Mom wants to set me up with someone at her work...but i am a bit skeptical

[Brady_to_Moss]

My mom has a new girl working at her job. She said today that she wanted to set me up with her. But i really am not feeling it. This girl goes to a big party school in the area and i really dont think i could deal with someone being far away and having to worry about every little thing she does. Even though i do need to get out and find a girl, i just dont feel as if i need to at this point in my life even though i have never had a GF before.

 

Have you had any luck with blind dates?

Even when I was desperate, that would've been

my mom tried settiing me up with this nurse she worked with. but i turned it down because she was from the philipines like my mother. i dont want them plotting agaist me. like my mom has tried with all my white girlfreinds

Mom talking to moms are one thing. Mom's trying to hook their sons up... nah... just to much drama at your mom's work and you have to deal with stuff at home too.

 

No thanks, to much drama.

Dude, who knows you better than your mother? I say go for it. It's hard to meet people these days. Worst case scenario, you have a bad date. Don't risk missing out on a good opportunity!

 

And you can probably play off the whole 'mother setting you up' as a joke from the beginning to make it less awkward.

 

Maybe you could facebook her? That might be a good first step!

[refurb]

Wow! Way to talk yourself out of it.

 

I've been setup a few times and its never worked out, but why not just give it a go? You never know.

Letting your mom set you up is a ticket to disaster.

 

Then again, you might like the girl. LOL

I think just take a shot! It's time to take a shot at losing your virginity! Then you can THANK your MOM.

My mother set me up with a date from a lady at her beauty shop. The date was so/so but my mother got a full report. It can work but remember this, the lady will have access to the best source of information about you a woman could want.

Go out and have fun with the girl.

 

Don't make a big fuss out of it, just enjoy it and see where it goes.

I've been on 2 blind dates in my life and neither worked out because I didn't find the women attractive. I wouldn't trust my mother to set me up with anyone.

[MN randomguy]

Depends on your mom. My mom wants me to wind-up with someone that she feels sorry for. So, there's no way I'd ever go out with someone she wanted for me.

 

If you agree with your mom's opinion of who she wants to have as a daughter-in-law, and if your mom is able to say, so-and-so thi is Brady, Brady, So-and-so, then butt out then yes. If your mom is the least bit manipulative or a gossip, then no.

 

Could be this girl be going to the party school because of affordability/course offerings. Then, she can't find the type of guy she's looking for?

 

Either way, your mom needs to understand that she is introducing you, not "setting you up"

[Love_Listener]

Its a risk but one worth taking. On one hand she could turn out to be really gross (or just totally lack chemistry if your not shallow about looks)

However, on the other hand she could be a knockout in which case you've forced her to pay attention to you were as normally she might just ignore you. Just make sure your mother knows that your just going to want to get to know her and not to be offended if you decide you don't like the girl.

 

Good Luck!
