I remember in high school my mom used to volunteer with a lady whose grandson was my age and I pushed my mom for an intro for awhile...she was never cooperative though! As an adult I'm thankful my parents aren't meddlesome! :) mamimami on "Have you ever been on a blind date arranged by your parents?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-on-a-blind-date-arranged-by-your-parents#post-1297034 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 02:01:44 +0000 mamimami 1297034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nooooo my mom has had some notions but thankfully never acted on them.
