friends like to play matchmaker

[beastieangel01]

Is this a common thing or what?

My best friend met some people through her boyfriend, one being a long term friend of her boy friends. She just randomly invited over tonight when I was planning on going on a date and she begged me to cancel/reschedule and meet this guy. I was actually planning to reschedule anyway because I felt too tired for a long night (dinner then a show that would have lasted until 4am) so I did.

Anyway, so this guy came in to our house and I was turned around at the time. My best friend rushed up to me whispered with a urgent/excited tone "Crystal! Say HI!"

Then once he and I finally talked a bit, she couldn't stop asking me "so what do you think of him? he's cute right? he's also so nice and intelligent he's a great guy" etc. Basically this whole pitch on why he's great.

He did ask me if I wanted to grab lunch tomorrow and I said sure, but I still am confused as to why friends feel the need to play matchmaker. I already had a date planned tonight! heh.

nobody's ever made a match for me

[mikizee]

Nah no one has matched me up either. and I'm glad. Far too awkward.

[mikizee]

sweet, I'll move in, stay there for 5 years then leave and take half. HALF!

[beastieangel01]

yeah, maybe it IS a thing women do.

Damned vaginas.

[Rock]

I do that shit all the time, but not in a round about way.

Usually its:

Hey XXXX i know this hot girl that is just looking to fuck, come out with me and ill introduce you.

Or

Hey XXXXX, you should meet my friend XXXX, His ex girlfriend said that he has a big cock and is a marathon man.

or the rare:

You want to meet my friend XXXXX, I think you guys would get along.

ahaha

actually now that I think of it, a male friend of mine said to a male friend of his (who commented that I was attractive to the mutual friend) that I was available. And we ended up hanging out because of it. And then he turned out to be a butthole. And now I blame my mutual friend and give him hell for it. Haha. :mad:

I set up a gal friend with a guy friend of mine. They dated for about 2 weeks and she started telling me about how deviant he was sexually. It was way too much information now I think they are both dirty freaks.

I don't play matchmaker anymore because I felt like a pimp and I didn't even get paid in full.

I think all the girlfriends I have had came from some kind of recommendation / meeting through friends.

I have still never stone cold just asked a broad for her number, partly because I've mostly been with the same person for 10 years, partly because I'm a sissy.

on valentine's day, I told a guy at a bar that a girl wanted to lick his face. they've been dating ever since. and they are in love and talking about marriage and how I have to give a speech at their wedding, even though I barely know them. :cool:

what was it that made him a butthole?

[beastieangel01]

what was it that made him a butthole?

well. if it was just casual hanging out that would have been fine.

but then
he brought me to his birthday dinner which was just him, his parents, his brother, his brothers wife and kids, and his two best friends.
we then went to a lot of shows and would take turns going to see each other (he lives two hours north) and he came here for my birthday. He even met my Mother and yada fucking yada. Things were going along really well and I ended up really liking him. A lot.

Then one day he just stops talking about hanging out. And I was confused. He ended up saying that he knew he was going to be working a lot again and then a two hour drive is pretty far and dropped me. Though not completely I guess, he'll still send me messages and hit on me.

All I know is: how many girls would PUT UP with Star Wars bedsheets on the bed, let alone LIKE THEM?! And an Ash doll. And an Indiana Jones poster.

two hours my ass.

But whatever.

Man, that was going to be my reply. Guys usually don't because we know most of our friends are assholes, looking to hit it. So if we have any friends that are girls, we never set them up for we know what will happen.

Yeah ummmm.....I disagree. Most of my male friends aren't assholes, if they were, they wouldn't be my friends. If they were just trying to hit it, they make it clear that its just a sex thing. Now rewind to the age of about 14 - 23, then maybe.

Plus if you are setting them up with a female friend you make it clear to both of them on how you think it will be. "He just wants some ass" "she just needs to be deep dicked" "he/she is looking for something serious" etc.
