Recently I have had a few people I know ask me if I knew someone I could hook them up with... I don’t know about for anyone else but to me this is like the most awkward thing in the world. Number one, I feel like if I even make introductions I am baring too much responsibility for what happens in the future. I mean come on, when it comes to your friends, how well do you really know the other people you know? And honestly when it comes to my male friends, let’s just say that the standards for our friendship are not the same as the standards for dating my sister... So basically I always end up in the same position of saying that everybody that I know isn't worth shit, which is kind of true, I guess but it mostly allows me to stay out of it.
Worse though sometimes is when I have a friend try to hook me up. Or at least it is more scary because then you really need to address who the person trying to hook you up thinks you are and how well do they know you. I mean I have had people try to connect me in ways that they should have known would never work which ends up putting immense strain on our friendship. I mean why exactly would anyone who knows me try to hook me up with a cheap, politically apathetic woman with two kids? Yet this has happened and it leaves me to look slightly cross eyed at who I thought I was cool with.
General rule, if friends express mutual interest and I really don't think that one is a BASTARD, then cool I may make the intro if they are sort of on the same page, but otherwise keep me out of it.
