I need help. I need YOUR help to get my relatives off my back.

You see, due to some accident, my aunt's flat's tiles exploded and this resulted in my cousin moving in with us and occasional visits from my aunts and uncles. Add on to the Christmas get-togethers, New Year get-togethers, visits to my grandmother's... I'm going to go crazy!!

By what you may ask?

When I was young, I got sick of the "My, how you have grown" thingy everytime I met up with my family. Now, I'm getting sick of the boyfriend business.

"Mei Mei, where is your boyfriend?"
"I don't have one."
"Huh? You're kidding right? How old are you? Almost 18 and no boyfriend!!?? Don't even a boyfriend before? How can!! Look at Samuel. He's 15, in a boy's school and he has a girlfriend. You are much older than him and you don't have a boyfriend!!! In my times, people your age were married already!!"

Ya ya whatever... I get the above nonsense at least twice everytime I see my relatives.

And they always have to remind me that no one wants me. Thanks.

I want to get them off my backs. Coz they simply do not understand the meaning of "waiting". Not waiting for a particular age to start dating but for the right person. And they can't understand that!! Or at least those who have popped the question *Pulls hair* It's definitely not my problem that all cousins are attached. My parents are not rushing me anyway. *Continues ranting*

So, if you have any good advice on getting relatives off backs, please help. And no disrespectful and rude methods and I'll be grateful.

If you ask me, except for the financial incentive, there's nothing happy about CNY.
