So, my mother and her friend seem to be trying to set me up with a 27-year-old chiropractor.

...

*eyes her* I really am wondering if Mom thinks I'm a lesbian or something and is throwing the few available men she knows towards me in a desperate attempt to confirm to herself that her only daughter is heterosexual, because seriously? Twenty-seven-year-old chiropractor.

*shakes head*

I'm seriously torn between laughing my ass off and being deeply, deeply disturbed. I am leaning towards the latter though.

ETA: For those on my f-list who don't know me in RL, I'm twenty, quite straight, and haven't found a guy I want to date yet (much to my mother's dismay). *grin*

I was able to ask how old you were. *g*

Your mother belongs in an Austen novel. Seriously, though, it's sort of sad that your mother apparently can't wrap her brain around the fact that you don't need a man THIS VERY MINUTE.

*laughs* I mean, I'm sure it's because my parents' divorce is about to be finalized (after TWO YEARS of waiting because my father's a fuckwit) and she's alone at the age of 56 and whatnot and doesn't want me to end up alone and miserable, but still, a twenty-seven-year-old chiropractor?

Not only that, but can't she wait until I'm at least 25 to panic that I'm never going to find a man? ;-)

And it is funny. And sad. But mostly funny.

I suggest messing with her head and getting a female friend to kiss you on the cheek or hug real long in front of her *sniggers* But I'm mean like that.

Haha, that would be fun, but somehow I seem to befriend only people who are really, really anti-touch. Go figure. But yeah, that would be hilarious. *grin*

*snickers uncontrollably* That's hilarious. My mom was very giddy that my first real boyfriend came to our house for New Years. I'm surprised she didn't make me re-pave the driveway, that's how bad she wanted him to like us. *shakes head* Moms. They're silly.

*laughs* They are, aren't they? I mean, I know my brother's been dating since he was 17 and has had two long-term girlfriends during that time (one lasted 10 months and the other is now going on for four or five), but I'm not him. *laughs* Definitely not him.

Ooh, I can't wait to see her reaction when I finally do bring a guy home. *grin*

This is just the beginning. When you're 25, that's when all of my friends got the big push from their moms and relatives. I was 30 and had broken my engagement when my mom began suggesting people. She's never liked any of my boyfriend's, so I was very surprised, and kid of afraid... hee hee

*laughs* Well, 25 was when my mom got married (either that or 24), so I do expect a push then, definitely. *laughs* Yes, I love my mother, but, um, she works at a middle school. I'm not quite sure how she thinks she's going to find guys my age to try and shove me towards. ;-)

Hey, at least there's a guy who's 27! My mom used to work with the elderly, whose available sons were all in their 50's. When you get to be my age, a boyfriend with any sort of solid employment is a very GOOD thing, and no alimony or children he's paying for. I'd say go out, he may have a cool younger friend or brother...Good Luck. :)
