C.S.: What about the boys is weird? I think most people have problems dealing with their parents regarding shidduchim. It’s supposed to be so easy for boys to get dates, yet my parents have been trying to get me to go out with the same couple of girls that I don’t want to go out with. I even had to remind them once that the girl they wanted me to go out with got married the week before (I think they were invited to the wedding). Parents always think they know what’s best for their kids, they’ve known you since you were born and probably seen you do a lot of stupid things (we all do). It’s not easy for them to see you as an adult capable of making mature decisions without their help. In my case I have people other than my parents that can find dates for me. I still ask my parents advice and they manage to say the opposite of what I want to hear a lot and they happen to be right a frustrating amount of times.
In any case I agree with the other posts about giving some boys a second date even if they seemed weird. I know I’ve said things on first dates that I never would have imagined I would say. If your mother sees that you’re giving every guy a fair chance maybe she’ll realize that you’re not the problem.
