Rather than get tongue tied with excuses, we’ve got some fun answers that will boost your confidence and make you smile.
Why are you single?
Sometimes this has a compliment slapped on the front of it…”you’re so pretty and smart, why haven’t you found someone?”
We love this question! It’s an opportunity to stand up for yourself and your single brethren everywhere.
Turn the tables. When Victoria is asked why she’s been single so long after her divorce, she stares into her interrogator’s eyes and with a smile says, “He’s on his way. I’m sure he’s just stuck in traffic like everyone else.”
Alys cleverly responds, “I’ve never been married, but I’ve also never been divorced.”
Another great answer to why you are still single is simply “I’m overqualified.”
I know someone single; can I set you two up?
“Sure, that sounds terrific. In fact, if he’s breathing, we’d be a perfect match.”
Those who aren’t single seem to forget that your relationship status isn’t the only consideration when introducing two people. It’s best to be polite, ask a few more questions and decide whether to accept the matchmaker’s offer.
