I met a couple (both with same ethnic background) from attending a couple of social gatherings. This couple have a few kids -- girls and boys. My family hosted a gathering and this couple met my son (young man) from this gathering. My spouse and I got the impression that this couple always like us, and they were both impressed of our son as well. After this occasion, this couple had always mentioned their daughter who was a year younger than my son. Everytime there's family gatherings organized by the social group, they always mentioned in general that they will take their daughter with them. My son is reserved and career oriented so he's always busy, unable to join us for family socials. On one occasion, my son was able to join us on a gathering, and this couple made sure that my son and their daughter got introduced. This couple always praised my son, and they are hoping that one of their sons will go for the same career as my son. One day, I met one of the couple (wife) and had a chat with her. During the conversation, I asked her how her kids were. During the course of the conversation, she said, "oh, did I tell you that my daughter already have a boyfriend?" I said that she didn't but it was nice to hear. She said that the boyfriend was introduced by someone she knew. To my opinion, it sounded like a match making. Then, we started talking about something else then all of a sudden, she asked, "does your son have a girlfriend?" I was a bit shocked, and I said, "my son is not so worried about that right now. I was puzzled, and to this day I can't get over thinking why we engaged in such topic of conversation. I want to confirm what is behind the scene. Since their daughter already have a boyfriend, what do you think is behind the parent's mind? Thank you.
