you know what? nobody's ever tried to set me up. well, meghan did that once with dean, but she was pretty passive about it and it turned out she didn't want us to hook up and put card nights in jeopardy.
i just realized that no one has ever said "hey, i've got this guy i think you should meet". not one of my co-workers with sons my age. not one of my friends with single male friends. admittedly, most of our friends and co-workers are married, but i know that both mark and dean work in construction with many men who aren't. maybe matchmaking isn't something guys think about. or maybe i'm just not someone that people want dating their friends or family.
wow, that's depressing.
or maybe they don't think anyone is good enough for you.
Or maybe they think you won't go for the whole blind date thing.
dragged one of my married co-workers aside, she's my age, nice girl, and said "ok, you got any single friends, here's what I'm looking for...?"
Did that work... nope. I think people would feel bad if they set you up and it turned out horribly. Its the whole "being personally responsible" thing eh?
you dont want to be "set up" . . . believe me.
*gong*
i wish i knew someone :)
Trust me ... it's not really worth it. For me it meant that "We can't get this girl a date any other way, so guess who's going out with her?"
