I’ve thought about starting a thread on this for a while.
People have been trying to set me up practically my whole life. Just like last week I was ambushed with a blind date. I met a friend and his gf, and they had a friend who just so happen to be there to meet me.
With very few exceptions, all of the girls/women are ones I would never be attracted to physically, intellectually or emotionally. Last week was no exception. And without exception, I am always extremely polite about it…until I get the matchmaker alone and ask them what the hell were they thinking. Not because my ego was hurt, rather because they put two people in an uncomfortable situation.
The problem is with most matchmakers, it’s about satisfying their own need to control things rather than asking the most basic question about setting two people up, which is not “I think these two would be perfect for each other”. It is “would these two people be attracted to each other”.
There should be a law that most people (especially women, especially especially married/taken women) should be banned from setting people up. It’s a shame because meeting people through friends should be the best and easiest way to meet a potential mate, but often it can be the worst.
We were not matched at all. Most importantly, he was obviously in the closet.
