4 “Do you have anyone to introduce to me?”

Another cool way to handle this situation is to turn the question around and ask the person who is putting you on the spot. This also hints that you’re still single and could be seen as a request for them to introduce you to potential partners. Kill two birds with one stone!

5 “Start preparing your wedding gift for me. I’ve chosen the wedding date, but I haven’t decided on the year or the perfect bride/groom yet”

I’ve chosen the wedding date, but I haven’t decided on the year or my partner yet

This response is playful and humorous, creating a light and relaxed atmosphere for everyone. It’s definitely worth considering!

6 “I want to stay with my parents”

“I want to stay with my parents”

While this response may not be as cool as the others, it showcases your love and dedication to your family. Family bonds are sacred, and those who hear this response will likely understand and support your choice.

In addition, there is a special day called Black Day (Black Valentine, Black Day) derived from the romantic elements of Red and White Day, dedicated to celebrating singles who haven’t found their perfect match yet.

These witty responses will help you navigate tricky situations with ease. Hope you feel empowered and ready to tackle those questions with confidence! Best of luck!

Frequently asked questions

There are various ways to respond to this question, depending on your relationship status and sense of humor. Some savage responses include: ‘The day you become a mind your-business expert’, ‘When the person who can put up with me for longer than a week is born’, or ‘Tomorrow. Want an invite?’

You could say, ‘I’m just waiting for your wedding to steal your groom/bride’, or ‘When the stars align and my bank account is as fat as my dreams’. You could also deflect with a joke, like, ‘I’m too busy working on my awesome single life right now!’

A simple and effective response is, ‘Whenever it happens, you’ll be the first to know’. This politely shuts down the inquiry while also assuring the asker that they are important to you.

Often, it’s a result of societal pressure and the belief that marriage is a milestone everyone should achieve. Some may ask out of genuine curiosity or a desire to keep up with your life. However, it’s important to remember that you are not obligated to share personal details just because someone inquires.
