Good luck. While you are busy with your "undate", can I borrow your friends? I need their help to fix me up with a girl. Any girl. 
Well, I'm sure they could offer their services...for a nominal fee. They have to pay for their wedding somehow.

I am. I got the date scheduled for next week and I'm excited. We're going to go out for lunch and then he's gonna hang out at my house and watch a movie.

Are your mum/brother/grandma going to be around the house?.
If so I´d suggest you mention this to hi beforehand because meeting the family on a firs date is something that he probably isnt expecting and he may need some time to get around that idea.
Anyways you go girl and good luck with the date.

I already told him about coming back to the house. He seems okay with it. He says he'll have to take his allergy meds because he's allergic to animals. >.<
But hopefully all goes well. ^.^

There's probably another way to go on a date and have enough safety nets for your mom to be ok with it.
double/triple dates.. ask your friends if they will bring their own BF's along to a dinner restaurant, etc... that way you can all be in the same place (but each party having their own table ) and agree to go together wherever it is you may go (mall, movie, etc) after that.

Erisad: I know I gave you a bit of a hard time the other day but I really hope this works out for you. Spend time together and see what happens - he sounds like a great fella, so you'll have lots to talk about. Your main problem now I think is stopping your mother from interfering too much with your meeting or listening in on your conversations. Your mum will need to give you space so that you can converse and enjoy each other's company. 
That said, good luck and have a lovely time.

i've always admired the good nature of friends who want to hook you up with someone. But with some people it gets awkward, especially family because at the root of it when an aunt tells me she knows a really cute girl i'd like and will set up a date she's basically saying "hey, i'd think you'd really enjoy sticking your penis in her vagina" and that's not something I want to hear from my 70 year old aunts but when ever they say anything along those lines I always translate it to that crass thought.
Not forgetting that often elderly people still have the most disgusting thoughts of their own too, you know.

Yeah. I'll just tell her to go scrapbook or get on her laptop in her office. She usually leaves me alone when I'm with friends but sometimes I wonder if she is listening in or not...which is why we're going out for lunch first so we can talk about some stuff and not have her around.

And I don't know if I would shudder at the thought or ask them for tips.
