I LOVE playing matchmaker. Unfortunately none of my matches ever work out. So I guess I'm not very good at it. =\
-
No, I don't want to be responsible! Haha!
-
I do. I played matchmaker once and swore never to do it again.
UNLESS both individuals are mature and marriage minded! -
My only requirement is that if my matches end up getting married, they name their daughter after me. At least their middle name! I think that's fair.
-
I used to but not anymore. I know a lot of nice single girls but not many nice singly guys...Why is that?
-
@rubies: Me tooooo! I know tons of great single girls but the single guys I know are all losers.
-
Nope. I don't want to be responsible if it goes badly.
-
@banana: @Rubies: seriously. korean boys these days need to man up! especially the ones in ca. such entitled fools living off their parents and living outside of their means.
-
Ok so the only way I do this matchmaking thing (without feeling bad if it goes badly) is that we'll all go out somewhere and I'll invite both of them. Then I'll introduce them and that's that. They have to take it from there. If it works out, I want credit! If it doesn't, I'm not responsible. WIN WIN!! haha
@chopsuey119; Totally! The single boys that I know are major losers. Like they don't work, ask their parents for money, or have serious drinking/gambling problems. Yet they drive BMWs and Benzes...leased. UGH. And the single girls that I know are SUCH great catches. I can't even believe they're single!
-
Ehh, In college, DH and I set up my roommate (and friend since elementary school) and his roommate/best friend. They dated for over a year and then he broke up with her and a couple months later... he had a boyfriend. So, that was awkward, especially since they were both in our wedding.
-
@lilteacherbee: crazy!
-
My husband is surprisingly good at it. He has 3 or 4 different couples that got married that he introduced to one another. He doesn't actively try to set people up though.
-
I have only set up one couple (college roommate and high school friend), but they got married and just had their first baby this week! It was a girl, but they refused to name her after me. Boo!
-
No. I like analyzing the relationships of everyone around me!
-
I have tried and honestly I think my guy friends were too good for the girls I set them up with (superficial and needy)
@Rubies: @banana: I have one guy friend who I think is such a catch - good job, works hard, smart and interesting and a really good person. I think his problem is he doesn't have the "swagger" that a lot of girls are looking for...he is just a regular guy that loves sports and hanging out with friends. He has such a good heart though. He works all the time though (lived in London for 2 years on a project and is currently working in Dubai). He already has a college fund set up for his future kids and a wedding fund. I tried setting him up with a nice girl but I think she was a little too young and looking for someone in a different stage in his life. Do you have any nice smart girls you want to set my friend up with?!?! He is 31 years old and on the shorter side (maybe around 5'6")...he is really a great guy and I would love to see him happily set up with a nice girl
-
@sandy: OMG, seriously? If I weren't married, I'd totally go for him! Ummm...But really seriously, is he in Dubai forever? Where's his hometown?
-
I do and I introduced 2 couples who are now married. Huzzah!
-
@Rubies: my husband always jokes that if something happened to him I would end up marrying my friend...seriously, what single guy in his 30s has a savings account for his future kids' college and for a wedding!?!
He is from Seattle and that is where his main office is...he is in town for the holidays and random weekends few times a year. His project in Dubai was only supposed to be for a few months but he has been there since nov 2011.
If you have any girls that would be open to being set up let me know
-
I generally don't but made an exception for my wedding, dh and I knew that two of our friends would like eachother and since they were both in the wedding party we had them walk together... They have been together ever since and are engaged now
we didn't particularly expect that but it's pretty cool.
-
@Maysprout: Dang! He's good! He should do this for a living! haha
@pointybird: Seriously? Boooo! They totally should've named their baby after you! You should've gotten it in writing!!!
@sandy:I would totally marry him! (j/k husband..if you're reading this). I know a bunch of single girls. buuuut they all do not like long distance relationships.
They all live in socal. Do you know anyone in socal???
-
@cyndistar3: How cooooool! And what a cute pic that would be for their wedding slideshow. The two of them walking down the aisle as bridesmaid/groomsmen and now it's bride/groom!
-
We used to try and set people up all the time since we got married so early and none of our friends were even dating seriously. We're a little famous for being good at it, and we did make some good matches, but most of them ended up in breakup. One pretty famous attempt was my childhood friend (@Mrs. Cowgirl and my friend in common) and Wagon Sr.'s college roommate. We saw them hit it off at our engagement party, so we tried to set them up and even arranged our wedding lineup so they'd walk down the aisle together, and had a bridal party dance so they'd be forced to dance together. We knew separately that they liked each other, but... nothing. (They were both extremely shy and slow movers.) A year later, after NOTHING, Wagon Sr.'s friend randomly told us he liked my friend, and did we think she'd say yes if he asked her out? We were like.. uhh, she has liked you for A YEAR. ASK HER OUT NOW. They've been married for 2 years now!
-
@mrs.wagon: I love that story!!! Man, talk about moving slooooow. hahaha.
So the reason I like matchmaking is because i imagine that if I was single, i would TOTALLY want people to hook me up, you know? It's hard meeting people on your own, especially as you get older. My friends always appreciate it when I try to hook them up with someone, even if it doesn't work out. It's a numbers game after all!
They all live in socal. Do you know anyone in socal???
