My grandma keeps talking about me getting a girlfriend.

First let me say my grandma is a wonderful person who took in my mom,sister,and I when my mom left my dad. I am very close to her but have not told her that I am gay(I don't know if I ever will). It really started about a month ago when my cousin Justin came over with his new gf. Now she keeps telling me that I should find a good girl and have baby's(she had six kids).

1. Its good to hear that she's a wonderful person, cch.

I guess this will annoy you, and all I can say is, 'Chin Up!'

2. That's a tuff one. It reminds me of "The Wedding Banquet". I'm

in a similar situation as a lesbian but it's not family (they all know) people at work who ask questions. I totally get your feelings about maybe never telling her. At this point, why? I know it's cheesey but maybe you could come up with a friend (girl) who would be willing to be a token....but then you've got the issue of you're grandma wanting you to get married and have a baby....Yikes. I really wish I had some answers/ideas. I wish you the best of luck :-)

3. The answer, of course

Is "I couldn't find a girl half as nice as you, Granny". She's old, and you're probably not going to change her. If she already has grand/great grand kids, you're off the hook. Whew.
