How do i answer my relatives without sounding offended or ashamed when they ask me questions like this :
Do you have a boyfriend?
When are you gonna get married??
And all sort of questions related to boyfriends and marriage.
I’m asking this cos, tomorrow’s gonna be one of my sibling’s wedding and I’m still single and 21. Most of my cousins are in relationships now or so and I’m not desperate for a guy but it’s so annoying when relatives keep asking me annoying questions!

You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
answer them “when people stop asking me that’s when.”

jimmys has class but its not really what your looking for i recommend the subtle admission of homicidal tendencies as in: “i keep trying to get married, but it never works out and i get left bleaching blood stains out of the furniture”
i think they will look at me as if i’m crazy. they don’t really have humor like that. lol
Say, “No, I don’t. When I do. I’m happy with my life as it is.” At 21 you’re still living. Most people your age aren’t even close to being old enough or mature enough to be married.
yeah i agree Laina! I think 21 is just the beginning. And well, honestly I’m also afraid that I’ll end up being a spinster. :(

i thought he/she wanted to report me to the moderator..i m just showing the way..
um there;s no thumbs down icon. i only see a red flag. i already reported. how long does it need to take action?
A. It wasn’t you.
B. There’s no thumbs down icon, it’s a red flag that you use to report someone. Thumbs are in Yahoo answers.

My husband always has a good line for people asking personal questions. He says, “you know that song, ‘Behind Closed Doors’, yeah… that’s one of my favorite songs.” and then he walks away. It’s a line from a movie, but it’s worked every time. People stop asking then.
