You Can't Help Who You Don't Love

I've always hated the phrase "You can't help who you love." What about the people you just can't love. Around the holidays you see all of these couples with plastic smiles and entwined hands walking around in public with no visible purpose. I blame these couples for comments that I receive from my mother and other family members. "Aw, someday, Jenny, that could be you." "When are you getting married?" "See, there is someone for everyone."
Well I say, you can't help who you don't love. I'm sorry that unlike the billions of people who attach themselves to meaningless/plentiful relationships during the holidays I prefer to be alone than to be with someone I have genuine feelings for.
I operate under the strict rule of never date someone that you're not intellectually attracted to. To some this might sound naive or unrealistic, but I don't see the point in forced laughter and empty kisses. If I don't want to be with anyone than I won't be with anyone - so stop worrying about it! When the one guy who succeeds in charming me instead of annoying me comes along, then I'll care about these questions, but until then: Just a let a girl be single.
