Rachel is sitting in her last class of the day when her phone buzzes with a text from Tina.

"I know this boy you should meet, he's really cute. His name is Luke. You should really get out there and start dating - you do not want to be single all of your life, do you? Remember that we have movie night at Kurt's place tonight and don't forget the food."

Rachel actually loved her best friends but their need to try to set her up with someone gets on her nerves. The guys that Kurt and Tina suggested have all been crazy in different ways. There was one guy that they tried to set her up with that was gay and he thought that it was just Kurt that was meeting him at the bar, but when Rachel showed up with him, things became awkward really fast. We soon learned that his name was Blaine and he spent the rest of the night talking with Kurt. The funny thing is that Kurt and Blaine started dating not too long after the night at the bar.

They also tried to set me up with a guy named Jesse and a guy named Brody. You could say that these two meetings did not go so well. Jesse did not even care to show up at all and Brody just wanted to get in my pants - that is all he thought I would be good for. Rachel did not care about boys she did not want to date. Sure her friends keep trying to set her up with a guy but they always go terribly wrong. She wanted to focus on her dreams of working on Broadway and winning her first Tony. Is that too much to ask? Why does everything have to be centered on dating? I'm a strong independent woman. I don't need a man by my side to be successful in this world. Her friends, on the other hand, don't understand that and it drives her insane. They still don't understand even after she explained it several times.

Tonight was movie night. Friday night movie nights were a tradition for them that they started back in 6th grade. It was something that no matter how busy their life was, they always made sure they had movie night. Kurt has an older brother named Finn who also went to the same school as Tina, Rachel and Kurt. The only difference is he was a senior and we were juniors. Sometimes he hangs out with us. He is a great guy - really sweet and has a great sense of humor. He is fun to be around.

Rachel was sure to grab the popcorn and the sour gummy worms before she left for Kurt's house. Once she got there, she could see that Tina was already there and that they were all trying to decide what movie they wanted to watch.

"Let's watch Funny Girl," Rachel said as she set her stuff down and walked over to join the others.

"Have you not seen that movie like a thousand times Rachel?" Finn says sarcastically as he starts to laugh.

"Well yes, but that movie is truly a classic and we have not watched it in a while," Rachel says.

"I agree it is one of the best musicals but I still think that Wicked is better though. I wouldn't mind seeing Funny Girl again," Kurt says with a smile.

"I also am okay with watching Funny Girl tonight but we have to sing along with the movie," Tina says.

"Of course! Is there any other way to watch it? I am going to go make the popcorn. I brought some sour gummy worms," Rachel said as she made her way into the kitchen.

Once the popcorn was all made, Tina, Kurt and Rachel and Finn are all sitting on the couch wrapped in blankets with two bowls of popcorn between them.

Rachel loved this movie but she was kind of dreading the end of it because she had a feeling that her friends were going to pester her about dating like they always do. Plus, Tina wants to set her up with this Luke guy. I tell you, it is just a nightmare waiting to happen because if something could go wrong it would.

As the movie progressed they sang along with the movie. It was not on key or perfect, but they had fun eating popcorn and sour gummy worms and laughing. Her absolute favorite part in the movie was when "Don't Rain on my Parade" came on. She has been singing that song since the time she has been able to sing.

After the movie they all sat on the floor with their blankets laughing and telling jokes and stories to each other. After awhile there was this loud rumbling noise and everyone looked at Rachel as she blushed.

"I'm sorry I am hungry again Kurt. Do you guys have any pizza in the freezer that we could make?" Rachel said as her tummy grumbled.

"Yes, there is some cheese pizzas in the fridge if you want to pop them in the oven," Kurt said.

They all sat down and ate the pizza and talked about their days and Rachel knew it was a matter of time before Tina would bring up the subject of dating and boys. She knew there was no use in trying to avoid the subject because it would not work. There was no way to avoid the subject. She was going to just face it head on like she normally does.

On cue, Tina says, "So that boy Luke, you should really talk to him. He is cute and smart and in our grade. What could go wrong?"

"I don't want to date anyone, Tina. That is not what I'm focused on or care about at the moment," Rachel said, clearly a little annoyed by the situation.

"I thought I wouldn't want to date anyone but that changed when I met Blaine. I think you should give dating a try. You might be surprised that you like being in a relationship with someone," Kurt said.

Rachel knows that Kurt and Tina are just trying to help but it's exhausting. Kurt may be happy with his boyfriend, Blaine and Tina and her boyfriend, Artie but she just wants to be single and focus on starring on Broadway someday. The only one that's not pressuring her to go on a date with someone is Finn, who is just staying out of it and looks kinda zoned out. He normally stays out of these types of things anyway.

"Rachel, pick a guy and just go on one date. It would not hurt anything and you might find that you like dating someone. Plus, you can't say you don't like something until you try it," Tina says.

Clearly, I can't win this argument no matter how hard I try. I could always go on a fake date with someone, no strings attached and they would never know the difference. This would be great practice for my debut on Broadway.

"Well, there is a guy at school who I sort of have my eye on. He is really sweet and tall and good looking," Rachel says.

"I knew you had your eye on someone! He seems like he would be really great for you. I need to meet this guy!" Tina exclaims.

"Rachel, I need to meet this guy. He must be perfect if he has you crushing on him," Kurt says.

Trying to hide her shocked expression, she can't believe they bought it. They really think that I actually care enough about guys to look for one. My bigger problem is finding a guy like this. There must be somebody that could be my boyfriend for the night, but who?
