My last one was a set-up. It was 2-3 years ago Met the guy once, but that was enough for me to not be interested. I was set-up prior to that one around the previous year. That didn't go so well either. Guy seemed nice, but he was interested in another girl, his ex, whom he started talking to again later.
So I know in the future, NO SET-UPS. My uncle has been wanting me to come stay with him so he can introduce me to a slew of guys. That won't be happening. My mother has also tried setting me up. I already told her not to do it again.

I haven't dated anyone (beyond a first or second date) in almost a year.
Months, and it will be over a year by the time I get around to it again. And I'm okay with that. So close to moving, that my new place is pretty much all I can think about. Going to furnish it nearly from scratch. Same for my wardrobe. Will most likely be adding another pet. Maybe, if the money is right and I can telecommute a couple of days a week, I'll end up back in the regular workforce.
OOH, I'm getting all happy just thinking about it! No time to worry about a guy.

My Aunt tried setting me up with her sister last December. I wasn't really that crazy about her (as she wasn't about me either I'm sure), but I was willing to at least give it a try. We exchanged numbers, but nothing ended up happening. Every time we would text, she'd reply with very, very few words. She seemed pretty disinterested in talking to me. Eventually, I sent her a text (after a 3 week hiatus on my end), and she never responded and that was the end of that.

That's who mine was. I wasn't too interested, and either the guy knew that and let it go, or the feeling was mutual and he wasn't feeling it for me either.
But set-ups tend to be awkward. It feels staged and unnatural, and seems a bit desperate. So that, along with online dating aren't preferred methods for me.
And, usually when people set you up, they do it according to who they think you should be with, not who they actually think you'd like. Least it's that way with my mother. Like the last guy, she figured I should give that a shot since I don't have the men beating down my door. So I went on the meet-up, and still wasn't interested, like I knew I wouldn't be. lol Then there's another guy she wanted to set me up with, where she and the guy's mother discussed us dating. And I never once told her I was interested in said guy, so it was a tad forward of her to be scheming that up.
So for many with set-ups, it's the "Beggars can't be chosers" mentality where they feel you should be grateful for anything they find for you, rather than actually considering if said person would really be interested, in terms of physical attractiveness and personality, how they carry themselves, etc.
