So have you had the gay talk yet? When I was single for 7 years in my late 20's, early 30's. (I had really had enough of dating) I had my Auntie ask me if I was gay. She just couldnt understand why I didnt have a boyfriend, so it must be because I was gay. She's from another generation where people have to be married, and her own two daughters were married with kids very young and really struggled to why I was single. I dont know why she was so interested in my love life, lol, but my brothers found it very amusing, and I got teased for ages. Nobody btw, is homophobic, not in the least, but they just thought my Auntie was ignorant and old fashioned!

Anyway, you know what? I LOVED being single. I lived alone, went out to see friends, went to gigs and stayed in when I wanted. I could concentrate on my career and be a little selfish with my time. It was only when I met my current partner that I wanted to start dating. We were friends first, and then got it together, so I already liked him as a person and a friend. It was just fantastic and felt natural.

I dont think there's anything wrong with you - as long as you are happy with yourself! And who knows, there may be someone down the line who you just cant resist, someone who makes you feel great. Just keep being you, I dont think you should go dating or partying just because of peer pressure. Your mum needs to understand that you're happy as you are for the time being, and that not everyone is a party animal. Some people are more shy, or simply dont like that scene. You only get one life, so lead it your way.
