Some people are so committed to matchmaking, youd think they were getting commissions from Cupid himself.
They dont just drop hints they launch full-scale romantic ambushes.
These self-appointed romance gurus bulldoze through personal boundaries just to make their ship sail.
Now, lets be clear: this man is a certified 10 in the looks department.
If hotness werecurrency, hed be making Jeff Bezos look broke.
Lets just say its still buffering.
At least thats what the OP says.
For her, conversations with him felt like trying to load a webpage with dial-up internet.
At this point, even a goldfish has a better memory.
The OP tried to be polite.
Oh, how wrong she was.
Every time the OP steps outside, its another round of You two would be so cute together!

So, whats ourcreeped-out OP to do?
Fake her own disappearance?
Before resorting to witness protection, maybe setting boundaries withpersistent meddlerswould be a good idea.
Deflect personal questions with humor, vague answers, or by changing the subject entirely.
When all else fails, embrace the art of mystery and keep them guessing.
The less they know, the less material they have to work with.
The Grey Rock Methodis another effective way to deal with people who just wont quit.
Give short, neutral answers, dont show emotion, and avoid adding details.
Meddlers thrive on reactionsif they stop getting one, theyll eventually move on to a more exciting target.
And, if that doesnt work, theres always the good old fake partner trick.
Okay, this one isnt exactly ethical, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Nothing shuts down a persistent matchmaker like the phrase, Im seeing someone!
At the end of the day, the OP doesnt owe anyone an explanation for her dating preferences.
