I am sure many of you single gals and guys can commiserate, you go over to your parent's house for dinner and somewhere between your first bite and dessert your mom will say, "so are you seeing anyone? You should think about getting a boy/girlfriend" Like it is some sort of choice and there are potential husbands and wives just wandering down the street for the taking. My parents have stopped asking me directly after I would alternate between telling them that no one wants me and that I was growing to grow old and have lots of cats. Now they just ask my brothers and sisters for intel. I came across this link about a mom who started a website so that moms, aunts, cousins, or any nosey family member can put up an online profile extolling the virtues of the poor single soul. I find it hilarious yet strangely weird that in this tech savy world that our moms have resorted to new ways of trying to set us up. However, instead of the meet my hairdresser's sister's son, you now have your mom going online to find you a mate. This is one of the few times that I am glad that my mom is not web savy, or else you would be certain to find a posting stating something like: Marry my daughter, she is a bit older but only because she has gone to graduate school and was focused on her career. She is neat and tidy, she cleans, her cooking is not so great but I can teach her. She loves kids and will make a gret wife.
