I found these suggestions on “Finding a Mate” at a blog called Homeliving Helper, and I thought it contained some good advice. Since we have four teenagers (I prefer to call them young adults), the subject is of some interest to me.

“I don’t believe in this sitting-around-stuff that some single girls are ascribing to, waiting til someone magically appears. The parents need to be alert and be able to recognize a good man when they see one, and pursue a friendship with him. I agree you shouldn’t chase men, but I do think there are many things you can do to bring one into your life.
In this current day, parents take a greater interest in choosing the college their children will attend, than they do in choosing a future mate. You judge for yourself which is the most important.”
