Modern age matchmaker.
I just received an SMS from Mom, which contains an e-mail address.
She said that it belongs to a child of a friend of Dad's.
I thought: "Maybe she needs me to contact the person for some business or something."
So, I scrolled down to check out the address and further instructions.
There were no further instructions.
Looking at the address, the owner is most likely a lady.
I dread the day she learns how to send MMS.

Thankfully, there weren't any "recommendations". (Wait, there were two, and one did not follow through)
From the previous article. So could this be the one that followed through? :> Gd luck, bro.
Sonic: Oh wouldn't you like to know :P
But I was just referring to the general population that I saw as I went mall hopping with my family.
It is not the kind of "Cinderella Ball" you're imagining :P
a_x: I would have no idea as I do not even know the name of the so called "friend of Dad's". Anyway, what can I do? Write an e-mail to her that say: "Uhm, I am the son of a friend of your Dad's. Would you like to go for dinner?"
Later I get sued for stalking :P
ole wolvie: you're asking me? that will cost you, mister. heh. just kidding.
ok. here it is. no kidding.
be honest. in the email to her, write about how you get her email address (so that she's not freaked out) & how you're annoyed with the good intention of your parents (this is to establish a common ground as she would likely be annoyed as well by her parents).
tell her your frank opinion about matchmaking in this modern age (no, don't quote about this particular url of yours!).
she'll very likely share the same opinion. another common ground for both of you.
but do make it c-l-e-a-r that you have got nothing against her & that you believe she ought to be a wonderful person as she's the first [1] to be recommended & no parents would sabotage their own child's happiness by recommending a bad person. this demonstrates that you're a logical person. logical = reliable.
intrigue her further by stating that you believe everyone is responsible for his/her own happiness. it's not something that parents can and should dictate.
then you abruptly stop your email by saying that you're not really comfortable writing too much about yourself & that you actually prefer listening about her opinion about this whole issue of matchmaking. Over dinner. (but don't tell when & where. if she's worthy of you, she'd reply & follow up on that. if no email from her, well...that's her loss. not yours.)
[1] so you lie a bit. you just want to flatter her subtly & to see whether she's intelligent enough to notice that compliment.
Man... since when you two become 月老's disciples? :P
Oh. Finally I know what you meant last time with "Old man of the moon" in your comment. Heh.
You're welcome. ;)
