akward question
Bumping into someone who I haven't talked to for a long time.
Me: Hey! It's been a long time... how are things going?
Acquaintance: Not bad, not bad... me and my boyfriend etc. etc. etc.
(several minutes after surface talk)
Acquaintance: So... do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No, I don't
....
Acquaintance: Well, why don't you?
Me: (err........)
Now, exactly what kind of question is that? An offensive one? Yes. I don't like the implications of this question... lol.
It bothers me that our lives are constantly being measured against these things. I want more then this in my life. Why have we become satisfied with so little? I'm tired of mediocrity. I'm tired of being okay. I'm tired of the facade people wear. I'm tired of caring what others think.
Oh switchfoot, you never fail to express how i feel...
"... Everyone's a lost romantic, since our love became a kissing show.
Everyone's a casanova, come and pass me the mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
She is easier than love, is easier than life. It's easier to fake and smile and bribe
It's easier to leave. It's easier to lie.
It's harder to face ourselves at night, feeling alone..."
Easier than love - switchfoot
God, take my life and make it more! I am so desperate for more of you. I'm desperate for a life of boldness, of fearlessness... to not be afraid to be who i am, to say how i feel and share what i believe in. Make my life like living music, full of emotion, full of expressions.

I would say something along the lines of this:
"I'm at a point in my life where I think I need to focus on school and building myself. I don't have to spend time searching cause I know he will come at the perfect time! All provided by God..."
I'm guessing your friend isn't Christian, but it's still worth a shot . I tell that to my Non christian friends.
Be BOLD!!

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone-
To have a deep soul relationship with another-
Be loved thoroughly, and exclusively.
But God, to a Christian, says:
I want you to be satisfied, fulfilled, and content
With being loved by Me alone-
With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me-
With having an intensely personal and unique relationship
With Me alone.
Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found,
Will you be capable of the best human relationship
That I have planned for you.
I want you to be united with another after you are united with Me-
Exclusive of anyone or anything else,
Exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing,
And allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing-
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best-
Please allow Me to bring it to you.
You just keep watching Me, trusting Me-
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am.
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
You just wait.
That's all.
Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.
Don't look around at the things
Others have gotten or that I've given them.
Don't look at the things you think you want.
You just keep looking off and up to Me,
Or you'll miss what I want to show you.
And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love
Far more wonderful than any you would dream of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready,
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I prepared for you,
You won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with me.
And this is the perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love.
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me,
And to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love
That I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly.
I am God.
Believe and be satisfied.
