You have to love well-meaning friends.
When they see that you have not been on a date in awhile, they start going through that Rolodex in their memory to find you a date. This can also happen when you get out of a relationship with someone they couldn't stand.
They start thinking about old school friends or people at work, trying to find someone single who they feel is compatible.
Depending on how you are, you either blow your friend off or appease them by agreeing to a date.
However, when you go out on the date, you figure out that the person is perfect all right. Your date is a perfectly suitable mate for your friend. Everything from their style of dress to their values to their interests screams out they would be compatible with your friend.
Now if you've ever watched any show centered around a group of friends, whether it's Friends, Sex in the City or Girlfriends, you know how different friends can be from one another.
Rachel and Chandler would not have worked. And Miranda probably would've strangled Big after about his third screw-up. Yet, Chandler suited Monica and Carrie and Big were meant to be.
Like those shows, my friends and I have a lot in common, but we almost never agree on what makes a man attractive or our dating styles. So, when trying to help a single friend out, we try to keep that in mind.
Do you trust your friends to set you up with someone who is compatible with you? Has your friend ever tried to set up with someone who was more compatible with them? How did it go?

A friend hooked me up with my boyfriend and we've been together now for almost two years. It was kind of strange, one day she just said, I know this guy, he'd be perfect for you. I was skeptical, but once we started hanging out, she was right. We've been going strong ever since. Sometimes your friends are dead on because they not only know what you like, but they can objectively find you what you need. Sometimes on our own, we leave out what we need and exchange that for bells and whistles we didn't need in the first place. But it's a special situation, I don't think it happens often.
Has anyone tried "Singles after Hours" There is a dance this Thursday at the Cupula from 7 to 11.The cost is $15 which includes supper. All ages are there.
