I've always sort of felt like I'm doing something wrong or breaking some kind of social rule by not having a girlfriend to bring to Christmas dinner with my family and I'm wondering is it just me? Does anybody else feel like this around the holidays?
Yes, I agree with you, Loki.
I hate being single on holidays.
But hey, I at least give you credit for showing up at family/relative gatherings being single.
For me, I don't show up or attend family / relative get-togethers for lunch or dinners, because ALL of my cousins are married and have babies or kids who are now in high school or middle school.
I, myself, is the only individual who not only has not married, but don't even have a girlfriend. It is very stressful that I can't find a significant other, and at times during my prayers, ask God why he has cursed me.

Being in a relationship is not some kind of Fad or something. We don't need to be in it only because everyone is. I think its hard to find the right person. Everyone can be fake at first only to pursue or please each other that is the biggest bummer.
^^ Well, being in a relationship with a girlfriend (or boyfriend for female members), gives you some credibility and some comfort that you're with someone, and not viewed by others as being weird or antisocial or having mental issues when it comes to love/romance.
Yes, it is hard for me, at least, to find the right person, because I'm constantly getting ignored or no text messages response after my first date.
Being in a relationship is not a fad, but it helps to be in one so that you don't feel alone and stressed out.
