Match-Making

Recently, I made a journal entry about a match-making experience I've been having (and decided to ask your experiences with it!). My best friend's mom wants to hook me up with her God Son. She mentioned it to him, and it has now gotten into his head that I'm interested. He's a nice guy and all, but I'm really not. We've always been decent friends, so I wasnt too surprised when he called to wish me a Merry Christmas and talked about hanging out before I went back to school. However, when he ended a facebook message with:

I'm not really sure which of our new years was actually better, cause if I had a choice I chose sleeping in over watching the to dogs go at it, but thats just me. and about spanish girls, did you have anyone to kiss at midnight, if not, you know we might just have to have our own New Years party when I get back and just pretend to watch the ball drop just an idea.

... I became quite bothered by the fact that I'd have to deal with this. No one likes it when a friend suddenly has an interest that isnt mutual.

On the other hand, I have been the match-maker between one of my suite mates and a Delta Brother of mine, and they make the most adorable couple.

So I'm a bit torn with the idea of match-making. It can be both a wonderful and horrible thing.

What do you guys think? Gech mentioned having some horror stories... let's hear them. What are your experiences with match-making? Is it a good or a bad thing?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Those are amazing ways to deal with stuff like that, Gech! =O

And those are the stories I'm looking for, basically. Gech nailed it. Who tried to hook you up with someone? What was the result? Did the result making you more or less willing to go along with people who play match-maker? Or what about stories from when YOU played match-maker?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
