Social Dilemma: Should I Be Married By Now? Is It Ok To Be Single and 47?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Scott and it's about being in a relationship. Here's his email: Hi Jaime. I have a serious question to ask. Because my friends are starting to drive me a little crazy. I’m in my mid-40s and living my best life…and I’m doing it solo. Yet, there seems to be an organized effort among my friend circle to get me hooked up with someone…anyone, in fact. Most of my friends have known me for well over a decade, and…for some reason…they’re just now telling me how “concerned” they are that I don’t have someone “special” in my life to share my time with. For the record, I am happy, not bad looking…at least I think so…, make a good living, and just enjoy traveling, doing my own thing, and not having to live for the expectations of someone else. They say that I’m being “shallow” and that I’m “secluding” myself. I say that I’m just living my life the way I want to, and they shouldn’t worry about it. It’s happening enough now, though, that I’m starting to get a complex about it. Is it really that weird that I'm not involved with anyone, or do I just need to continue to tell my friends to back off? Thanks for the help ~ Scott. Sounds to me like Scott is happy in his life. I understand that when you find joy with someone else, you want that for all your friends. But it sounds like Scott has found his own joy, and if he ever does meet the person for him, great. And if not, also great. What do you think? Let's help Scott out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
