I got such good advice on my younger son, I thought I'd give this a try for my daughter.

She is 28, gorgeous, has a great figure, and a sarcastic/ fun personality. She has a master's degree and teaches special ed/ behaviorally challenged first graders.

Many of her friends are getting married. She can't seem to meet the right guy.

She's tried Match and eHarmony with no luck. She says the guys on there are weird.

I've suggested church groups, meet-ups, etc.

Where do people meet nowadays?

Or is she too young and I shouldn't worry?

It's none of your business.

You shouldn't worry.

I mean that in two senses:

1. It is her life, and

2. Even if it were okay for you to intervene, which I urge that it is not, she is still quite young.

How well does she receive your suggestions about ways to meet guys?

It's a tough question. I think most people don't know where to meet someone. Church meetings sound like a good place to me if she is religious, where she can find like-minded people. Meet-up groups is another option if she is interested in something in particular, I guess. I wouldn't show my worry to her and push her in this though. This might make things worse for her. I think it's her responsibility to take the actions. You can guide her if she asks. She sounds like a person who can take care of herself. I understand your worries, though.

She talks about wanting to meet someone...I know she is interested.

I think it IS my business in a friendly way. I want to be a supportive mom and mother-in-law and a good grandparent, if that happens.

I like to see my kids happy. If I can help, I like to. If they tell me to back off, I do.

I think part of my feelings come from having no father and an abusive, alcoholic mother. I'd rather be a loving, slightly nosy parent than what I had.

Another suggestion that actually came from my therapist is word of mouth. Just mention to others about availability of oneself.

If nothing seems to be coming her way, right now, maybe that's just where she needs to be right now? A lot can happen in a year, so wait it out is my suggestion.

The thing to be, though, is the parent that she wants. What kind of parent is that?

If your discussions with her about this topic are amicable, and if you are following her lead on whether or not to discuss it, then fine.

Thanks, I think this makes a lot of sense.

Some places I've met guys were: Work work related parties, events, volunteer EMT, those firefighters are hot hot. Party, going out with friends for a drink, (omg if someone judges me hold it!) charities, through friends, thru family...

I met my best partners during the times when I was paying the least attention to relationships. lol There's really no good advice on this besides telling her to keep living her life, get involved in activities she enjoys, and hopefully something will come of it.

I met my first husband when we both volunteered as paramedics and my second by blind date.

Is it a concern of hers that she is asking for your help?
