Meddling, matchmaking moms now have a new way to find their kid a date: Date My Single Kid!
Date My Single Kid is an online dating website that allows mothers to post dating profiles on behalf of their single, adult children. Interested suitors can respond to a profile by getting in touch with a single's mother (assuming mom thinks they're good enough, of course).
The website is the creation of Geri Brin, whose 31-year-old son, Colby, is "fit and funny, witty and willful, curious and cultured". Interested, ladies? Simply search "Colby" to get in touch (with his mother).
Believe it or not, Colby isn't embarassed by his mom's matchmaking attempts. As he recently told CNN:
"The way I look at it is I'm not sitting at home resting on my laurels. I'm meeting women, but she can also help. It can't hurt. I'm not embarrassed and I think it's pretty fun."
While it may seem strange, matchmaking parents are nothing new. Shaadi.com is a popular macthmaking site for Indian parents hoping to snag a spouse for their single children, and some parents in Japan throw matrimonial parties in attempt to marry off their offspring.
Dating can be tough. Why not let mom lend a helping hand?
