I heard a radio show one time talking about arranged marriages. the guys was talking about how sometimes, when you look for people to date, you never really find the right person because you're not thinking about personality and compatibility all the time, it's more about attraction. and that's why blind dates and dating websites sometimes work out really well, because they take into consideration common interests and personality types and all that junk.
I don't think I'd be opposed to going on a date set up my my mom, but I wouldn't blindly marry someone she wanted me to. I think if your mom wants to set up dates for you it would be a good idea, but ultimately you should choose who you marry.
