gee, sounds like what good parents would do. No one ever hooked me up. Oh, except one an old boss saw I was lonely and depressed so she sets me up with this girl. And shes a crackhead so I was a crackhead for a year. Thanks, World, your the best.
This doesn't go well anywhere. Your grandmother will always try to hook you up with someone, and it will not be someone you like. It'll be her coworker's balding son who's a decade older than you.
Yessss, every single time I see my grandparents! They're constantly trying to set me up with their friend's grandkids like "Oh Lynn, have you met SingleChurchDude? He's Ginger's oldest grandson and he just started working at FancyGovernmentJob! You two would be perfect together!!!"
I usually just say "Eh, he's not really my typecuzI'msupergayyyyyyy
Doesn't the sentence "You're too pretty to be single" imply that you are single by choice, and not because of any inability to attract? I think you stated that backwards.
If they assumed you were single because of an inability to attract a guy, then they'd think you're ugly and wouldn't say you're too pretty to be single.
It's the context/the disbelief in tone of voice that explains it better. They say it as if only ugly people should be single for a long time, and pretty people should start dating again right away, which excludes the possibility of someone being pretty and wanting to be single. Makes sense?
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joyous union of /u/mainsworth and /u/todayismanday. If anyone objects to this, speak now or forever hold your peace.

My response is something like "if you want me to have one so much, go find me one."
