I always feel awkward when older men lecture me on women....

[noigel]

And marriage. Like, "Oh you're such a nice young man, you're gonna have girls all over you and you're gonna meet a great women and have a nice marriage"
And I'm just like:
neutral
Little do they know... I wonder how they would react if they found out the truth.

Have you ever been in these situations in or out of the closet? How did you feel or react?  

[Sin Error]

Yes and it sucks, I just smile and try to cut off the conversation as soon as possible. I get a little pissed though, why the ******** does asume I'm straight???  

[Esiris]

I'm always tempted to introduce them to Annette and Rosie and explain polyamory- but I never would.

im only bi and am already married to a man. but my grandmother keeps telling me where to find nice men for when my marraige falls apart rofl she seems to think that since she has had an "interesting" love life and men are disposable that i will follow in her footsteps  

[Terra Heighman]

I totally relate....my family's very religious (for the most part) so me coming out to them will only be an option when I live a few states over or so and am financially independent. :-/

I can understand your problem. I seem to talk to distant family members or older people who say I will be such a great husband to a fine woman one day. Of couse I'll be a fine husband for my man though >.>  

[Purple Robot Queen]

I usually just say something like "yeah, I don't think that's going to be an issue" and move on to a different topic.

Generally, it all makes me happy that my parent's aren't expecting grandchildren one way or the other, since I ******** hate kids and I don't really want a family no matter what gender my partner.  

[loonaboots]

i hate it when this happens, but it's more along the lines of people assuming that i want to marry someone and all that- mainly because they'll start to talk about having children, and then it will dissolve into some awkward sex ed thing.

seriously.

this has happened at least three times.

but really, the whole "marry a nice boy" thing just gets on my nerves because
a.) yes, i am panromantic, but really, i'm more romantically (and aesthetically) attracted to girls more than boys or people who are outside the gender binary.
b.) despite the fact i do experience romantic attraction, i have no interest in dating. at all.

and then there's the whole dissolving into an awkward you're-not-the-health teacher-or-my-parents-why-are-you-doing-this "sex ed" discussion. which mainly revolves around the person to tell me to save myself for marriage or crap like that (this is around the time when i try not to crack up or blush crazily- often both). and really, that's the part that ticks me off more than anything- people assume everybody at some point want sex! that, and they have the nerve to go around and try to lecture people on how they should and shouldn't act sexually.

so basically, where i live those conversations are one of the most awkward and embarrassing things around.
