Today, I've been single for so long my grandmother had to ask if I actually like women or not. FML

The last to know
Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML
Love is Hell
Today, I’ve been single for so long that my mom’s friends ask her if I’m a lesbian, all because I’m 35 and not married yet. Truth is, my last relationship fucked me up so bad that the thought of falling in love with someone again makes me physically ill. FML
You can't hurry love
Today, my grandma wasn't feeling well, so I went to her house to check on her. After about 20 minutes, I knew she was feeling better when she looked at me and said, "So, do you have a boyfriend yet? I pray every night that I get to live long enough to see you with a boyfriend." FML
Today, I finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to get a man. FML
Relationship specialist
Today, I attended a family reunion, during which my grandma gave me "relationship advice" in front of everyone. She's been married five times, and her longest marriage lasted a whole 6 months. FML
Loveless
Today, my grandma called me to tell me that a couple of cute boys stopped by her house to borrow something. She told them all about me, and that I would be interested in them. My love life is so pathetic, even my grandmother is trying to hook me up. FML
Assumptions…
Today, my sister gently asked me if I was gay. Turns out I've been without a boyfriend for so long that the whole family believes I secretly have a girlfriend. FML
Today, my grandma got a new boyfriend. She dumped the old one because "His wife was taking too long to die." FML
Today, my grandmother introduced me to her friends as her 16-year-old granddaughter "who has never been kissed." FML
Under pressure
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML

She didn't have to ask anything. Gay people have relationships too, you being single has nothing to do with your sexual oriwntation. Just sounds nosey to me, that's not really a necessary question

You should be like, "No, Grandma. I love cats. Their love is all I will ever need. And they won't get jealous when I bring more cats home." In utter seriousness.

Yikes. That's a signal to get into the game. If your grandma has to point that out/ ask you, then dang man. Or you can just tell her that "I'm not wanting a girlfriend now and rather work on doing something else."

Everyone goes through phases where they're single for extended periods of time though. Hopefully OP's grandmother can be a little more understanding to him in the future.

It's not a game. You aren't Mario going head over Koopas to get a princess. But yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe he isn't trying at all.

Not being kinda "I told you so Ichabod" but that's where the 2nd part of my comment comes in. :(

Emphasis on the ISN'T. Sorry. I was agreeing with that part.

Oops, replying to the guy that commented on my comment first. Yours is completely valid.

Say, what's so bad about being single anyway? Lasting love is rarely born from desperation, and "Getting into the game" isn't needed to lead a satisfying life. Grandma is just being silly.

I don't think OP's gay, or else his FML would sound like regret/ embarrassment where he never told his grandma that he's gay.
EpicSquishii 21
I didn't say he was, I didn't think he was. I think him being single for awhile shouldn't prompt his grandma to ask what hole he prefers diddling
cr3ativity 15
Then why add that 2nd sentence to your comment? Not trying to be homophobic, but OP being "gay", is somewhat of a jump in logic from being single for so long.

I think she was just trying to say that just because he is not bringing any women home does not mean he should be asked about his sexuality. If he was gay and not dating anyone, it would still be rude if grandma asked if he didn't like men anymore. Either way, he needs to tell grandma that it will happen when it happens.

She might suspect that he's dating men in secret or that he's afraid of coming out so he'd rather date no one than date men and be outed.
EpicSquishii 21
What do you mean "why add" my second sentence? My point was she didn't have a reason to ask based solely on his singleness. You completely missed the point. Twice.

Maybe he's asexual.

It might depend on the region. Some don't have lots of gay/out-of-the-closet people or they just aren't accepted.

Grandma's are nosey like that, don't let it bring you down :-)

And they have a right to be; they've already been successful in keeping their evolutionary chain alive. It's only natural that they worry about their predecessors.

Them feels OP..

#28 You mean her *successors*? Predecessors would mean the grandma's parents and ancestors. Also, it really is none of her business whether or not OP chooses to continue the family line or chooses to date anyone at all. She chose to continue it, OP can choose not too. It's OP's life, not his grandma's. Sorry that it sounds mean, but it's true.

He might be content being single. Or maybe he is messing around with people and not in a monogamous relationship. I don't think it's grandma's business and she shouldn't have just assumed he was gay.

Wow, original

Unless you're gay.

It's always the grandmas making the OPs feel bad about their dating lives...

Why does everyone seem to assume that if you don't appear to be making an effort to pursue a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, then you must be gay? Pisses me right the **** off.

Not everyone. The list of possibilities includes at least asexuality and autosexuality, too. Then, you can start adding the fetishes like dead people and animals, etc. I've never believed that an unsuccessful heterosexual would automatically do well as a homosexual. I don't think gay people like losers either.

Well do you? You never did answer the question.

Don't worry dude, you'll meet the right person, and when you do, it'll hit you like a train (in the best possible way). Believe me, I'm speaking from experience here :)
