Is being single the new norm?

vivian01 (China)

I am 28, single and I am completely okay with it. That doesn't mean that I don't want to have a boyfriend, but I just hasn't met the one I love. My family and relatives are forcing me to find a boyfriend, but I don't listen to them. It's my life and I can choose what I want, without having to give explanation why are things like that. When the time comes, I'm sure I will find a boyfriend. So my suggestion to those who are single and under parental pressure is: there is no need to hurry, enjoy life like everyone else. When you find a right guy and you click with him, you will know that it is the right thing. Till then, don't worry what people will say.
