Matchmaking but not what I planned
| Wed, 09-06-2006 - 11:18am |
I have been on Match for 3 (seems longer) weeks. I have yet to meet anyone and have only talked on the phone once with one guy. I have, however, been able to find matches for two of my girlfriends. There were a couple of guys who were nice but just not right for me so I recommended the friend I thought they would be more compatible with. (I have several friends online) They thanked me and initiated contact with my gfs and my gfs were interested. YAY!!! for them. I on the otherhand am still dateless...oh well, my turn will come.

I have a little saying about setting people up. I think it is great as long as "I" am the one doing the setting up. LOL I have had a number of dismal blind dates. I had two last year which were set up by the same friend of mine. One was the friend's brother-in-law who was anything but appealing (physically or personality-wise). The other one was a friend of hers. He lived about 300 miles from me anyway but did make occasional trips back up to our area. He was nice enough, but I learned that he had only recently come out of a very bad long-term relationship. He was not ready to date and I felt like there was no real chemistry (as they say) between us.
That date did show me that it is not only the women who get hurt in relationships. He had been with a horrible woman who had taken advantage of him financially and emotionally. In fact, I have to wonder how gullible he must have been to have stayed with her so long. So, it does happen to men as well as women.
But, I have yet to have what I would call a really "good" blind date. So, if things work out for your friends, you have something to be proud of, and I agree about the karma thing. Surely the good karma that you helped create will come back to you hopefully ten-fold.
