Parents Push Me to Blind Date

I am 25 years old. I don't think it's an age to worry about marriage. But my parents think different way. They are so anxious about my love affairs. I've never been in love with someone and kept single for 25 years. My parents arranged four times of blind date for me in last Spring festival, and all those boys were not my cup of tea. I was so angry about their arrangement, so I broke into a quarrel with them at Spring festival night. Right at that night, I ordered a ticket to back to company.

I told them I will not come back home if I cannot find a boyfriend.

7 months past, I didn't give a call to my mom, I know she must be hurt by my words, and she must be very sad during these months. But I just can't persuade myself to call her back. 

Sometimes I am thinking, it is better to keep single for the rest of my life. Fuck all those 七大姑八大姨. get away from my life.

But, it is just an angry word. how can I get away from my home. I miss home. But I just don't want to go home when I am single and poor. 

Do you have the same feeling ???

Parents — can’t live with them, can’t be born without them ;)

Carol, you may feel you’re 25 and have time, but let me tell you something as an old man...LOL!  Time, waits for nobody.

Your parents may feel you need someone in your life. Your parents will have serious concerns and that’s why, rightly or wrongly, they have tried to set you up.

So Carol, call your parents today because they are the ones that will have your best interests at heart. Do it, before you have regrets.

I was born in a poor village and people here usually get married pretty soon. However my parents did not force me to a blind date at my age of 25. I was really grateful to them for that. Year by year, things change a lot when you are same with my age of 30 now. My parents and even my neighbours worried about my single status so they tried to introduce me some of their acquaintances. No one of that cases worked out. Sometimes I was scolded because I did not contact to them after the blind date. I just did not want to waste my time and their time as well. This is really personal things. At first I was very angry with my parents when they want me to meet some one introduced. Then I tried to tell them that I was mature enough to be responsible for my own life and that I would rather get married late than marry wrong person. Don't let it be the reason which ruins your good relationship with your parents. It's my best friend's advice.

A love affair is when a married person commits adultery. Perhaps you may use dating life instead.

Hi Carol, I'm sorry for have heard this. Sometimes the things that hurt us more come from the people that supposed to be our support. This situation might hurt you a lot but try thinking in another point of view, If they have committed this attitude it might be because in some way is what they believe that would be good for you, but you know most than everyone that it's hurting you, so, be confident in your goals. They might not understand your point of view but share to them how you are feeling about it and tell them they cannot decide for you,  but at the same time try to forgive them it's the only way you can heal this feeling that is hurting you. Forgiveness is the key. I hope you can have better days, and if for some reason this text doesn't help you, my apologies anticipatedly.
