Was I being rejected?

[Kase]

I have been studying Mandarin for almost a year.However I have had two instances where mother has said a big no to marrying a non-traditional non Cninese man. I feel like I am doomed. I am already sensitive about this being my last chance for a loving marriage because of my age and health. How can I address this traditional issue? She was the one who was adhering to tradition. Was I politely being blown off?

Yes. You were being politely blown off. She would not be on this site if foreign was not a possibility.
