Why do my friends/people I talk to always try to force me into conversations/relationships?

Anonymous

here’s a short summary: I’m a highschool student, who’s rather closed off to people who aren’t my friends (as most people are) The majority, if not all, of my friends are men. Of course I have no problem talking to women for school projects and I’ve had a few female friends in the past. However, I seriously get asked somewhat often if I’m gay because people claim they’ve never seen me talk to a girl. As a result, they try to force conversations, make jokes, or give me unwanted tips. I tell them I’m happy with my situation and the comments don’t really bother me, but why are they trying to force me into it? I understand that a lot of people are trying to get into their first relationship before they end highschool, but why are they trying to get me to do the same?
