mortensorchid Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Several weeks ago I went to a theater where I am active. After the opening night, we were all sitting on the back patio chatting and a gal in the company said that she wanted to play matchmaker for me. With who? Another man in the company, on the board, who I have met once or twice and said "Hi how are you?" I will call him Bob. I asked "Bob? He always seems so silent." She said "I think you are his dream girl, you should be with him." I didn't give it a second thought. Tonight at a friend's birthday party (also from the same company), the same woman said to me that she wanted to play matchmaker with me and Bob again. She once again told me that I am his dream girl, but some others in the company said "Oh I thought Bob was married." Apparently he has a daughter who does not live with him. I said "Well you better find that out real quick whether or not he's married, otherwise the plan won't get off the ground." My problem seems to be this with the situation. Bob (who I barely know) on the surface, seems like an alright guy. But he seems rather introverted. I seem to attract types that are introverted and they are intimidated by me and others around me who are more personable or extroverted types. I am not opposed to her putting me with him, if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. But I guess I have this fear of failure. I've been burned so many times I am afraid to get burned again with someone who doesn't want to take it to the next level or who doesn't want to do this or that, etc. Any thoughts?
