How often do people have their friends set them up on dates ?

[madmarten]

I was just thinking about this. People often say have your friends introduce you to someone. But I have never had any of my friends set me up on a date ever. Of course they new I was single and looking...humm

Btw I have set my friends upon at least several occasions.

i think its the best way to meet someone compared to online/blind ect...

 

the best girl ive ever met was through my mates

I'm sure my friend would only take her for himself.

have you asked them if they know any singles? don't just wait around for it to happen.

I met my (now ex) wife through friends.

It's a good way to meet new people with the stress of a one on one date.

Of course I asked them if they knew anybody.

At first, I'm inclined to say that I would NEVER have friends set me up on a date. But since I am bored, I would consider it. The only problem is the conflict-of-interest that may come from such an arrangement; I don't want anyone expecting anything out of the date except that it will be a "date". Yet nevertheless people often do put more expectations on it, especially if they have a vested interest in seeing the date a "success".

 

Yes, I guess the only time when I would have a friend arrange a date for me is when I'm bored and when that friend has earned my trust already. Dating can be too sensitive, even though it shouldn't be, and "entangling alliances" between "friends" "dates" can make things worse.
