Awkward conversations with english pals
I have found a lot of friends on Italki curiously the majority are from Europe and Asia just a couple from united states (I'm from Colombia)...
Since the last week I have been talking with my english pals more often because I got a free time from my job. On my conversations I have found a pattern, Each time I said I'm 28, the second question was "How many children do you have?" or "are you married?" my answer each time was the same "I'm going to be single for ever" after that I felt people angry or awkward about me. I really didn't understand what happened because my english pals are around my age. I think this life choice is fine even sensible...
Now I prefer to keep the topic of children or marriage out of the table just because my goal is to find friends and not get into controversy.
