Michele The Matchmaker?

Some people enjoy playin Cupid. I am not one of those people. So, recently when my friend Debra asked me to set-her-up with my oh-so-sexy neihbour I quickly refused. However, yesterday the same  neihbour invited me to a  patio party he is  havin next weekend.  Of course I quickly accepted and asked him if I could invite one of my friends. He replied. "of course, would it happen to be the  beautiful blonde that drives the red Mini Cooper?" 

Later today I must call Debra and invite her to a patio party. She  has a full week to colour her hair and  trade in her Jeep for a cute little car.

Hmm, this Cupid thin is easy.

Are you ood at playin matchmaker or do you simply refuse to set-up friends?

Michele I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you write posts that show your wit. Please do more of them. Can I come to the oh-so-sexy guy's party because where there is one there is more?

You know my track record when it comes to matchmaking. You once suffered my matchmaking. LOL

[cassie-b]

Best of luck in your cupid role. I've never been very good at it.

Have a great weekend - Long weekend.

I'll only do it if they ask me to. Otherwise, it's more obnoxious than unsolicited advice.

[panthergirl]

Oh DO tell her!! I had a cop stop me just to say how gorgeous my MINI Cooper is! ;)

[JJJJB]

I often roam the streets wearing nothing but a diaper and carrying a bow and arrow. It has nothing to do with match making. It's just a hobby.

[caspar]

Men rarely get to play this Cupid-ish sort of game, mostly due to the fact that there seem to 100 wonderful women available to meet every barely passable man.

Without getting into a major trashing of my gender, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Were did all the guys go? Things didn't seem like this when I was unmarried, so why is it like this now?

[Raehan]

So, who was the blonde with the red car, then? Was that Connie?

[Blue]

Well...my male friends like hanging out with me since they claim that they always meet attractive women when they are around me. So I stopped hanging around my male friends so that I can get the attractive women. And what is it about women in the area that I am now, they tell me I am too intellectual or, and I love this one, "you are just too smart". How the F can someone be too smart....

OK I will stop the rant...back to the normal nuttiness

[True Jersey Girl]

I have tried, and it never works out. So I have hung up my cupid wings.

[Allie]

Have tried many times but it doesn't succeed everytime though... so I just give up in then end, because I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings in the game.
I wish my friends would play the Cupid Game with me now though... I'm single... and looking... hahaha!

[Sol]

Never. If it ends I don't want any part of the blaming cycle so I skip it.

[Michele]

Connie...Yes, I blame you for what shall always be considered the date from hell. Remind me, why ae we still friends?

Cas...Thank you, and welcome. You are new, yes?

QC...I HATE when friends tried to set me up. (waving to Connie)

Panthergirl....YOU suit a Mini Cooper, and yes that is a compliment. A police officer also pulled me over several weeks ago to offer a compliment on my ability ot not come ot a full stop at a stop sign. He even gave me a lovely warning...so there!

JJJJB....So that was you? You could have said hello.

Caspar....From this side of the gender I simply want ot know...how's Wendy?

Raehan....No Connie has black hair and drives a "my-ex-lover-was-rich" blue car. Yes, that is what she calls her car. The blonde with the red Mini Cooper is my married friend Claudia.

Blue....You are certainly not NOT smart. You are not TOO smart. You are JUST RIGHT. (this message was brought to you by Michele's friend Goldilocks.

True Jersey Girl....Could you please offer hang up the wings intsructions to a few of my friends...because they are beginning ot annoy a few of my other friends.

Allie....Have you met Blue? Oops, there I go again.

Sol...YOU are a wise woman.

Golfwidow....That is so very true. (waving again ot Connie...who SHOULD not be able to wave back due to loss of hands).

I've never played matchmaker. I leave that to forces greater than my own. However, my sons and their best friend tried to set up me and their father for years and I refused to have anything to do with it. Five years ago I finally met him when our sons were in a car accident. Two weeks ago we celebrated our third wedding anniversary. Kids... who knew they could actually know what they were talking about!

[Michele]

rugdesigner...Oh. My. Goodness. I love that story...thank you. Now, let me go find a few children to help out my friends.

[SEV]

loved the concept of matchmaking according your logic.. dunno if u'll get what i'm referring to though.

[kenju]

I am no good at it and thankfully, I am never asked anymore. My good friend matched me with my husband, however, so I know some people are very good at it!

[tanya]

I helped with a matchmaking once, only in the sense of giving a good friend the phone number/email of another good friend's best friend (yes, we were setting them up).

They got married and it's been swell for them.

ON the whole? I'd probably do it very rarely. But most of my friends have no interest in being set up, and I never push it. :)

[Janet]

Let's see...the one couple I fixed up went on to marry...and then divorce!

[christine]

I would if I were asked. Otherwise, I'd MYOB.

[kimbofo]

I played cupid with two work colleagues a couple of years back. I am happy to report, despite a false start, that they are getting married this coming July.

[Shaar]

No, no cupid playing for me.

[ms. mac]

I don't have enough friends to set up!

But you gave me a giggle!

[Cara]

It's been many years since I've matched up anyone. But one of the couples that I did match up got married and have been married for 13 years.

[maryse]

i'm a beautiful blonde who drives a red mini cooper. ok ... the truth is i'm an average look brunette who drives a red mini cooper and i'm married.

my cupid playing is limited to introducing people very casually and letting nature take it's course.

[Betsy]

I have one successful match, made long long long ago.

I then figured I'd stop while I had a 100% track record...

[Bridget Unnel]

I think the risk of a match going south and having both parties blame you far outweighs any benefit that may come from helping two halves of the perfect couple find each other. Call me selfish! I am NOT a matchmaker.

[Bob]

Everyone that I know that is single, deserves to be that way and the thought of wrecking another perfectly good friendship by introducing one of them is out of the question. ;)

[Marie]

I don't know if I've ever been the match-er, though I was the match-ee plenty of times!!! They were all duds. Some friends I have! It wasn't til I played matchmaker for myself that I met my hubby! So glad he decided to answer that ad!!

[Andrea]

I suck at it, so I do not even try.

[Mommak]

I stopped 2 years ago after a fiasco resulted from setting up my sister with a good friend. It caused issues that we are still dealing with today.

So, no, I cut myself off.

[Dingo]

No, I don't want to take the responsibility for bad matches.

[Shane]

Knowing who I know, I think match-making would be a bad idea all round. The only time I was ever set-up served to show how little the match-maker knew of me. *Shakes his head at the memory*

[annie]

We have a single friend who is always asking us to set him up. My husband keeps trying to, he has someone in mind but has not got them to meet. I'm sure it will not work out, cuz this guy is fine in short bursts but more than a couple hours and he starts to annoy me.

When he asks ME if I have any single friends, I tell him the truth; "I don't have any friends!"

[sleepingmommy]

That is hilarious. I've set up friends with my stepbrothers before. In the end the first friend that dated my middle stepbrother late became my sisterinlaw but only because I married her brother. The next friend I set up with my oldest stepbrother (although she had a thing with the middle one too) and she became my sisterinlaw by marrying my oldest stepbrother.

I like to make my really close friends into sisters. I have one stepbrother left unmarried, anyone interested?

[toni]

Oh golly I refuse setting friends up. I don't want to be held responsible if those things don't work out.
