Matchmaker Mom
My mom just called me:"There is the most gorgeous guy at Chilis, you have to come up here right now!"
"Mom, I just ate and I don't really feel like getting out in this weather and driving 15 minutes just to see a cute guy."
"No but this guy is really cute, he's our waiter and he doesn't have a girlfriend, I asked!"
"Okay, so you asked this 20-something waiter if he has a girlfriend and now you want me to come up there and eat with you so I can meet him?"
"Yes!"
"Mom, that is embarrassing. How about I just go to Chilis some other time and maybe I'll see him?"
"Okay, come on Sunday nights, I think he works Sunday nights. Actually, just come every night! He works in the section closest to the door!"
"Wow... okay thanks mom!"
It's pretty sad when a mother is this desperate for her daughter to meet a guy...
Have your parent's ever tried to set you up with someone?

YES my mom tries to set me up all the time. I go out with them just to make her feel better, and you know mom always knows best ;)
I think she's just desperate to get me away from the losers I seem to be attracted to haha.
My mom doesn't try to set me up, but she does get way too involved in my love life.
For example:
I'm interested in a guy who is of Palestinian heritage. He grew up in the middle of Wisconsin and attends a state university for English. She calls me this morning to ask me if I know that Palestinians are Muslims and do I know that Muslims did that to the Twin Towers? I need to think about these things!
This is after the fact that I specifically told her that he doesn't practice any religion. But no, she thinks that if we end up together he's going to take me away to a Muslim community where I'll inevitably have a culture shock and won't be allowed to have any contact with my family.
Parents are funny.
lol, that sounds like that movie from a couple years ago, "because i said so."
i've been with my boyfriend for over a year, my mom knows better than to try and set me up with anyone else.
Mom's may know whats best for there child's future, but trying to find you a person to date is not part of there job. You decide that for yourself; date who you want to date, if he is a great person you can stay with him but if he is a bad person only you can decide to keep on seeing him or move on. And "mustardcat" if you feel attracted to that guy who is loser then you should date him do something that you want to do. She may be your mother an everything but is your life date who ever you want to date The point is to make your self feel good about it not making others feel good for something they don't do.
Not but they casually say stuff like, " you and so and so whould make a cute couple." Which always backfires cause it makes me run away in the other direction. hehe
My mom does the same thing. When I told her I wasn't going to be dating anytime soon, she kept telling me there are nice guys in the church I could and should meet. She doesn't say it as often like she use to, but when we get on the subject on dating and relationships she brings that up.
The only participation my parents had in my dating life was to ban me from dating, ever. They said that when the right guy came, he could ask their permission to court me, and then we'd get married.
Oh brother.
No, thankfully NO!
Yes, and my mom said the girl looks just like my sister. FML
No...my mom and I talked about cute guys, but she never was like, "you should date so-and-so's son".
My dad just wants me to marry rich. I don't care about money in a relationship. Sigh.
noo, she actually does pretty much the opposite, still not wanting me to date. i know tons of her friends that have wanted to set me up with their sons and she kindly/jokingly declines in her own way. lmao, i'm curious though, if my momma's matchmaking would work if she ever were one - i think she'd pick real well actually.
yes, and I refused although he was sweet :)
oh my god. my mom is doing the same thing except with a dentist...
LOLOL.
Nope. At least, I hope she won't.
No. My parents have never tried to set me up with someone. I'd be interested to see who'd they would recommend. It wouldn't kill you to just go check out the cute guy btw.
Hmm they have but that was only when I was younger and they only jokingly did it. :P I can definitely see myself doing that with children I might have though!
LOL. oh thank god my mom don't do that. haha
lol. hilarious. no my mom's not like that.
That's pretty funny. It has happened to me plenty of times. I did end up becoming friends with those guys as they are quite educated, good looking, and polite...something that all parents want in a son-in-law. However, there was no spark until my boyfriend came along. =)
YES..more and more frequently as I get older..undeniably so. But the best part is, they claim they've never, ever done it nor would they. Ha?
No (im a guy). I have had women/moms ask my aunts or my mom about my single status for their daughters.
I've also had my aunts try to match me up with their co-workers daughters lol
haha, yes, once. I never thought she'd be the one to do that.
no, but it seems like shes trying to do that right now.
and all the boys my age she knows arent the type im looking for...
those guys are like school school school, piano piano piano, pants that are waay too much above the ankle, very good boys, dont like to have fun, and and and they dont look very good either /:
and im like = = okay, id rahter be single...
and then i say to her, "JUST STOP, YOUR TASTE FOR BOYS FOR ME IS LIKE HORRIFYING. GOD, I HATE IT. JUST STOP. ill find my own boy."
I don't see why some people are embarrassed about it. so what if you meet someone through your parents? if he's hot, who cares how you meet him?
LOL gotta love those moms. my mom tried to set me up with this guy who designed our kitchen. "he's smart, well off, AND he's cute! get your butt downstairs NOW!" yeahh...and my prof tried to set me up with one of his previous students, who is now a lawyer LOL.
