Why do my friends keep bugging me about finding a man?

I haven't dated in five months. I just got out of a relationship. My best friend said, "We gotta work on finding YOU a man. Don't you wanna nice guy?"
My ex boyfriend was a jerk to me and insulted my deceased mother and said I needed to stop grieving over a woman that didn't give a shit about me. I dumped his ass. We've been together for 11 months. July would have been a year. My friends invited me to the Valentine's day dance. It's a special needs dance for adults. I'll go but I'm not there to find a man. I don't want one. My there friend said, "Never say never. You might meet someone. You're a very pretty girl, you're going to find someone. Besides you gotta get into the dating scene. A few months ago, they told me I wait until I'm ready. Now they're telling me I need to find a man. They both got new boyfriend's. They're almost NEVER single. They told me I'm almost 30 and it's time to start looking.
People say a lot of things but it's your life, you dont NEED a man, women are told they need men all the time, its ridiculous.
You will find a nice guy in your own time, nothing like your prick of an ex.
You just worry about yourself, dont listen to other people's ideas about what you should do with your life. You dont need to be emotionally dependent on another person, it's good to figure yourself out first

@MushroomFaerie Exactly! Thank you. I dont understand why people think so need a man. We don't. I don't NEED one.

Sometimes I wish people would mind their business when it comes to certain things. People will date when they feel the time is right for them and you can’t force it. It just sucks when people want and think they know what’s best for you without asking you.

Date only when you want to, it's your life you know what's best for you

Lol Don't let those friends dictate your love life. It's not going to end well. Only seek a relationship when you're ready for it. Don't ever do it out of peer pressure. I think your friends only mean well for you. They're almost never single, so I guess their ways of life must include a relationship at all cost. But they have to understand that it's not the same for everybody, and it's not necessarily bad to be single.

I don't need a man to make me happy. I am a content homebody and I always have something to do or needs doing. Tell your hovering friends to MYOB or break off the friendship. No one should tell someone how to live their lives.
