do your parents still ask you if you've found anyone yet? Does your family question you lifestyle?

What about kids - those adults that just can't imagine their parents "dating" much less having sex?

How do handle these situations?

My Mom just wants to know what I ate today: I'm always "too skinny." Food takes care of everything else.

My parents try playing match maker. I tell them I'm old enough to make my own decisions.

Not sure how my sons would react. I don't discuss things with them until I feel there is a serious relationship going on.

My daughters, 19 & 20, are involved in any relationship I might even be THINKING about! They gotta look out for Dad.

I have sons, 24 & 26. They both have a good head on their shoulders. If I had daughters I would be one of those overly protective fathers.

Mom and Dad are gone and brothers could careless.
Daughter is to busy with her life to notice.
So that only leaves me....and I don't question myself about not dating or if I meet someone. I'm just ok with it.

I figure I'm old enough and hopefully wise enough to make sound decisions so hopefully no one will ever question me.

I don't tell them a damn thing, I figure the kids didn’t tell me everything when they were teenagers so now it's my turn

Mom doesn't ask. She told me I was bad as my sister, Dora. I have five sisters and Dora is one of them. Since Mom makes it on her own she thought it was unnecessary for me to have a mate. I think Mom sees it as a sign of weakness. I think the rest of my family could care less about my welfare. Just a personal opinion, I could be wrong. My daughter thinks it better that I stay by myself. My step daughter thought it would be dissing her mother if I had a date. My daughter has a boyfriend and my step daughter does, too. I think my Mom would be happy if she was the only person on earth. I don't think I will ever be as self reliant as my Mom. My sister, Dora is married. My Mom thinks I am better off than my sister, Dora. She can't stand my sister, Dora's mate. I think that might have something to do with it.

I just wish that I had the parents to do the asking

My kids who are 16 and 14 want me to meet a man. they say I deserve to meet someone but they no meeting men my age is rare.

Good luck finding that special someone.

To all who use the forum.....

Thankyou for your welcomes....

1. No, to both of the first two questions. She waits for me to mention it first and has done that through my adult life. She is happy I have found someone special.

I do not have children.

No kids, no parents, no worries, no explanations to anybody but myself.

Being the "blacksheep" of my family, I am only contacted for the "dirty jobs" or when they need money for mom. Dad died 2 years before Gwen.
Dad & I got along great, after his heart operation.

Kids know, dad will do what dad wants.
I chose to remain single for reasons I have stated in other threads.
Besides this way, I can flirt with ALL the ladies; much more fun this way.

My family is in the don't ask don't tell category. I just don't rub their nose in it.

Parents both deceased. Kids are 30 and 32, married and have their own children, think their dad should definitely be hooked up with someone, but think I should make it fine on my own. They have never liked anyone I have dated. So, I don't talk to them about it.

Well my parents are both gone so I don't have to worry about questions.
I don't have any kids.
And the rest of my family could care less about me or my lifestyle --I'm the rebel and blacksheep.
