    This conversation is going nowhere. Either we don't know the answer ourselves, or we have our own good reasons that aren't really anyone else's business. Plus, there's really no way to ask this question without the "what's wrong with you subtext," so let's just not go there, okay?

    11. "It doesn’t matter how many knock backs you get, as long as you find ‘The One.’"

    12. “You need to ‘tone yourself down’ a bit.”

    13. "Why don’t you get back with your ex?"

    14. "Your time will come one day."

    15. "You should freeze your eggs/sperm."

    16. "One day you’ll look back and laugh about this."

    18. "I don't know how you stay positive."

    19. "It just hasn’t happened yet."
