Whatever your relationship status, there are plenty of people out there who consider it their sovereign duty to stick their nose in your business and drop what they consider to be pearls of wisdom on you that convey whether or not you are doing your love life correctly. 

If you're single, they'll tell you to put yourself out there more, and that nothing gets you over the last one like the next one, and that desperation is unattractive, and that true love is always in the last place you look. If you're in a new relationship, they'll tell you it's important for both parties to let the guy do the chasing and not to get into bed before the third date and goodness knows what else.
