Dear Nicola, I'm sick of being asked about my love life by relatives

Dear Nicola,

I’m seeing my extended family next weekend for the first time since this whole crazy pandemic began. Everyone is super excited but I’m kinda dreading it. The last time we all saw each other was at my cousin’s baby’s baptism in February and it was a bad day for me because people kept asking about my relationship status or whether I’d met anyone or whether I’d tried a dating app. I really wish they wouldn’t keep bringing it up. I’ve been single for a long time now and I’m just sick of it!

It also upsets me as I launched my own business last year and yet they didn’t ask me about that. I just want to be myself and be accepted for who I am.

How do you respond to awkward questions?

Thanks,
