Young single adults prefer that their parents leave them to find
their own life partners. However some parents, fearing their
children are more tethered to their Facebook accounts than they are
interested in a social life, are giving their children dating
nudges.
On Feb 2, dating agency Clique Wise organised Parents Connections,
an event for parents to suss out potential matches for their
children. The event at the Singapore Turf Club drew about 60
parents, including a handful of single daughters.
Clique Wise founder Lydia Gan, 39, says: "Parents are asking for
the event because they find their children are too busy with
careers with no time to socialise."
By attending the event, parents hope to get some contacts which
they can at least pass to their unattached children, she adds.
