Blind dates

[Slooow_Jo]

I have just been informed by my mum that she is arranging for me to go on a date with a guy I haven't even met who leaves on the corner of her road LOL

Is this normal behaviour??? lol I haven't even been single 3 months & shes already trying to pack me off...I'm 31 btw

I'm also 31, and would be marginally horrified if my mum did this, but I also like to think that my mum knows me really well, and is wise and has a good judge of character. I would defo ask her lots of questions first though, to make sure she hasn't just picked some saddo!! (Mrs Noozes wrote this by the way.)

jo, she's your mum, so yes it is probably normal behavior lol go and meet the guy, can he be that bad if your mum recommends him? lol

A little odd. If my father set me up on a blind date his "ideal" woman is Celine Dion.

I would not be happy if he therefore interfered.

However, at a family Wedding a year or so back my mother assisted with the table placements and made sure I sat next to a distant cousin (no incestual connection) who was was booted out of school when she was younger for sh4gging her French teacher. My mother thought she would be an easy bet.

Needless to say she was a dog. And I found the whole mother's choice a little odd.
