^ Ditto. In fact, knowing your situation, and as I can clearly identify, I'll tell you what I said to my 'helpful' coworkers/friends:

"When I'm ready for a relationship, I'll let you know"
Them: "But how will you know you're ready if you don't try?"
"When I'm ready I'll let you know."
Them: "But--"
"When I'm ready I'll let you know."

and I kept repeating rather like a parrot until they got the point. I smiled at the first, then every time after, no smile--stone faced. Pretty effective. Especially, when you 'reward' them after they back off ...with the previously held back smile.

Not for nothing, did I learn the tricks of my ex bf. lol
