Thanks, but no thanks

Today, I held the door for an elderly woman. As she walked through, she looked at me and told me I was a very handsome man and that I should meet her grandson. The woman was my grandmother, and yes, I'm straight. FML

That's actually incredibly sweet. She called you handsome and was scouting out a partner for you.

Well sometimes you just have to take things that old people say with a grain of salt. She is probably just old and senile.

I'm sorry, OP. It sounds like your grandmother has some form of dementia. And that really sucks.

Lol she prolly was joking in her elderly ways. My grandma does that. And it seems like it's like she really doesn't recognize me!

Rather than take offense at the fact she apparently thinks you might be gay, be happy that even in her old age when she is obviously starting to lose memory and awareness, she still thinks you're a handsome man and wants the best for you, and obviously loves and accepts you whether you're gay or straight. There are a lot of people out there who would give anything to have that.

Maybe she is trying to set you up with one of your cousins?
