Playing Cupid

This weekend I was doing some volunteer work when a very attractive (single!) man sat down next to me to help out. We were only doing paperwork for a couple of hours or so, but during this time we managed to fit in some very personal topics of conversation—family, faith, life plans — as well as the usual introductory info. This guy was incredibly personable, had a great job and was over his partying stage of life. And by the end of our conversation I knew…I wanted to set him up with my roommate. (I know what you’re thinking here; if he’s so great, Bella, jump on it! But trust me—we’re not a match.)

So this month I’m on a mission to set these two up in a non-date environment. (There are details here I won’t go into, but basically I don’t want my roomie to pass judgment on this guy before she really gets to know him.) I’m simply going to invite him to some group activities during which they can see if sparks fly or not. And if not, nobody has to deal with any awkwardness.

Have you ever been successfully set up by one of your friends? Have you ever successfully set a couple up? I always think this kind of stuff seems like a long shot, but I know a married couple that met on a blind date! So it does happen occasionally!

How well do you know your friends? Well enough to pick out a date for them? Well enough to find them a potential contender? How well do you think your friends know your romantic preferences?

Are marrieds or singles better at setting people up? Does being married give people a different perspective or more wisdom when it comes to this sort of thing?

Morning I usually don’t even try to play Cupid but i did just recently introduce my handsome, single, successful brother to a very nice co-worker of mine and i think it’s going to work out and turn into something special :) Have a great day bloggers!

Morning All!! I dont particularly like playing cupid, I will introduce people only (A this is B, B this is A). After that you are on your own, dont ask me anything about the person b/c I will not tell, period. As far as being set up, cant say I am big on that either. I have had someone say that a friend thought I was cute but I take it from there if I am interested.

Morning…can’t stay long today. UGH! Stinks when you work for yourself and you can’t blame your workload on “Tha Man!” LOL!

I turned in my cupid arrow a long time ago. Ironically, I wasn’t too bad at setting people up. But, when they started having problems, I was also the one that got blamed. You can tell grown folks to handle their own business until you’re blue in the face…but everybody needs someone to blame when it all goes to crap. Anyway…I had a rule that my friends were not allowed to set me up. They always…and I mean always got it wrong. Disaster! But, I relaxed that rule for a while, thinking we’d all mellowed with age, and perhaps their choices and I would be better suited for each other. WRONG! Even my mother got it WRONG! LOLOL!! And since I really hate it when my friends don’t know how to set up and back off, I have implemented the rule once again.

Nay Nay, Stay Away…Stoopid Cupids!

I’ve never been successfully set up. This is the usual result: they never ask the guy whether or not he is available or even wants to be set up. They tell me how great he is and get me hyped about meeting him, and it either never comes to fruition or he knows nothing about me or the setup, so he’s lukewarm.

I hate it when folks get me interested in meeting their friend, but then never follow through, citing that they are too busy living their own lives to get us together. I’m like, you were not too busy to bring it up in the first place! What is up with that??

Good morning everyone. I have played cupid on many occasions in the past. I know my “true” friends taste in men very well. My bow and arrow is a bit dusty, and I plan on keeping it that way. So no, I don’t play cupid and don’t want anyone to play cupid with me.

How well do you know your friends? Well enough to pick out a date for them?

I know my friends well, and yes, I have hooked them up before and they liked the men a lot. However, they ALWAYS messed it up somehow. They have such STRONG personalities that it would take a very special man to be with them. Now I just let them find their own.

How well do you think your friends know your romantic preferences?

They know what I’m looking for, what I’m about, and my personality, so I think that they could be successful in selecting someone that I may click with. Just no follow through, that’s all.

Morning bloggers.

I’ve hooked up a few partners of mine. One even got married and had kids. Unfortunately they recently got divorced. I’m pretty good at putting people together but hate when you have to referee their relationship. If any of you bloggers need the hookup let me know. LOL

And here I thought it was only me.

I was involved in one setup in my adult life, and I was the sounding board for both of them when the relationship went bad.

When I knew he was cheating and couldn’t tell her, (Man Law) I felt morally compromised and promised to never be involved in it again.

Lawd Foots let the church say, Amen! This is yet, another reason, why I don’t let friends play cupid. Another one I’ve fallen victim to…twice…is the friend who wants to set me up w/ this “great guy”…who they later ended up marrying!! It’s like buying a Christmas gift: you buy the people you care about a gift that you’d also like to have. Except, they kept the gifts. LOL!

Hey Truth. Please don’t boo me on this. I know you guys are ready for some football. I think it’s an interesting sport, but don’t really understand it. I have never, ever been to a football game of any type. The ball is so dang small and the men are so dang big that sometimes I just don’t know who has the ball. I know better than to ask for play by play from the men watching the football because I understand you guys are in your element and really don’t want to be bothered. From what I’ve witnessed over the years, there are really only 3 things you guys want (1) chicken wings, (2) cold beer, and (3) a naked (silent) woman to walk by @ halftime.

What happening folks:

I don’t do the cupid deal, I have been set up before and it was a success, but I never attempt to play cupid myself. I refuse to be responsible for other people’s problems when the couple splits, as most relationships do. Don’t want my name attached to the debacle.

Been super busy this week. How are you lovely ladies today?

What is the Business Truth? Signed A Fan

To the ladies, remember the movie, The Brothers? Where the quote is: “if a man will let you have that last chicken wing, you know he loves you?”

Same can be said for football, and sports in general. A man would love to help you learn the art of the game, and if he truly digs you, it’ll be on a Sunday during one featuring his favorite team.

Bad hookup story:

My friend did hook me up with a guy at her job once. We talked on the phone for about two weeks, then went on our first date. I liked what I was hearing enough to meet him in person. We met at a restaurant for dinner. When our food arrived, he prayed over our food, asking the Lord to “bless this new relationship”. I’m like, oh how sweet…crazy, but sweet. And he goes on and on about all of the fun things we could do together. He seemed so excited to finally meet up. Anyway, we went to the movies (which he fell asleep during) and afterwards, we went back to our cars, we hugged, and told each other goodnight.

He called before I left the parking lot and we talked for another 3 hours about EVERYTHING. Brotha was just bouncing off the walls happy! (this is the guy that mistakenly sent me a picture of his peeda, but that’s another story.) We got off the phone at 3AM with plans for another date for the next day.

Well… he didn’t call back until about three months later. By this point in my life, I’m pretty used to the “Oh, my God, I’ve finally found the woman I’ve been looking for! / Now I’m Houdini!!” scenario. I just assume that they found the next one they have been looking for the day after. But he told me he had been seeing a psychiatrist for grief issues. WTF? We never spoke again after that.

I didn’t ever ask my friend about him anymore, but I did give her a few laughs about the experience as a whole.

What’s my fine for the long post?? I can take it…

Official MLB Announcement…

Dan gets a special commendation and tip of the Hennessy glass from the MLB Council for his adherence to one of, if not the toughest MLB Statute: Boys will be Boys.

I say this because, as Lady Karma, with her sick sense of humor, would have it, you’re usually withholding info from a girl you secretly really wanna be with to protect a guy who you may not even like that much… Knowing that if you told, you’d lose them both cuz she wouldn’t believe yo azz anyways…

No way, I will never set up a friend with another chick exception given to my own sister or a relative… I have a lot of respect for my friends to set them up with what I think is incompatible with me (under my social class or w/ different principle). If I value a lady that much I will try to put my hooks on. If a friend ask me to hook him (her) up…that’s another story. I don’t play lottery and the same way don’t try to guess what my buddy may like or want ….because if I real know better, I probably would have set up Sir Elton John with Senator Larry Craig

You know Bella…..I used to think every single person I knew needed to be married, myself being one of them. I’m actually quite happy being single. I think, for me, the way Woody Allen & Mia Farrow had their households set up (they had seperate apartments but waved to one another and visited for intimate reasons) is great! (minus the marrying your wife’s adopted daughter of course).

I think in the age of internet dating, etc…. matchmaking in person is a great resource for people who may not otherwise meet. So go for it.

I’ve matched up several friends along the past decade….. none have actually gone past 2 dates I think. It’s a gamble. At some point it ‘might’ work out. But that’s the numbers game with any and all dating venues. It’s a numbers game. But..the more you are exposed to the better chance you have of finding ‘the one’.

Cheers!

Just remember the one time someone fixed me up he forgot to mention or didn’t know the guy was married, and i don’t go there. The guy himself said about his wife “she’s in NY” knowing I thought he meant she LIVED there, not just visiting for the weekend. Once dated a newly-single guy who all my married friends thought was hot and wanted to fix him up with THEIR single friends…WTF? for some reason people seem to think a single guy needs to be fixed up (or maybe they were jut getting vicarious pleasure) and single women can take care of themselves… on the football subjects, I stay out of town when we have a home game…who cares!

@Foots

Do you one better. Shout out to Jake too.

So my friend meets a girl in da club. They don’t hit it off so he gives her my number. She calls we go out, and then yada, yada, yada.

Between yada and yada, there were apparently stronger feeling for me from her than I had for her. You can guess what comes next….stalker.

Showing up where I am, at the house, in the club, wherever, whenever, she was there.

The illest part about it, (after filing the restraining order of course) is that the friend that set us up, ended up trying to get after the yada, yada, yada.

As my roommate is giving bog brother all the reasons he should date our friend, big brother says he wants to date my roommate. My roommate like a dumbazz then asks our friend (whom she was playing cupid for) is she minded if roommate went out with big brother. I know, I know…mess! Well roommate and big brother dated for two years and it was constant tension the whole time b/w them and my friend. True Story

I am happily married to a wonderful man that my best friend set me up with 7 years ago. She had been telling me about this guy for a year (he was a professional acquaintance of hers)and our schedules were too hectic to pull something together. Finally, she put together a “bunch of friends meeting in a bar” and invited him. I knew I was going to be meeting him but he knew nothing about me. She also had a couple of other single girlfriends there but she knew that he and I would hit it off. We did and the rest is history. I do have to say though that my best friend is like a soul-sister. We think alike and she knows me better than I sometimes know myself so I trusted her judgement completely.

You give me everything, my heart need not repent, Cause when you’re making love with me, it says more than I thought it meant

Sure enough to know, when love is this good, I just can’t let it go/Wanna do all that I should to give sweet love to you, So just let me know, IS IT GOOD TO YOU? ………

Girl, you make things right when you lay me down to rest, all day long I work so hard and I come home to the best

Take me up so high, I’m never coming down til you’ve had enough/Wanna squeeze ya baby, wanna give you something

Love you everywhere, you’re minding every pause/Baby, I’m so glad I’m the one you chose/Want you to feel like I feel, got to be feeling real

Got to make it good to you …… To keep you satisfied is my heart’s first consent, I love the way you love me and I’m more than well content

I’m hooked on a feeling I can only get when I’m inside your love. Oh, baby, just listen…

Ooohhh, nowhere on this earth or even in this lifetime will I find another worth the treasure I’ve found in you, so whatever it takes…

I’ll do it just to make it good to you

Foots - How did you know that is one of my FAVORITE songs!!! I have not heard it in a long time! I am going to go home and pull it out!

I am late reading the blog today, but I feel you on the 9:17 post. I recently had a friend tell me about this guy her boyfriend wanted me to meet. My friend and her boyfriend have good taste and are cool, so I trusted their judgement. They kept whining around about how they did not know how they were going to introduce us and finally I consented to let him give the guy my number so we could chat. He said the guy was going to call me that weekend. That was a month ago. Finally, my friend tried to give me the guy’s number and get me to call him. I told her it was obvious the guy either was already involved or just was not interested, so no way was I calling him! Her boyfriend later found out he already has a girlfriend! Duh, did you ask him that in the beginning?!

Yes, I am ready for football too!!! I’m a GA Bulldog and diehard Falcon fan, in spite of the issues!

Jake, damn you’re good, and I don’t mind saying this, but I’m right across the street from Popular Springs Church. Girl, bring that Salsa and chips on. I’ll also serve Ranch Chicken Wings (absolutely scrumptious).

kimmie Pull it out, girl! And put on the blue light! That song just makes you want to take a co-worker to the nearest IT computer configuration room!! Why don’t we have any FINE co-workers up in this camp?? LOL! I know a dude that has a moustache that looks like Scotty from the Whispers.

I have no idea why they don’t get the basics before trying to hook folks up. They could just ask each person something general like “Are you seeing anybody? If you had the chance, would you like to meet somebody? Are you still seeing that psychiatrist?” before telling anybody about anyone specific.

Another GA fan!!! YAY!! Did you go to GA too? (I’m BSAE - Class of 1999)

Staceye, you’re welcome to come over as well. Hey ladies, one Sunday why don’t you guys come to my house and help me with this football thing. We can have drinks and food w/o the guys. Or is that having the guys there watching football makes it better. Hell, IDK!

First let me say this,

For the most part, we are all mature adults here, but ladies, watching a football game without men is like us going to see a Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks movie without you. It’s just not done.

But should you so choose, you ladies have a nice time, and fella’s this being Atlanta and all, I’m sure there’s more than a few locals where we can watch the game, and get some of that action that SexyLeggs spoke about earlier this morning.

Dan, I must admit watching football with male input has its benifits. But what in paticular are you thinking the women would not understand about the game itself if the men are not around?

Jake I frequent Lenox from time to time, not an everyday-er but I get there, always before Friday.

Dan Me and couple of my girls get together and watch football/basketball from time to time. You have to understand, it IS a bunch of men playing these sports, so the watching taking place is far more than just the game!! LOL

Okay kimmie… The category is UGA Graduates for 100 points: Finish this statement… “Goooooo Dawgs, Sic Em! _________!!!” LOL!!

Bonus question for 1000 points: Where did you first learn this chant??

Cemeeli You could definitely practice floor work at home, at least it helps you with fluidity and transition into other moves. I would LOVE to teach! A sista needs a second check here and there.

4Real Okay, you silly too. You made me switch from The Whispers to Tony Toni Tone.

Foots is now listening to that 62 minute long Anniversary song. She doesn’t quite understand how she can leave her iPod on for her whole commute and it’s still on the same dayum song when she get’s home…

Colts win by a field goal, after a 4th quarter fumble by Reggie Bush…you heard it here first.

@Cemeeli.

I didn’t say there was anything you all wouldn’t understand, but as Ms. Mo stated the game isn’t the only thing you all are watching, and to that respect, go head and do the thang.

I was merely referring to the socialized rituals of men and women.

@Jake

If you think they look good at Lenox, try the stampede of babes down here on Peachtree near 10th street.

Noon is like the running of the bulls (only with tight skirts, high heels, and weave)!

And no offense intended to anyone “it’s yours if you bought it.”

Musing you gotta be kidding! LMAO

Sexxyleggs Jake will be the naked man with his tool belt walking around for us during the football game. Then he will take turns with For Real, Musing, Dan, GA Man, Blatino and Gorilla…every first down one of them will come out butt naked in Tims serving us chicken wings while the song, “There’s Some Ho’s in this House” plays!

I didn’t go to UGA, but was a big fan in high school. Got in, but my parents decided they didn’t want me to hang out w/ all those folks I went to HS w/…so instead I went to UNC. Go Heels Go! I loooooooove Athens, though! Spent many a Saturday in Sanford Stadium…(sniff sniff). Those were the days!

Still love those Bulldogs!
