Why go out on dates when you can let your mom do the work for you?

New Yorker Geri Brin has launched a website where she and other parents can find ideal matches for their single "kids," the New York Post reports. Her goal? To marry off her 31-year-old son, Colby.

"I figured I might as well cast a wide net to increase his odds of finding the right woman since he's not hitting the jackpot on his own," she told the Post.

Geri believes there's a market for a website that caters to moms looking to find a "nice girl" for their sons, and vice versa.

She's invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in "Date My Single Kid" -- which can be found on the website Faboverfifty.com. So far, she's attracted 20 parents and their adult kids.

Call us old-fashioned, but we like to keep our parents out of our love life, thank you very much.

    Might as well.

    Relationships in the U.S. and Westernized nations are so unstable! They keep breaking-up, divorcing, and separating. If the marriage is arranged and there is no way out, you have no choice, but to resolve you issues with your spouse and stay together no matter what.

    The hell no! Never in life!!! Even if I were single, this would really not be a good idea. Although I do trust my mum's taste, I would probably die of embarassment knowing that she set me up. Ugggh.

    my mom and i know each other like a book. she would never hook me up with someone she has the slightest grudge on. she has lots of common sense, i think she would never consider for me a boyfriend because she knows what i've been through. in fact, she hates men. she's been that way since my father killed himself.....

    Since my Mom is currently dating one of my exes, and before that was married to one of my best guy friends, I would say we share the same tastes in men. I doubt I would want her to set me up, but she has insisted I set HER up. Half of the fun of dating is doing the chasing. Sorry Mom - no offense.

    HELL NO.

    I'm the best judge of who is right for me, NOT my mom. Of course, I will bring him back to meet her when it's the right time, but I would NOT let her choose a guy for me.

    Yes, because every person who can't find a date is acne-ridden. Acne is the only thing that could POSSIBLY keep someone from getting a date!

    No, you didn't offend, me. I was being sarcastic.

    And besides, I don't have a date because I'm asexual! As, in, I don't want a date. Ever.
