Of course my mother didn't have any new information--she doesn't know Tam ku; my father didn't get any more information while he was there, which isn't surprising either. At least my mother asked him if she is Catholic, but he doesn't know since Tam ku didn't mention it and he didn't ask. Why would he? Religion isn't a concern for him. My mother thought that the bare information was enough--she's nice, isn't that enough for a recommendation? I reminded her that there are many people who are "nice" who nonetheless would not be compatible because of their life goals and standards (e.g. birth control). She asked if my father should make further inquiries, and I said if he didn't have anything else to do he could, implying that it's not necessary for him to press.

Matchmaking requires more thorough initial inquiries...
