Sorry ur mama is frustrating u. If there is one frustrating question is, why don't u get married as if u should propose yourself. Are you now Mr Bean sending a Christmas present to self? 😁Are u now supposed to knock in guys dom rooms and propose to them? I seriously hate that question. Do u know how many failed marriages due to this pressure? Do u know how many separations due to this pressure? Do u know how many children with single parents due to this question? Never pressure urself. Marriage built on pressure has never succeeded, even well meaning people fail at marriage, how much more pressured marriages? I am so sorry for u girl. Tell ur mama to let u be until a well meaning man comes along and let her know she does not need to pressure u. Put ur foot down before u die of BP.

Hello Pandaaa. How are you ? I’m from Asia, I know this is a common concern for Asian parents. For non-Asians this can be quite surprising :-). What kind of solution are you looking for ?

Do you just want her to stop asking ?

Or do you feel like you want to find a boyfriend and get married (hope this does not offend you, in Asia it is quite common for girls to want to get married. Don’t know how you feel about it).

Hi pandaaa, you can’t control the behaviors & actions of others, only your response. If you know your mother will ask this question, you can be prepared with a rehearsed answer. Above all, it’s never a bad idea to remain calm. Don’t let her have the power to upset you. Keep it short & sweet. You don’t owe her a lengthy explanation. Good luck.
