Why aren't my friends playing "matchmaker"? They all said that their guy friends are no-good for me, but what do they know about my tastes in men? What is the catch? Are they afraid there will be a conflict between me and their guy friends?

I mean, I am best friends with my friends. It kind of hurts my feeling that they are not helping me with the dating thing.

Maybe the guys are not good for you. There are certain guys I'm friends with that I've warned my friends about. If their guy friends aren't someone they would date, they would be less likely to send them over to you. Perhaps you could tell them you'd like to meet some of their guy friends and you could decide whether or not you'd like to date them. Assure them that you are a good judge of character and should anything go wrong, they are not being held accountable in any way.

Only your friends can tell you their reasons that their guy friends are not good for you. Have you asked them why?

I didn't really ask them why...some of them just don't know anyone who is available while other friends said that their guy friends are "players" or "retards." I was like...okay. How am I supposed to know what their guy friends are like without meeting them?

I can try to assure them that I have a good judgement and that I can decide for myself, but it still would be awkward to ask my friends again. When I first asked them if they know any guys who's looking for a date, and they all act strange...like they got their tongue-tied. So I changed the subject after they said they don't know anyone who's good enough for me.
