Match
I think its a sign of old age when your own mother starts trying to set you up with women. Either that or its a sign of desperation for me to get married or she’s not confident in my abilities to get a girlfriend (actually maybe she does have reason for the no-confidence
).
The most recent one where my aunty actually gave me a number to a girl whom I have never met or even know the name off - and both her and my mum keep pestering me to call her.
But dude, what am I supposed to say? “Hi, you don’t know me and I don’t know you; but my aunty gave me your number and told me to call you. So, wanna date?”
Thinking about it even makes me feel creeped out at myself!
Crazy thing is my mum keeps insisting that its normal and that in fact, that’s how she and my dad started dating!
I on the other hand, am adamant that this is not only old-fashioned, but will make me look pathetic and desperate - of which I am not!
What are your thoughts? An acceptable way to get a date, or a desperate and creepy way to scare people?

Just meet the bird first and if you don’t like what you see then cest la vie, never call her again.She could be HOT!!!However,you should be able to pick up your own birds without the help of your parents.Bring out your inner Don Juan.Man up.

=D Actually, I sorta have always known how concerned your parents are, because my parents have mentioned it to me before. I think your parents and my parents commiserate together. They spend way too much time together, methinks.
Haha, why not ask your aunt for more background info and maybe a pic first? =P It does reek of some desperation, I guess, but better you make the first move rather than your aunt or your mother doing it for you. -_-

Well, 1st of all I’m not gonna call her. I don’t really trust my mum’s taste in girls for me. 2nd, I agree with Nic that I SHOULD & CAN find girls on my own… I’m just going through a dry spell now
.
And here’s the kicker man…. this girl is Stephen Tiang’s sister! Wahahaha! I haven’t seen her in years so I can’t remember what she looks like. Apparently she just moved back to Kch for good.
Nic: In case you don’t know, Stephen is a good fren and my old primary sch classmate.

Dude! If it’s Stephen’s sister, go for it! This would be one of the twins, and they’re both friendly, nice girls. Plus, she’s really pretty. ^^

Erm… ok from a chick’s point of view that would be FRIGGIN freakshow-ish to have some guy you don’t know call u up with the ‘i dun know u, but lets be friends’ line… Even a guy whom u’ve been intro’d to calling u too soon ‘to be his girlfriend’ is creepy enuff…
Note to all guys: that is not on, a girl will never say yes unless she’s a Ho or desperate. Also don’t do something lame like give her a photo of the two of u (coincidentally sitting next to each other) which u’ve decorated with hearts/snowflakes/flowers framing the picture! jeez…
BUT seeing you do know her, and hopefully she knows you exist too… you could arrange for a chance meeting at a social gathering to chat her up
PS- i think u’ve got gd taste in girls. Don’t lessen ur standards (but it dun hurt to check out who ur mum picked out- even if it’s just for laughs! I’m so mean..)
