Pimped out by Grandma

Nov 23, 2006 12:00

I called my Grandma to ask her about how to cook a turkey. Then she dropps the bomb. She showed some guy my picture and want's me to "correspond" with him. Am I that pathetic? She kept insisting, "But he's in the Military" yes Grandma, THAT is the most important thing....NOT! I finially told her that I would "think about it". I know yesterday I ( Read more... )

That would have been way cool if my grandma tried to hook me up with people when she was around. It probably wouldn't have worked, but it would have been cool.
you aren't pathetic!
I can see why your grandma's stetching the point about him being in the military though. Those guys, depending on what they're DOING in the military, make good money. Money = security for her granddaughter and great-granddaughter. Think like an old person. It'll make sense.
Speaking from experience, I will say that dating a military man is hardly dating. It's really hard, frustrating, and on-going, and it has to be damn worth it to you, or it won't last. Just some stuff to keep in mind. I'm crazy about Abbi, and was with him before he went into the military, and it's still way hard for me.
*Hugs* She means well =)

Yeah, maybe, but my grandma has the wrong intentions, not the right ones. She doesn't care about me finding someone I love or that makes me happy, she cares about me finding someone with money. In her world money=love. That's not the way my world works. Turns out she's never even met the guy. Her husband's grandaughter's boyfriend is friends with the guy. This grandaughter is natorious for picking the abusive men. My grandmother sent my picture and my daughter's picture to a stranger, and that pisses me off. Espically the part aobut my daughter's picture. That is a safety issue in my mind, and I am beoynd livid. Besides, I like someone else.

Well, that's way creepy. However, it's probably not a safety issue. If this man is in the military, he will have no way/time to think much about his friend, or old women, sending him pictures of strangers and their babies. He might like someone else too.
I know you're concerned, but he will probably blow it off.
Maybe tell your grandma that you appriciate her efforts, but you don't want to be dating people right now. If she blows that off, tell her you're a lesbian? That might make her leave you alone.
Whatever to make it work for you hon. Good luck, and I love you!
