1. If your [deceased relative] were still alive, he/she would be shocked that you’re still single at your age.
2. The adults’ table is full now that your sister-in-law has joined the family. I hope you don’t mind sitting with the kids. Just watch out for Timmy – he’s a biter.
3. Maybe if you changed your hair…
4. You won’t understand until you’re married.
5. Are you seeing anyone? Because if you aren’t, there’s the sweetest guy at work I’d like you to meet, and I’m pretty sure he’s straight.
6. Maybe if you lost a little weight…
7. All your siblings and cousins were married by the time they were 25.
8. Here, just take the whole wishbone. Think of it as the Thanksgiving version
of catching the bouquet. Maybe you’ll have a boyfriend to introduce to us at
Christmas!
9. Maybe if you dressed more stylishly…
10. Remember [certain delinquent from high school]? Well, he’s out of prison and not living in his truck anymore. Interested?
