For one, thank your dad...yes im serious. Then tell him never to do it again. Tell him you apreciate the thought, but it makes you uncomfortable and you feel like it belittles you. (insert own feelings...)
Secondly, give your father some credit and assume that hes at work DHV'ing you by talking about you...maybe this women heard some cool stuff about you and told your dad that her daughter is single.
Call the girl, maybe in a day or 2, and crack a joke about it. "Hey, this is (insert your name), my father works with your mother, does your mother plan all your interactions?" (have to laff). or "...does your mother try to set you up with people on a regualr basis." (have to say same as other, laffing).
From there just go into an opinion opener, a DHV story about your father maybe (if you get along with him, family values is DHV).
Tell her you cant talk long you promised to call (insert girls name here, preferably a real friend you have that is female). If she says something like "ok ill let you go then." tell her, "Hey, i didnt say i had to right this moment, she can wait im talking to you right now...i just cant let you keep me on the phone forever" (finish the last part C&F with a chuckle)
Talk as long as you feel its comfortable and you guys have things to discuss. If you have, or can create, any kind of connection you guys should have plenty to talk about. Just remeber that for a while, 90% of the convo is in your hands.
Follow a framework for PU, stick to what works for you, control the frame and when you guys are done say good bye and thats it. If you think it is apropriate, ie you guys spent a long time on the phone and made a good connection, invite her out with you and some friends. If not maybe you need another phone convo to create that kind of comfort.
Hope this helps, good luck.
