"I'm not interested in dating at the moment I am not anti-love. I've been in relationships, but I'm currently the only single friend in my girls group and I'm being treated like a sad case. I'm not interested in dating at the moment, especially after breaking up with someone a year ago. But my best friend, Whitney, keeps telling me to get back in the saddle."
"Whitney thrives in relationships. She's what I'd call a serial dater. As soon as one relationship ends, another is waiting in the wings. But I, on the other hand, am fine by myself. I broke up with my ex as we had drifted apart. He was only my second boyfriend. It was hard at first, but then I began to love my own company again. This is the first time in ages when I've felt genuinely calm, with no compromises."
A 28-year-old woman is the only single friend in her group and feels treated like a sad case. She is not interested in dating after a breakup a year ago and values her own company and calm without compromises. Her best friend Whitney, a serial dater, pressures her to get back into dating, arranges match-up attempts with her boyfriend's friends, and hosts couples' dinner parties that make the woman feel excluded. Whitney also drops comments about not leaving having children too long, adding cultural and familial pressure. The woman finds matchmaking embarrassing, does not want dating out of convenience, and does not need rescuing.
