Coli Consensus on Matchmaking?

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

I've never been set up however I've set two other couples up.

One got as far as engagement

The other got a baby out the deal (making me God mother of course)

I'd say my skills are great but I wouldn't ever allow someone else to set me up.

Recently, 2 of my coworkers:

#1 white girl, married. Wanted to hook me up with her husbands friend. I said hell no, because he just got out of jail. When I say he'd just gotten out of jail, it was like days after he got out. But also, he's friends with my coworker's husband knowing that he has referred to black people as n!@@3rs (hard R) How can you as a black man be beasties with someone that's called some black men n!@@3rs? But she told me the other days that he's "on the run" because he had a dirty urine (they've been popping mollies) and his parole officer is looking for him.

#2 black woman, Jehovah's Witness. She's been telling me about her son for a while. Wanting to hook us up, because he "needs someone like" me (aka someone that has their shyt together, so he can get his together). He is not a jehovas witness, he doesn't have kids, and he's a basketball player. I was with it because he's cute. BUT, he probably isn't single (there's a girl on his fb making kissy faces), and she hasn't said anything to him yet. :Adele_nah:

You dodged a bullet with #1 lol. Is #2 college or pro?

My uncle's girl halfway jokes about it on some "I got someone for you" and I just be like "No you don't "

One of my friends kept tryna put me on some some stripper broad or have 2 on 2s with them but of course that never happened.

Is it considered pro if he's not in the NBA?

Why not?

all the women other women in my family would recommend had me like

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

Yeah, he could probably be playing overseas or something.

 

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

Why not?

I don't have a type however I don't have chemistry with just everybody.

It would be a waste of time.

 

[Fun Sized Psycho]

I don't think he's playing for one specific team. I know he is currently overseas. I think he'll be playing for a team for 4 or 5 months. He's been to upstate NY, Miami, and Canada in the past year. He's been in the U.K. Formlike 2 or 3 weeks, I think

This!!!


Also, no one seems to be able to find a proper match for me anyway.

Hell when I was younger I had to hop the fence and steal my podnas car to getaway from a booger-wolf that my podnas wife was tricking me into hooking up with at a "get together"

sidenote: I don't match well with anyone so I give up

I feel your pain my friend.

A coworker tried to set me up with a chick once. Talked to her for a bit. Not only was she not interested, but she was stuck on some dude, and she was one his (apparently many) side chicks.

Breh sounds legit ma...or at least he about to be. You might find Ms. Facebook to be a formidable foe though

Would it be your fault or the matchmakers fault if you did?

It doesn't have to be anybody's fault, necessarily. If it goes badly, though, there is the possibility that the matchmaker will be blamed by the daters or the matchmaker could blame the dater. For example, if your good friend sets you up with one of his good friend, or his family member, things could become tense between you guys. If your relationship goes extremely left, you may feel some type of way about he person who set you up to be in this relationship in the first place.

My Mom's a nurse. She was working with this other nurse. She was my age, goin back to school because she wanted to be a doctor. Raising her sister, soft spoken, No boyfriend. My mom told me she would call her "daughter in law". When she told me that, i said give that bytch my number. My mom said nah, She wont help me waste that girls time

I understand not liking it if the person trying to make a match is unreasonable or places your relationship *on the line* if the match fails, but other than that, I think its a positive thing.

There are a lot of really good people out there who don't know what they're worth or don't know where to find someone. Sometimes having someone close to you that knows you well can help you get what you want - if anything, you'll get a better feel for how others think about you just based on the matches that you get.
