Do people avoid events to keep from being introduced?

Married friend of mine was going to want to introduce me to her friend that may or may not be able to make it to a certain event (non-Meetup related)...and turns out she has plans and couldn't make it.

 

SHe kept trying to pull her single friends teeth to get her to come, but can't.

 

Not saying she did NOT have plans, but I'm noticing a trend among single women that I think that may deliberately avoid situations where they think their married friends are trying to introduce their them to their other single friends.

 

Is this true...does this happen a lot wher eyou're at?

 

Even if it's a casual event.

 

It occurs to me as to why dig your heels in and just go with the flow and be introduced?

.....me and the married friend discusses her single friend's apprehension that even though it's not a 'Set up"....she did mention me to her friend in conversation and alluded to the fact that she'd introduce her to me, and I to her at the gathering......the married friend did concur that she may have felt a little "weird' about this kind of introduction....and decided to bail.

Married women can be annoying as **** with their attempts to manipulate their friends love lives, or actually any aspect of their lives. Once their own dating life is ended and they're happily married they want to spread the same thing to everyone, like a zombie trying to eat brains. It's annoying as a man and it must be annoying as a woman. Also, being introduced through friends is something you have to be used to already. If her friend isn't, then yes it will feel weird.

 

Perhaps a better approach if you'd like to meet this woman is to get her number from your married mutual friend, text her introducing yourself and apologising for the married friends funny ideas, and asking if she'd like to meet on her own terms, etc. It's got to be a better way.

Well, I could just message her through my married friend's friends list....the single lady in question is on FB (looked at her profile already).

 

I more opened to being introduced than most people I guess. I figured with men they would be less annoyed than women since men are more on the "look out" than women are.

Every time a friends wife has tried to set me up with a girlfriend of hers, I say no to the ones I have no attraction to if they show me a pic or when I get eyes on her and I try out the ones I am actually attracted to.
