A Helpful Guide For Matchmakers

Your friend wants a date and you want to offer a help. If you're thinking of playing matchmaker, it's important to remember and abide by the following rules and pointers:

1. Never set-up a friend with a sex maniac, alcoholic, satan worshiper, drug user, or kleptomaniac. If your normal to somewhat-normal friend sees you again after surviving his/her terrifying date with one, rest assured he or she's got your number and you'll never hear the end of it.

2. Be sure they have something to talk about. Give each person a little bit of information about the other just to get things going in the right direction.

3. Warn your friends beforehand of anything you might feel will irritate or annoy them. If your girlfriend detests smokers and the person you're setting her up with smokes, be sure to tell her. Make sure to mention you think that in spite of whatever it is, they will still get along.

4. Offer to be there to break the ice, if that will make him or her more comfortable. Then leave later on if it seems they're hitting it off. Don't throw two people to the wolves and leave it at that. Be gracious and thoughtful and anticipate their needs, if only for the beginning of their date.

These are some simple tips that might help if your planning to be a matchmaker, and these are very easy to follow. The same principle applies in dating. All you need to do is use a little common sense, and I've seen a video about that which I'm going to be sharing with you. Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean) does the acting well! :) You'll see it on my next post...
