Marriage...
I've come to the age where people around me kept asking when is my turn. I've broke up with my fiancee last year, then in January - wham BAM!! I was proposed to 3 times - by 3 diff. person of course. I don't even know 2 of them, the other one was a guy I dated for a month. My culture, if you're to get married, the guy or the girl propose and then the guys parents have to go and meet the girls parent to make it official or skip the first part and straight away the parents meeting. Thats the famous arranged marriage thing. Though anyway the pressure is hitting me off and I get so fed-up with the whole marriage stuff.
Can't they just leave me ALONE?!
Anyway just letting my steam off the marriage issue - nothing to do with Audrey Hepburn or Gackt looking like a woman LOL.

3 in a month... that's a lot. Well for me, I would have to, at least, know the girl's name before proposing to her. When you don't even know the person, how do you know you're not going to hate each other after a week. Over here, they say 50% of the newly married couple will end up with a divorce... and they choose each other.
I get the "when are you going to marry and have kids" a lot in various family reunion and stuff. The best thing to do is to just ignore them, tell them to find me a girl with unrealistic qualities or I come up with a stupid joke and try to change the subject.

My sentiments exactly. So far my answers are the same. It was "HUH?!" Though anyway I told my parents if I'm not married by 27, I'm heading for the arranged marriage
2 years of singledom woohooooo!!!

being twentysomething and not married, it'll happen...
as for me, i am approaching mid-thirties and still not married...
the relatives always ask the annoying question, "when are you getting married?", it's as IF being Married is being "whole", complete, c'mon, it's a big commitment, and it's not so simple to hook up and stay married, but it's what most of us wants.....God only knows....

In my world, love nor hate exists. I believe this is just something in your head. Argh, too hard to explain for me

And if you still don't want to get married at 27, you could always say: "Did I said 27? I meant 29."
