When I was in middle school, there were 3 different girls they tried playing matchmaker with me. It didn't work because I wasn't into them, and even as a child I knew well enough to vette girls I was interested in to make sure they aren't misandrists or something. I'd rather be alone than be stuck with the wrong person.
I sometimes appreciate parents trying if their motive is to try and make their kids happy, but it's not okay if they're doing it because they want to have more power or control over them (i. e. if their kids or gay or have different values than them, and they see suitors as their little overseers)
they did, each tried and I bombed fast. I wasn't ready to date, had zero social skills, did not understand women or myself. I was not worth dating. It took a long long time to get to being decent. It had nothing to do with whom they chose.
So they threw their hands up in the air...
Yes, my mom did. For a few years actually, I was trying to force myself to like him. But I eventually realized he’s just not my type. So it’s actually a blessing that he only likes me as a friend, although I feel bad saying that because he is such a nice guy, and my mom was really hoping it would work out. But clearly, it was just never meant to be. 🤷♀️
My mom and my friends tried. It makes me mad because I’m usually already balancing too many people to even take in another stray. But there's also the fact of the people they try to get with me are nowhere near my type. I hate people who don’t listen. How much clearer do i have to be 🤣 If you’re gonna break the rules, at least break them correctly

No. My parents weren't the type to do that. However there is a lady who I knew while in college who my mom really liked and I think she was hoping that she and I would eventually become a couple. But that gal was a good friend but not my type to date.
Yeah. I think there was a couple times my dad tried to get me to talk to his friends daughters when I was younger.
He knew I was gay though lol. It was before I was out but the closet was made of glass, let’s be for real.
I think he was in denial so he was trying his hardest to get me to be with a girl. He knew damn well that wasn’t going to happen. At 13 years old I was already sucking dick, like dad be fucking for real LMAOOOO
Once, before my senior prom, my mom tried to set me up with one of her friend's daughters. Had known her before, but had no real interest in her. Even when the girl I actually interested in said no, I refused to go.
There's no way I'd let my parents set me up with someone.
My mom.. often haha a few weeks ago she came home telling me about the cute Medizin student that is working at her work for now... or we are in a restaurant and she tells the waiter that I'm single lol
When my step-dad would get drunk, he'd introduce me to his coworkers - that usually were drinking at our place when in harbor. Problem was that I was merely a teen and they fully grown ass men. Not really the best fit in the world.
Yes, my mother did set me up with a guy once and it was a okay date, but he really wasn't into me. It was a one time thing and that was fine by me.
Nope, they always trusted me to choose wisely, my brother on the other hand liked women that treated him poorly. My mom set him up on a date and he married the girl. LOL
They did.
My 1st boyfriend is the son of my parents' friends who also lived down the block where my parents live.
Not so much set up, as joking with their boss that ( and the boss also joking) how I'm gonna be the bosses son-in-law.
Nope. Wish someone would. But then again, my dad is basically a hermit and my mom lives all the way in Colorado, also as a hermit. They both stay home and barely go anywhere.
My father did it with me a few times and finally I gave in. Not the best decision of my life I believe but it has to happen 🙄
It’s common , parents do that always.
as a mom of 18 yr old, even I try this with my son
I am married (26+ years) to a woman I was set up with by my family.
Yes, they tried this once before; hopefully, they won't make the same mistake again.
That would kind of be a bamboozle to me if they ever did try.
Nope my parents said I was too ugly to ever find "love", they were right
Yes, friendzoned him :c
My teacher tried too.
no, never thank the lord
Yes, usually with rich unattractive boys.
