My parents used to be like that, too. I posted about this earlier on this thread... My dad didn't want me dating until I had my doctorate. :rolleyes: He felt that I should concentrate on my studies. On one occasion, when I was going through a particularly painful breakup, he actually said, "Good." :mad: While it is good that I didn't end up marrying that @$$hole, that was not what I needed to hear at the time!

Now, of course, my folks and my inlaws are getting older, and they want to be grandparents already. (DH and I are only children, so the only way they can get grandkids is through us.) Not a family gathering goes by that I don't get at least one hint. On top of that, my MIL expects that I will quit my job and stay home! :rolleyes:

Okay, </rant> I feel better now :)

My own parents never ever pressured me. It's the extended family who think you should be married to have a place in the world.. my DAD's Italian extended family. Then again, they rip on the cousin who is on her fourth marriage too. If I did get married again, I'm sure they'd talk about me for being married a third time. Bottom line is, you can't win with some of the snobs in my family unless you marry a rich man first time out and stay with him forever.

the only person that asked me if i had a girlfriend this year was my uncle. i told him no. then he tells me that there is this girl that they are trying to hook up. i ask for some info. he then tells me a little about her and says that she is a good girl waiting to find the right person, somewhat shy, has a degree, and has a great job making lots of money. he couldnt remember her name but says that he sees her all the time when he visits his friends house. later that day, he calls his friend to see if she was really available and that he might have someone interested in her and asks for her age and stuff. i find out she is 2-3 years older than me. SUGAR MOMMA! :D

so, my uncle is suppose to send me her picture sometime soon and says that he can take me to see her the next time he goes and visits his friend. i believe she lives about 30 minutes from me, so if i get her info before then i might just meet her up somewhere.

I can feel this topic! I've been single for 3 years and I get that question a lot. Oh, and with people who haven't seen me in awhile, it's the ever popular, "So....are you're still a virgin aren't you?" Can we get a new question? My parents used to wonder if I was a lesbian b/c it's always years in between boyfriends for me.

I think I'm just a 'girlfriend-girl' I don't like the whole "we're together, but with other people for x amount of months until I might commit to you." I don't do casual dating, we can go out and have fun getting to know each other, but I'm not going to claim a tie to you unless it's serious--either you're my boyfriend, or we're "just friends." If that means I only get a boyfriend every few years, then sobeit, I can afford to be picky.

That is really mean and rude....So, are you?


HAHAHAHAH don't answer that






now that is just funny.


Ok jk. I love you and I love God

this thanksgiving my grandfather asked "so when are you going to bring your boyfriend around so we can talk ugly to him?" Lovely, huh?

can't even mention what my boyfriend was asked, it made me blush when he told me, and i don't blush so easily...

Oh, I'm not shy about it, it's not a secret. I know it's a stereotype, but by my screenname, you can surmise as much. :)

So I took my great grandmother some Thanksgiving dinner, and had been there for five minutes before I hear:
"When are you getting married? If you don't hurry up, you'll be too old to have kids." (I'm only 28.)
