Do you have experience either being set up by a friend or setting up your single friends? Did you yell at your matchmaker? Did your friends yell at you for trying to play matchmaker?
I've set up a few of my mutual friends, it's great when you know two ppl who you think would be perfect together, lots of fun.....except when something goes wrong, Then....not so much
Match Making.. I think I'll leave that to the professionals, I don't wanna cause a fire around my house, and I only use matches to light up mesquite for BBQ's..
Seriously, I've never been set up with anybody before, and I've never set anybody up either.
Some of these matchmakers charge more for a match than most people make in a year.
In reading that article, it was upsetting that people whose friends set them up with others were so upset at the attempted match that they no longer speak to that matchmaker.

I don't wanna be responsible for somebody else's mess-up! Once I did play a matchmaker indirectly (friends of mine met at my birthday) and the "victims" are still grateful to me after so many years and remember my birthday.

So it did work! Instead of you getting a b-day gift, you gave it to them.
I've played matchmaker as well, but for financial transactions, not marital ones. : \

Well, they've been married for many years and have 2 kids. Their marriage is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and they probably would've been divorced had they lived here , but it works for them. As I said, both of them still remember my birthday and always greet me as opposed to cursing the day, so it's not that bad.
I tend to date men who are older than me, so my coworker had this "great older guy"...
Well needless to say, I showed up for the date looking for someone distinguished...I was 33, he was 63....not that age is a big deal, but we just didnt have anything in common. Nice guy...but I still get it from my friend who is like "you broke his heart, because you didnt call".
My friend jokes that he will not ever set me up, again. Really, that's ok by me...lol
