Mama’s Little Psychic

The world will never know . . .

It’s bad enough when someone says that after the first date. It’s worse when they say it before meeting you.

Yikes, good call. Desperate loser alert…

I loved an Alonzo once. He was very handsome.

Like creepy mom like creepy son.

I feel sorry for the girl this guy does eventually marry. Ugh.

…And since I’m at work and bored out of my skull, I will posit a theory for the OP: it’s more likely the mom never spoke to you again because you forced her to face the fact that her son is a loser to the nth degree and for that she could never look you in the face again, for the shame and humiliation of raising a such a punk.

It could very well have been the guy being a creepster, but I imagine the scenario differently.

Mom says, “Son, there’s this woman I work with that you really need to go out with, she’s perfect for you.” Son says, “I don’t know Mom, isn’t it weird for you to be setting me up on a blind date?” Mom says, “You’ll never know until you meet her. Who knows, she could be your future wife!” And Son says, “You know what…you’re right. I’ll go.” Mom then tells everyone that her son thinks the two of them are destined to marry.

I have known enough crazy moms to think that this is the more likely scenario, but hey…then there are the guys who “whip it out” and I can never seem to understand why, so what do I know.

I think Lalli hit the nail on the head.

If this was his behavior *before* the date, I shudder at what he might have been like *on* the date!

Yeah, I’m getting the feeling this story is missing relevant bits, like in Lalli’s scenario. Even if it’s not, OP’s reaction seems over the top and unecessarily rude. Why say, “There’s NO WAY I could EVER meet up with you!” when a simple, “Hey, I think we’re coming from different places and I’m not going to make it. Best of luck in your search, yadda yadda” would do? Why be such a heart-crushing drama queen?

These are my condolences that never happened.

It might have just been the mom, but I would never go on a date my mom set up.

I don’t think she over-reacted, I think she dodged a bullet or two – the dude and his mother.

this aint a story what’s it doing here? the only worst part about is she never went out with the guy to see if there was a connection or not she just went by what the guy’s mom said she went by that and never gave the guy a chance to see if he would make it or break it so therefore this story shouldn’t even be here

My Very Worst Psychic Reading

I’m feelin’ Lalli on this one…especially with a passages like, “I wonder if she only talked to me because she thought I was going to be a daughter-in-law?!”

Really???

-filler-

Yes, she dodged a bullet. Men wanting to marry you before you meet? Buy a bride from Russia then.

I’m with Lalli on this one too. My mother has a special way of interpreting our conversations. I’ll hear her telling someone something I said, when in fact, it’s actually something she said to me and I didn’t disagree, or responded with a “maybe” or “I don’t know” or something equally non-committal. She takes those conversations, runs them through her memory a few times, and they come out on the other end with me making the statements to her. It can be frustrating.

I don’t know why you’d ever agree to date the son of a co-worker in the first place. I can’t think of any scenario where that would work out well for you. It’s not rude to politely decline the opportunity to date someone’s relative. Trust me I know, as I had a co-worker who carried a gun and wanted me to date his daughter. While flattered, I decided I was less likely to get shot by respectfully demurring. And I’m still here to tell the tale.

Why would you ever agree to meet somebody just because their mother/friend/cat wants you to date them?

If I ever dated, I’d sure as hell not let other people hand-pick someone for me THEY think good. Luckily, I managed to avoid dating completely, I hate to know that people are interested in a relationship with me before I’m interested myself ^^
