Perfect Guy or Perfect Pride

Everyone hates blind dates, but what I think people hate more than that is being set up by your parents.

There have been a few occasions when my mother has talked about a guy but she's never actually talked to the guy. Well today is a new day!

She practically reported half of his life story to me and vice verse and now wants us to meet. Any one's who pride isn't hurt after that shouldn't be dating at all (your emotions are clearly screwed up).

The absolute worse part is listening to her talk about this guy is me thinking, "Sounds like a good one but, why couldn't we have met by chance". Is is so bad to want to meet someone because he's interested in you and not because your mother talked you up?

And when is it okay to set aside your pride and take a chance on life?
