Totally agree

Oh come on guys...Is this really such a big deal?
We all have to entertain people we may not like.
Go to dinner, be charming, have fun..and If you don't want another date, don't call her.

Yah and a free Meal.

papasmerf always sees the bright side!
I was actualy thinking a 6 way but with mom and dad there that would be uncomcortable.:eek:
 
I personally wouldn't be able to fuction in that environment and can't imagine anyone who could.

Cancel the date, get her number, ask her out.......BE A MAN!!!!

The way normal people do it. :D
 
Why not just talk to your parents about it? Tell them you appreciate their concern, but to leave you the fark alone. Be more tactful than that, but you get the idea. If they still won't leave you alone, then yell, scream, and threaten to get outside, professional help (i.e. shrinks and cops). Hopefully, it won't go to that extreme.
 
Meh. Look at is an opportunity. The first time my parents did this, I was anxious too. She was pretty good looking too. Little do my parents know, I'm don't really want to settle down, so I went with it. Bring the fish to the fisherman. After a while they 'recruited' my friends and their friends, etc...I get set up all the time now. It's like a game to some to try to get me hooked. The more I don't get hooked the more determined people get and I have to say the more gorgeous the prospects get too. It's win-win. I don't have to go out fishing. Plus in a couple cases, I made some really good friends/good looking fuck-friends. Now it's a domino effect as some of my setups are trying to set me up. It's all good in the end.
 
Go for it.
She is probably in the same boat with even more pressure from her parents, you already have something to talk about.
Even if there isn't an attraction, you never know if she might have a nice friend that is looking for someone like you.
 
I know the feeling.

It appears that my folks, concerned about my being single, has taken it upon themselves to set me up with a friends daughter. I have met her before, about 8 years ago. Our families are going out to dinner this weekend in an attempt to hook me up. :(

What should a guy do? I will be the first to admit that I'm nothing to write home about, and add to the pressure of BOTH families there watching me with a microscope. Not to mention that my last set up was a unmitigated disaster. Someone put me out of my misery.

I hate when families and relatives try to hook me up with someone I don't know. My aunt has this habit of always trying to set me up, and every-time that happens I'm already seeing someone. First of all I really don't tell anyone in my family or relatives who and if I'm seeing someone. They are all ways on my case is she the one your going to marry etc. I've heard this all the time. Second I've had a couple of girlfriends in the past, so it's not hard for me to find someone to have a relationship with. Third I really don't like blind dates (not saying blind dates don't work out) thats something I'm not comfortable with. Everyone has their preferences. The way i see it if your not comfortable with it, then just don't go since you mention that your last encounter was a disaster, but things can change if you do go. Hey you never know this time it might be a different outcome and may work out. So don't dread your self on this situation just do what's best for you, best of luck.
 
Dude just do what comes natural.
That's all I can say.
If it works out, then it's great right?
If it doesn't, then maybe your parents will learn not to fuck with your personal life. :)
 
Even undesireable girls have attractive friends. This girl is already in good with your family. You have a chance to broaden your social horizons. If you already have something better to do then go do it. If not then take part and enjoy yourself.
 
Take her out and enjoy

What's to lose? If she is a troll......so what. If u click then bang her.
 
Sorry just had to interject here.... JO that is a great handle. :D

But yeah I'm in agreement. Give it a chance, meet her one on one. And come to think of it. Going in with a nonchalant attitude will probably make the evening go smoother.
 
Where is the...
