A Jewish mother has become so fed up with waiting for her son to settle down that she has set up a website to find him a wife.

Just weeks after an enterprising son tried to auction his Jewish mother on eBay the tables have turned as New Yorker Geri Brin launched a site to find her son Colby a girlfriend.

Ms Brin, an Internet entrepreneur who works with Colby, has started “Date My Single Kid" to help her and other parents find matches for their single offspring.

If she finds him a date, it won’t be the first time the 31-year-old has been out with someone handpicked by his mother. Ms Brin has been playing Cupid – unsuccessfully - for five years already.
