[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, then ask them as you do here that what do they expect you to do about any of this? Maybe they do want to set you up with someone, but don't want to push it? I find our parents generation poor communicators, as if they think we read their minds. [/quote]

I have asked them what they expect me to do about it.

Even if I met someone, they wouldn't approve of him. They've never approved of anyone I've ever dated.

The only kind of man they'd accept as my partner is Jewish, a doctor, maybe a judge, two to five years my senior, never married, no children, a homeowner, a feminist who supports me while I stay home, no tattoos, slim and healthy, maybe a few other small requirements...sigh. I couldn't find that man when I was 25 (though to be fair, that was never really my type) and I'm certainly not going to find him at 49! But they actually seem to think that the world is full of these men and act like I've done something wrong by not finding him. [b]Maybe I should ask them to find this guy for me since they're so convinced that he's out there! [/b]But I'm actually quite content with my life as it is.

I just wish they'd stop fretting, but I know they never will and it makes me sad. [/quote]

You totally should, nothing to lose.  Will keep them occupied and off your back. [/quote]
