So your mom wants to set you up. It’s safe to assume this isn’t just a hook-up-then-dump or yet another person to rotate into a serial dating lineup.
And if there’s a familial connection, you should probably be on your best behavior, too.
That’s a lot of pressure from the get-go…so should you go along with a family member setting you up on a date?
We’ve rounded up three Millennial family set-ups that worked out (one marriage, one engagement, and one seven-year committed relationship) and their matchmakers to get their take on it.
The Cast of Characters:
James and Lauren were set up by their dads. They dated for a year and a half before getting engaged. Their wedding is set for August 2018.
Maryclare set up her son Johnny with her childhood best friend’s daughter Rachel. The matchmakers and their husbands set up a family dinner in Chicago to introduce their kids, and the rest is history. Johnny and Rachel have been together seven years.
Kathryn successfully matched her brother Brian with Janet, of Verily Magazine, by convincing Brian to fly from Pittsburgh to New York City to meet her. They got married in 2014 and now have two children.
Lessons learned from these family setups:
1) A setup comes with a vote of confidence from your family member.
2) Meeting each other will be more organic than a social media meetup.
3) If you two decide to give it a try, there’s a level of commitment to seeing where it might lead.
4) Familial connections can span any distance.
5) Remember, your matchmaker just wants you to be happy
6) If your families are onboard, your fundamental values probably align.
Bonus: If your families share the same faith, you’ll have another value-based connection.
