Match-making Chronicles: You know you are part of a hardcore Arab family…

By Maytha

When a visiting Halabi friend of a 50 something, unmarried, old maid aunt of yours has made it her mission to find her friend’s 25 year-old niece (me), who she has never met, a husband.

When I mentioned this last point to a friend, that besides my obvious rejections to this “friend”’s self-appointment as my surrogate matchmaker, on a logical basis, that I was incredulous that a woman I had never met would find me the perfect mate, he responded with this:

“Well, I mean, there are some universals in matchmaking”

Maybe this is the “universal” he was talking about:BTW: when I searched “Match making syria” in google images, why did the cover of Barry Rubin’s “The Truth About Syria” show up on the first page of the search????
