The Hookup

I spoke with a good friend of mine recently and we began to catchup on life in general. I asked about her hubby and then she asked me about my "situation" (That is what I am calling it these days). She was in utter disbelief that I am not dating and have no prospects, but then she asked, "Your mom has not hooked you up yet?" My response, "Oh no, unh uh. Are you kidding? I wouldn't trust that arrangement." (Now that I think about it, who knows me better than Mom? And arranged relationships/marriages seem to be working in other countries as well as for the folks on the ranch I suppose. lol...I digress.)

Anyway, I am searching my memory bank to see if I have ever been successfully hooked up... Nope. I can't say that I have. There was one (Beauty was his name...not really but that is what I called him) that probably would have worked, but I was not into long distance relationships at the time.

Okay, it is the summer and my load is a little lighter so I may just do a personal experiment. Calling all headhunters, seeking blind dates...just kidding, just kidding. Ew that's scary! I'll have to spend more time getting the courage to do that. Sounds fun but is it really pragmatic? Imagine your bestie calls and says, "I know the perfect person for you!" Then you meet him/her and it's really the perfect person for somebody or them but not you. And what about your mama?

Has your mother ever hooked you up? Have you been hooked up by a friend or foe? Been on blind dates? How did it go?
