I think women face this problem more so than men, and I'm not talking about the having children part, because I haven't told my parents I'm asexual, but I have always been very vocal about my not wanting to have kids, so in that regards, there is very little discussion.
What I meant was that,I feel that as a female, my dad, moreso that my mom worry about my future if I remain single. I think it's just a society thing where women need protection.
I don't know if or when I'll tell them, but at least make your stance on children clear, even if you don't want to breach the asexuality one yet.

My parents and most people that know me well know my stance on childbearing, and know is something I am staunchly not interested in and leave me alone about it.

I do play around with the idea of "If I ever get married..." followed by a "Most likely never gonna happen..." to which my mom kindly replies that "I'll get my chance...", but it's all in a playful matter, I haven't completely shut down that notion, but at the same time it's not something I am actively pursuing either.
All in all, hope everything works out.

thanks for the advice I'll try putting it out there, but maybe I'll wait till after Christmas since this will be the first one where my siblings and I won't be taking dates... well same old same old for me but it's been a while since both my brothers were single this time of year.
