  yep. but it sounds kinda "forced" when parents go out to such match making events without thier sons/daughters know.

  its like um.. forced love

  
  This is a copycat from China.  China started to have parents doing this, now the sg gahmen doing the same.     It depends on individuals,really.  Some don't mind parents doing that, but personally I mind.   My mum did mention about it, I told her off immediately.

  Your parents are too concerned about this prematurely.   At your age, they should concern more about your study.    What's the hurry?  Tell them that love cannot be hurried, you can't hurry love.

  Now I see why.    But there again, 16 is really far too early to go into any steady relationship.   I believe at your age, steady relationship, finding gf is not the priority.

  You may want to let them know that you are placing your priority in your study and building your career before going for any steady relationship.   Let them know you are interested to get married but now is not the time to get a gf.

  Aiyah the parents do there and make friends on behalf of their singles children, their children too busy with work or shy. At the end of the day, the children have to chose if they want to meet and friend friend the other family's children. It is more like a family friend.This is not forced marriage like some of you think lor ahahaaaa....

  I don't think those parents would want to see their efforts go to waste without putting pressure on their children...
