Your dad comes up to you and...

[Cirquel]

...tells you that his friend wants you to meet his son. Your dad doesn't know anything about him. Your first reaction is (?):

[alli]

"You got a picture?"

[Cognitive_Canine]

Sure, I'll meet him.

[Nixee]

My FIRST reaction is to ask what "meet" means? Like... introduction? Full on date? What is the assumption here?

 

I don't see any harm in an introduction... I think it is good to be open to meeting new people. If things don't work out, they don't work out. If they do, great! Or maybe you end up with a new friend/contact... who knows.

[Cirquel]

"You got a picture?"

 

And he says he doesn't. And doesn't tell you anything about what he looks like.

 

*is hating her parents right now*

Go meet him - this might be the guy you spend the rest of your life with.

[alli]

Tell your dad to tell his friend to send you 3-4 pictures of him. Then you will consider it.

 

And I say 3-4 because people can often have 1 picture that inaccurately portrays how they actually look. 3 or 4 & you will have a good idea of what he looks like.

Beh. The son called our number last night... so now I have to call him back. I have no idea what to say... I don't know ANYTHING about him.

But see... at 22, that's not exactly what I have in my mind right now!!!!!!

What's wrong with 22?

[g84]

Well i would probably feel shy and a bit uncomfortable at first, but who knows? I don't think there would be any harm in you meeting with him; maybe you could be friends, or more than this. I would say there's no harm in accepting to meet him one time

[Mutley]

You know, when I was younger...my mom would try to set me up with women. I would get irritated.

 

At times, in my single moments, I miss that.

 

You might want to at least see what's under the rock.

 

(as in leave no stone unturned)

Since when is a meeting, or even a phone conversation to arrange a meeting, the set up for the rest of your life?

 

I think maybe you are putting too much weight on this... maybe just because of the connection he has with your family?

 

If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. You don't have to force yourself to like him, but you don't have to force yourself to hate him either.

[jul-els]

That's a bummer. Just grin and bare it. It'll be over soon enough.

[WendyO]

Butt out, Dad.

[Scorpion Fury]

LOL. My Dad wasn't into playing matchmaker. I doubt he would have told me he wanted me to meet a guy he knew nothing about

[Bkoguy07]

My dads not into matchmaking either, he's always cleaning the gun when my sister brings home guys lol
