Everything is just going so well for me. Is that bad I don't want to date? I feel it would be a distraction... I'm doing very well in all my classes right now and don't feel I have the time... The main reason I ask this is my friends keep trying to set me up because my ex of 3 years dumped me a few months ago and they think I need to get out there and date... I keep telling them I don't want to but they don't understand. I know they mean well and just want to see me happy but I am...I just don't know what to say to them anymore. I tried explaining that if I wanted a bf I could find my own, and that I don't want to get serious until after college.... Please help meh!

If you are happy in your life, Then there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to be involved in a relationship at this time. In fact I give you a whole lot of credit for knowing what is right.There is plenty of time to date, You do that when YOU are ready. If your friends keep trying to get you back with your ex, Then tell them you have no interest in dating and you would like them to stop. You said they mean well and I'm sure they do but setting you up with an ex that dumped you is just going backwards but to answer your question nothing wrong with it at all.

It's easy to see why your friends may be concerned but the fact of the matter is that you havent come to this decision due to negative circumstances. Your decision is not made on an unhealthy basis.
You just need to be first with your friends. Its your life and you're happy in it and in the decisions you've made. Should you start dating again it will be when youre ready and when you decide, not before. You appreciate their concern but you want no more fix ups. This you must firmly and clearly explain to them. No means no. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]
sweeethoney answered Tuesday April 19 2011, 3:21 pm: there is absolutely no problem with you not wanting a boyfriend! I dont want one either haha. Everything that us late teens/early 20s girls go through is already stressful enough, who wants to add a relationship on top of that? Plus, this is the time for us to find
out who we are as women, & thats YOUR journey, not you & your boyfriends journey.
Also, after being in a relationship for so long you deserve some time to be single & enjoy yourself. Your friends need to support you in this. Theyll eventually understand, they just have different points of view.
good luck :)
