Match Making?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here get set up by friends or family?

I'm starting to think I should go for this option, just tell my friends I'm looking for a relationship know anyone else.

It may be strange and awkward, but I think for lonely shy people... it may just be the best. Friends know you both, how you act, what you like, they can make a decent assessment if you should be together.

To ask for a match in this way, both sides are sort of down and out in finding someone, and may not be as quick to judge the other... if he/she is recommended from friends.

If the relationship really goes sour, gatherings where you are both present'll be strange. This isn't enough to block a potential loving relationship though...

Though for Aspies without many friends or a tenuous relationship with family.... this isn't an option. But for those with some friends, I can't think of any better way. And your true friends will want to see you in a relationship...

Once.

A guy I worked with tried to set me up with his sister as she had been meeting up with the wrong sort of guy and suffering the consequences (her last boyfriend stole her car). She was pretty, easy to talk to, and she smoked like a factory chimney. There wasn't a second meeting as I was trying to give up smoking at the time.

Never for me. It's never happened, nor do I ever want it to happen. When it comes to match making, I often feel like others don't take into consideration just who would best match what you're looking for. I'm more of the 'if you want something done right, do it yourself' line of thought. If I really wanted to date and meet people, I'd rather do it because I know what I'm looking for.

Yes.

By friends...friends who in hindsight... I think didn't like me very much.

Be careful, very careful.
