My petty gripe: my coupled friends refuse to set me up with a potential mate. It’s not good enough

I'm so done with my friend group being all about their own love lives Can't we just get some decent singles in the mix already?! I mean, sure, online dating is a drag, but at least it's an option. When are couples going to put down their phones and help out their single friends? I'm tired of attending fancy gatherings with no one to talk to It's time for them to step up and set me (and everyone else) up with someone interesting

Ugh dont even get me started on my friend group . Theyre all so busy throwing their own bachelorette parties and whatnot that they hardly ever ask me to join them anymore. Like i get it, im single and all but do i really need an invite just because im not in a relationship?

I swear some of these girls are more interested in posting pics on the 'gram than actually putting themselves out there for their friends. And dont even get me started on how hard it is to find someone decent online . Its like swiping through a never-ending graveyard of selfies and shallow bio's.

Im not asking for much, just a little help would be great . Maybe my friend has a cousin or something who she thinks i'd hit it off with. Something, anything would be better than another awkward night alone .

i mean, can u believe this? singles are literally being left high & dry by their friends who are too busy sipping champagne to care about setting them up. like, how hard is it to introduce two people you know who might actually get along? not that much, right? and yet, couples seem to think they're above all that drama, just throwing lavish parties & expecting everyone else to do the heavy lifting . newsflash: singles don't need a bunch of fake smiles & shallow conversations - we need actual connections & people who genuinely care about us

Wow , I'm so down with this idea! It's crazy how we're expected to do all the work when our friends are too busy living their best lives. Can't they see how frustrating it is to be single and still have people who claim to care? I mean, a little effort goes a long way – just introduce me to someone cool and let's get this party started! Interesting that couples are too caught up in their own love lives to even bother setting us up... maybe they're just too busy taking selfies together .

Ugh, don't even get me started on this article . Like, I get it, singles are tired of being set up by their friends who are too busy living their own love lives to care. But can we not just put the blame entirely on them? Maybe some single people aren't that interested in getting set up because they've had bad experiences with online dating or are just really picky .

And professional matchmaking services? That's just a Band-Aid solution to the problem of lazy friends. I mean, what's wrong with taking it upon yourself to put your single friends on a decent date every now and then? It's not that hard . And can we please stop assuming that all coupled friends are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs while their singles friends struggle? Some of us have our own busy lives too, you know .

And what's with the "come on, set us up with someone decent" attitude? Like, we're not asking for much. Just a little effort to put together some tolerable dates or introduce me to someone interesting . But no, instead of taking responsibility for their own social calendar, friends are just expecting everyone else to do the heavy lifting. It's time to take ownership of our social lives and stop blaming others .
