I see that you started similar threads on other forums and somebody pointed out that people engage in PDA not to irritate or pressure you. People just enjoy doing whatever the heck they want. I’d try not to worry about others do.
But I do understand pressure to date. Once when I was single, funeral director at my grandmas funeral expressed concern that I was alone (as no partner). I was quite irritated as I was not there for a dance party and having a partner isn’t a requirement at funerals. Jeez

I have posted similar threads on different forums. I initially had a hard time receiving responses, but of course now that's taken care of. That sure does stink that you have had to deal with that at a funeral. Those should be reserved for remembering or celebrating that person's life. :/
I have experienced similar pressure when my uncle passed. Questions have come up about who can continue my last name, due to me being an only child, and my parents and I being the last ones in either side of our family to marry or bear children after the loss of my uncle. But I'll always remember what a counselor told me when she said I can also pass the values and positive characteristics my family has been known for to even more people rather than just passing my name to a new generation.
