But my friends don't accept my decision, they keep reminding me that i am weird, (especially now because now is a festive season) i should get a b.f. Some guys are approaching, but i keep disappointing them. Do you think i am wrong? Reply to this Question

 YOU do what YOU need to do and WANT to do. DO NOT live your life to make your friends happy.
You are wise to take a break. I would not put a time frame on it however, I would just live your life and when you are ready you will know it. What you feel is NOT their business.
so when they ask you out you can say "thank you I'm not really dating right now" and leave it at that.

That's a sign of a strong character. A weak person caves in to what other people want rather than what they know for themselves to be right.

 The only opinion that matters here is your own, girl! If you are wanting to take a break from dating, by all means do so! You are young and should be enjoying yourself and your singular freedom! Go with the flow, take a break, and enjoy yourself. Don't go find a new guy just because you think you need to or that you have something to prove to your friends. Start dating when you find a cool guy and it seems right. I think your choice is awesome and incredibly mature.

 So what if your friends don't accept your new status? It's not up to them!
Besides, it's not like you're going to be doing this till you're 30 or asking them to boyfriend fast with you.
Do what makes YOU happy. If you want to enjoy being single for a year surrounding yourself with friends who accept you for who you are and family, then go for it! You have PLENTY of years ahead of you for dating. There's no rush!
