How do you convince an overanxious mother that-
a) you are not ready to get married now, nor will you be in a couple years' (or more) time.
b) that you do not want her to find you a husband.
c) in the very event that you do not find anyone you want to marry (and even more impossibly, wants to marry you), she should be able to deal with it.
Is it just me, or does the idea of spending your entire life with one person give you the heebie-jeebies?

It is quite clear that only guys read this blog(maybe the women who read this blog never comment?) So, this is a post that's completely lost on us(the male readership). Give me threesomes, catfights and women who pee backwards any day!!
tell her you're unsure about whether you're gay or not.
so, (assuming overanxious mother would rather have straight than gay daughter) she'd be so relieved when you, in..oh, let's say.. 5 years time, come to the empirical conclusion that you're not (if you're not), she wouldn't be bothered about marriage for a few years yet, not wanting to push her luck.
or get you hitched immediately in case you change your mind. :P
jjtb: Oh well. My supply of such stories isn't endless, unfortunately.
bobo: Won't work. She'll catch the next flight here drag me back to india by scruff of neck. And get me hitched to first available man. Sigh.
Empirical conclusion. I like that :)
Although I (and a fair number of my female friends) wish that we were gay. We could have married each other and lived happily ever after. It's legal in Massachusetts, even.
I have the following outrageous suggestion:
Go look for a big time gay guy [who u can tolerate a little bit & who is compliant with all of ur mom's specifications ] and pull him along to ur mom for approval.
He can then continue being gay and u [and the rest of ur misandrous chums] continue being lesbian / bi / threesome / foursome / anything at all - while for all practical purposes - ur both married :)
fake your death. move to St. Andrews or Cancun.
abhilash: Would work, except for the rate-limiting step of actually finding this person. Don't have to marry him, just introducing to mother will buy time.
bobo: Heh. Things haven't quite reached that stage yet.
