Is a parent giving unsolicited advice on how to find a boyfriend toxic? (Page 2)

Question

I never asked for strategies to get a boyfriend, but parent is repeatedly telling me to try going on a dating site because the social events I've been going to for the past two months haven't resulted in me meeting someone. Don't you think that there is a lot wrong with that comment? First of all, she's giving me unsolicited advice, two, that I should always be on the lookout for a boyfriend, and three, that I should be having a panic attack because I haven't found a boyfriend 'my way' within a short span of two months. At least that's the way I interpret that behavior. Any other interpretations?
