A little bit something like that happened to me a few years ago, when I was in my early twenties...

However it was my mom who took an initiative and chatted up another mom, which ended up with them passing my number to a woman my age.

That was at a yearly community festival and the cute woman my age was volunteering there at a booth.

She ended up texting me, however was kinda dry. Well I never talked to her before so I contiued the chat to get at least a common interest or a vibe going before asking her out.

In the end I took her short replies as a lack of interest. Weeks later, I learned from my mom that she was looking for an old school date invite via call. Made me a little sad but no regrets. :) She could've told me so or call me herself.

Good luck on the Date!

Should you feel embarrassed no.

Parents introducing their kids to romantic partners has happened since the dawn of time.

The difference here is how you are being told about it.

The hardest part of parenting is figuring out when the kid needs a hug, a challenge or just a swift kick in the ass.

This looks to me like a parent providing for his kid.

Something like this used to be the norm for centuries. Do it, even just to see if our ancestors were onto something 😄

Bro your dad is the best! The communication sounds like a dick move, but in between the letters I find nothing but love from your dad. Look, things were different when he was your age.

I mean, let's be honest, there is a very very small chance you'll find the love of your life with this date. But as others said, this could be a kick start to a much more fun life. Just enjoy it! Who knows what doors this experience will open for you!

Embarassed, no. Pissed off? That's up to you. For me, I'd be both happy that someone gives a fuck about me and highly scepticle that my dad would be able to set me up with a woman that I wouldn't hate. Most people piss me off. Then again I don't get out much and I tend to interact with the worst of humanity.

If you mean should you be embarrassed about being set up on a date by your parent then no, as others have pointed out in these comments it's been happening since the dawn of time. I'm 38 and I'd love to be set up on a date by my parents or frankly anyone. But I think I'd find not being consulted about it a bit annoying.

Lol

Man, if my parents set me up on a blind date with a woman Id be beyond thrilled.

Your old man knows what he's doing. She's 27.

Go on the date, try and be cool. Let her do most of the talking. Given the age gap, it probably won't ever be anything serious.

However, she's 27. You're getting laid on the first or second date as long as you don't turn her off. She's looking to get lucky.

Cut your fingernails, shave your balls, keep some gum or mints in your pocket. Bring rubbers. Be cool.

Personally I'd be pissed off to be honest. It's none of his business and this is crossing boundaries.

Being set up with random women you've never met and he himself likely barely knows is very unlikely to be successful. He's also aggressive and rude about it. Why is he so angry you're single?

This isn't about the random date, this is about the way your dad treats you. You're 22, not a child, it's none of his business. How you react to this determines how he behaves in the future - if you don't want him doing this again you need to tell him where to go.

Don't worry, i just bailed on my mom trying to set me up with a lawyer. hahaha

The one picture she sent just didn't give off the right vibe 🤷‍♂️

It is humiliating but in the long run it might be ok.

i would be a hypocrite if i said yes.

If my dad had tried to do this to me I'd probably go along with it. Knowing what he was like, he would've set me up with a gay man, and we'd both have a laugh.

Isn't this basically a scene from Better Off Dead?

A free meal and possibly good company. I would take a shot at it for sure!

Honestly, a bit fucked up your dad takes control over who you date and spend time with. But as the others said, you can atleast go there for a free meal and hopefully make a new friend. I do understand the weird pressure this would put on you though. I hope all goes well, and dont feel pressure to pursue a relationship if youre not feeling it. Your dad cant be the deciding factor in that

ew wtf

Embarrassed? My dude, you should be angry. I'm sure your dad's coming from a good place but he's still running roughshod over your agency and free will by doing this. This is pretty close to abject disrespect of your choices (and possibly hers).

You need to nip this in the bud and make it clear you won't tolerate being pushed around like this. Time to show some of that steel spine, buddy.
