ever since i can remember my mom has tried to play match maker with me and others also.recently she told me about a guy she works with ,she says hes a good looking nice guy and that she told him about me.she asked him for his email and then she gave it to me and told me i should email him.for some reason i didnt feel i should so i havent used it and its been a week but whenever i speak to my mom she keeps hassling me about it. i dont know why she s so set on me emailing this guy but its kinda getting on my nerves.do you guys think i should just email him ?? and if i did what would i even say being that we,re strangers ? any opinion on this appreciated thanks!
Should i email this guy ? need your thoughts??
My opinion - no don't email him. If your mom is so desperate to have the two of you meet, let her take both of you to lunch, coffee or a drink after which you can decide for yourself what happens next.
Reply:You should go ahead and email him. It sounds to me like up until this point it has been about you and your mom arguing. Give him a chance, you never know, you may really like this guy. Please answer mine too:

Reply:Well, you might as well give it a shot. Maybe you are really destined to be together... and if not, then just forget him.
Reply:He might think you a creepy old man.
Reply:I think your mom has the best intentions but is going about it the wrong way. Maybe she has visions of grandbabies, or she thinks you haven't had the best luck with guys you've dated in the past, or she just really wants to see you with a nice person. I'd say something to her like "Mom, while I really appreciate you wanting to see me with someone, I'm very uncomfortable with you playing matchmaker. When I'm ready to date, I will be sure to seek your advice on future prospects, but right now, I'm (a) happy to be single or (b) going to be looking for a date on my own." Let her know that you appreciate what she's doing but you don't feel like it's an approach that is going to work for you.
I would be uncomfortable e-mailing a perfect stranger. If there's a way the two of you could meet face-to-face like if you meet your mom at her job for lunch, then she can introduce you or at a company picnic, but in your position right now, I don't think I'd be able to e-mail the person.
