    Matchmaking ... What do I do?

    Well, I need advice here! I've been off the dating world about 4 month now...
    I visit my parents every weekend . But this time the mother surprises me with a matchmaking move.. Ignoring my plea(s) {I don't wanna...I'm not ready... I need time... I wanna be left alone now} she already invited the guy (they're trying to set me up with) over for dinner Sunday night... now what do I do? How can I probably escape this stupid situation without embarrassing everyone (the guy, my parents, their friends)... Seriously shall I escape first thing in the morning?! ... Help?!

    Just go, get a free meal. You don't have to marry the guy or anything. Maybe you'll be surprised.

    Haha. Just remember they are probably not doing it to embarrass you...probably doing it because they think it will make you happy. Whatever their reasons are, just go and try to enjoy it as best you can. I'm sure they will be embarrassing at some point, but just try to keep it cool and keep your mind open. Who knows, maybe this dude will be the man of your dreams? And if so, at least you got the awkwardness of meeting your parents out of the way!

    Why so dramatic? It's just dinner, and I take it you are single? Why are you acting like the sky is falling?
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    Because mom and dad should probably mind their own businesses ... I'm visiting this stupid house of lunatics every weekend so I could get to spend some quality time with my sister .... I don't wanna be set up for a blind date....

    You should probably try to adopt a better sense of humor. This poor man would be mortified to know you were so whiny about this.

    It's just dinner. You are not obligated to marry him.

    Go for it! What have you got to lose?
    If you carry old bricks from your past relationship to your new one,
    you will build the same house that fell apart before.

    When was the last time you did something for the first time?

    Overdramatic much?

    Your life in incredibly tame compared to most people. Yet you think everything is a huge disaster.

    Relax a little.

    It's the parents house
    she (mom) invited a guy over for dinner sunday night along with a friend ... but the main topic was setting me up with him for a date.
    I visit them every weekend ... but she turned my visit into a blind date.... sorry if I sounded like a whinny bitch
