binny Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I was just wondering how many people have got together because a friend has suggested that 2 friends who don't know each other should get to know each other? Are there any disadvantages to this? I was chatting with a friend the other night and he said that he thinks i would get on really well with one of his friends and if I wanted he could pass on my contact details. I was like 'yes, please'.. but now I'm thinking this guy might think I'm weird for even agreeing! I don't think anything will actually happen in terms of a date as we don't live anywhere near each other.. but thought it was better to try than to just assume..
FitChick Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 There is no harm in it. The only problem might be if one of you didn't really fancy the other and goes back to the mutual friend saying, "WTF were you thinking?" But that's more of a problem for the friend. It happened to me years ago when a friend fixed me up with a poverty stricken, alcoholic aristocrat who lived in a crumbling stately home in England with no heat. Let us know how it turns out.
eleanorhurting Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 It might be a problem A year ago one of my friends tried to "make it happen" for me and this guy who was a friend of hers and her boyfriends he ended up being a total douchebag to me and it was so embarassing After talking on the phone for a few weeks we are at this huge festival with a bunch of people and we had a great time and ended up kissing and acting very sweet towards each other in front of everyone. (big mistake, it was the first of many stupid mistake i made after my breakup 3 months earlier) And then the next day at a party with the same people (except the friend who set us up) he did the exact same thing! He kissed this other girl in front of everyone and then lied to me about it I was so embarrassed by the whole situation and to be honest i kind of held it against my friend a little (but i never told her as this would be extremely immature). So yeah, just thread lightly.
Author binny Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 He told my friend that I'm "not his type".. Ah well, least I tried right? Doesn't sound like either of your experiences were that great so perhaps it's a good thing it didn't work out! This guy is very inexperienced with girls, my friend said he had never even kissed a girl before.. So I don't think I would have had the same problems - probably different problems though! lol

Just be careful.
