Family Gathering

There's a family gathering on Saturday the 1st week of Oct at home. It scares me. Well..lil bit. Sometimes, I avoid to attend this family gathering. The elders keep asking me wit the same question, "when will you get married?" ..

I know they worry about me. Specially, when my mum past away on last July. But, what can I say If I haven't got the rite one ?

Georrrgggee Cloooonnneey... come and get meee .....

I understand what you mean,narnia. For years my mother and some family members were asking the same question, and it was always worse at family gatherings. We can't make these decisions based on what others would like though, can we?

I'll just give George a call and see if he is free.
hey Hammock...

yes pleasse... call him... I need him a.s.a.p...

Narnia, dont feel bad. I use to avoid my family gatherings too

laugh you gila sis,,,you should be happy to see all your family and relatives lah....tell them,,COMING SOON""..laugh hug bouquet
Who cares what "the elders" think? They are living their lives and you are living yours, do you keep asking them what they have left you in their wills?
Surely, Narnia. That's a common question to ask in some occasion if u're still single.wave
But when u already get married they never ask u : "when will get divorce?"doh confused peace
i marry u in a heart beat .. so as to keep everyone happy esp me....hug hug hug hug
hey narnia, thats strange that sumbd except ur parents asks such sort of private questionsdunnothen i'd say sumth like Viani said.mumbling laugh
Oh Narnia, just give your family a big smile and a shrug when they ask you that question...laughI know how you feel cos I have many single lady friends here who are also being pressured by the same questions from their family... teddybear
Oh narmia I still get asked that...& from residents where I work lol. They also keep telling me,"what's wrong with you, you're not getting any younger" or "I'm worried for you, if you find a guy I'd like to meet him".....lol. laugh

I just tell them.....there's nothing wrong with me I'm just patiently looking for a man who will want me for all of me. I refuse to settle for less & marry because I'm at a certain age.

And narnia they should focus on what you've accomplished not on whether you're with a man or not. If they make you feel uncomfortable than try to change the subject grin hug
{smile} It's ok, Narnia. Just enjoy your family gathering. You'll get used to the questions soon :) Keep smiling and ask them to introduce you to someone good they know. They won't ask you anymore after that. laugh

Good luck!

@Narnia As much as it's uncomfortable and irritating when they ask that question.......they ask because they love and care about you. hug
Nardia I get the same question. Its worse for me being 55. I tell them I haven't met a woman who can put up with me. I tell them I'm hard to get along with. Family start saying no your night you are very friendly and easy to get along with and lobe haveing me around. It changed the subject and started gettibg complaments.
