KittenMoon Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 So, I think I got asked out again, by yet another guy I don't want to go out with. Except I think he'd be PERFECT for a friend of mine.... who is unfortunately out of state at grad school. I'm trying to think of a "subtle" way of introducing them, even electronically.... this is HARD! I'm thinking, since I have both their emails, of doing a general email about some political/social issue (these two eat that stuff up) and hoping some sort of e-discussion ensues. Am I asking for trouble playing matchmaker? Especially since any potential success would officially make me the only "alone" person in our group?

Not to be the pessimist, but lets say that they meet and things go well and they form a relationship. Down the road if they were to break-up who do you think would be the most likely person that both of them would be calling to bytch, complain, cry their heart out to, etc. about the other?

Oh, that's the best part= NOT ME. The guy is an aquaintance from my writing class, the girl would call one of our other friends to whine (or not whine at all, because she has a history of dating the biggest @$$hats ever, and complained minimally after her last decent relationship) Oh well, I might need to get more friendly with this guy first, maybe I can create a meeting the next time this friend is in town.

Are you sure? Will you be personally introducing the two of them? If not, then you are correct.
whichwayisup Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Except I think he'd be PERFECT for a friend of mine.... who is unfortunately out of state at grad school. Because of this, don't bother. If they were in the same City, I would say go for it, but they aren't. Just seems kind of pointless, even if they communicated online, that's not a good and healthy way to start of a relationship.
