    I need advice please people as i'm stressed and very frustrated about this........
    It seems anyone in my life is obsessed with my non existant love life.. i'm 20 year old male who has never had a sexual relationship and to be honest i'm more than happy with my life, Infact everyday i'm more and more convinced that i'm better off on my own.
    The people in my life friends, work people, family seem to be constantly on my back about it and even today my mates were saying they can't wait to get me sorted with someone.. Another friend of mine is going away next weekend and wants me to go and the first thing he said to me was ''I must buy you a nice prostitute for the night''
    Anyone got any ideas/suggestions so I can get people to leave me alone fs

    Ignore them. It'll happen when it happens. If you're happy at the moment just play it by ear. You'll be grand.

    Strange people you know! They sound very insecure. I would say you're perfectly right to wait until you feel ready, you're so young, why be tied down for the sake of it? I've a friend in a similar position who has basically invented a couple of vague girls he is interested in but who live far away, don't know if this is the sort of line you'd want to go down.

    It is indeed very hard. In this world people feel that what is good for them should be good for other people too. People are very well meaning and their heart is in the right place, but they fail to understand that just because something makes them happy or worked for them it does not mean it is the right answer for other people too.

    I got a lot of the same when I moved in with two girls. Friends and family kept telling us it is the wrong choice and we should rethink it. At the end of the day their heart was in the right place but all they were doing was thinking that since such a relationship would not be for them… and would not make them happy… it could not possibly be good for me either.

    The only solution I have found is to keep being yourself. Let people see you are happy with your life and how you are and who you are. Eventually they either lose interest or decide that you do not need their well meant advice after all. It required patience… and the self control not to eventually explode at them to shut them up… but it usually comes good in the end.
