my parents havent seen me with a boyfriend since high school (im 22 now)....ive had a few "male companions" throughout college but nothing was too serious.
my little sister is constantly running around with boys and she always talks about her relationships with my parents. i have "relationships" of my own, i just dont date as much as my sister and i dont feel the need to share every detail about my life with my family/parents.
my parents seriously think im a lesbian. if i was, id be happy about the fact that theyre perfectly ok with it. should i just let them keep thinking that rather than making a big deal out of it?? im not much of the confrontational type.

Let them think what they want, if you feel you need to set the record straight (ha ha) then do it. The right person will come along and then you parents will know for sure.
In high school I had a friend that her mother thought was gay, but she wasn't, whenever she brought a girl friend over there were rules like the door has to be open and the mother can come in at any time, but if she had a guy over she could close the door and do whatever she wanted. Parents are sometimes clueless, so don't worry about it, unless you think they are telling everyone else in your family that you are a lesbian, that might make things complicated.

There is nothing wrong with being a lesbian, bi, straight, or whatever so it really doesn't matter what they think. If being called the unright (like my new word, unright, lol) label then just tell your parents you are straight. If they don't understand then that's their deal, not yours. The telling people something they don't understand or don't want to think is true is an issue many GLBTQ people have to deal with too, just the other way around. Just be yourself and be happy.

accept the fact that there is alwasy 1 child in the family that parents get weird about. looks like you got the vote. if it isnt a big issue let it rest. eventually you will meet someone to bring home to them. if they bring it up address it. if they dont let it rest. or share the details of an occasional date just to keep them happy which means they will probably pry more.

Just let it be, when the time arrives for you and your boy (I mean wedding), your parents will wake up and realize that your are not lesbian and years later you would have a joke to talk on family reunions.

It sound like your parents have a problem on their hands. Your little sister sounds like a slut and your parents approve of that kind of behaviour. Rent the movie But im a cheerleader and make them watch it. Im sure it will make them squirm

Make a sex tape with 3 or 4 other guys. Then have it "accidentally" fall into the hands of your parents. That would be pretty concrete.

I wouldn't want my family thinking I'm gay because they might communicate their thoughts to somebody else who wouldn't be so understanding. Besides that, it wouldn't be true. If you can talk to your parents about such things, go ahead and talk about it. Maybe they're worried and are actually looking for reassurance that you're straight. (I doubt anybody's parents would ever want them to be gay, if only because life is harder on that account.)

Maybe they should be happy that you're not promiscuous. You're a grown woman, if they can't except that you are not a lesbian, don't worry about it. All that really matters is that you know who you are. Don't sweat the petty sh*t, pet the sweaty sh*t! ;) Heeheehee

Don't worry about it. Since you're straight, you'll eventually meet a guy (hopefully a nice one), you'll take him to dinner with the folks, and they will sigh with relief and tell each other:"see, I told you she wasn't a lesbian... she's just picky!"

You can't live your life to satisfy your parents. You've been honest with them and if it doesn't translate for them, sadly that is their problem.
I have to think that if it REALLY didn't matter to them, they wouldn't make such a magilla out of it. But I don't know them so I won't judge.
