Just tell them you found someone even though you didn’t and tell them that it’s too early for anything serious to happen.

Repeatedly highlight your failed relationships and demonstrate your inability to be in one. Works like a charm.

I think what worked in my case was that they loved at least two of my ex gfs a lot. So when they found out that my relationships don't last even with women who are perfect marriage material, they sort of gave up on me. It sounds sad but keeps them off my back.

Can we please swap our parents attitude? Mine are not bothered at all about me getting married and never bring it up. While I continue to struggle with dating women. If only, they brought up the conversation or sent me profiles, I’d be married by now! 🤦🏻‍♂️

True. But trust me, if you step up your game, dating in US is much more fulfilling. We should take advantage of the fact that our parents gave us the freedom. It makes me feel lucky knowing some of my Americans born friends are pressured into arrange marriages.

Haan just tell them you will find yourself

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed.

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?
