Discussion Has you ever asked your parents/family to set you up with anyone or have they ever tried to play match maker.

I've recently decided to bite the bullet and ask my mom to network for me and help me find someone. It's the ultimate last ditch resort and I know the likelihood of failure is high but I'm all out of options here. I wanted to know if you guys have ever been in this scenario before and if so how did it go?

Im at a point in my life where I know im incapable of having a relationship, even if it was handed to me in a silver platter

Kind of one time. My mother told me about a woman at her work but she never set anything up.

 

[Friezacel]

No and i'll never ask them because i know it would be pointless

I'm surprised with all the no's. I'd figure some people here would come from Arabic or Indian families where that shits the norm. I'm Puerto Rican so it's very uncommon for this to happen but I can really only pray at this point.

Maybe one day, I'd feel ashamed doing so and I doubt they'd be able to find anything anyways

I asked relatives closer to my age and it was clear they were uncomfortable with the idea of asking around.

After my mother died, this is not possible anymore. She had a wide social circle, always bringing us to birthday parties, her friend's homes, events... Now its all over. If she was still alive she would still take us to her friends homes where i could meet their daughters and talk to them.
This cannot be done now. This is my situation.

Seeing these girls growing up now. How they look nowadays. How i could be visiting their homes right now...

I'm trying not to freak out.
