What you think of match making ? Would you consider it?

A very good friend has been single for so long, it's worrying. She's cute ,soft spoken, hardworking & shy. Ya that's the thing, too shy. When people at work ask her out, she'll give the excuse of "we shouldn't mix work with personal affairs". But since when do anyone follow that rule right? Well she does.

As friends, we try to set her up with people we know. But we always thought the guys we know are not good enough for her. Are we being too protective? Maybe we are.

Then someone suggest she try professional matchmaking. Truth is ,these days the stigma that: "match making is only for the desperate" has long been debunked. Now people have no time for small talk anymore, so match making makes sense. Plus these agencies can actually screen out jerks as they do background checks on all potential suitors. Probably better than us friends. Just look at the frequency of our own 'break-ups' with our ex-boyfriends, show that our judgement on guys are not as good as we had hope for ...lol...

Well we kinda stage an intervention via whatsapp naturally, & we finally came to a conclusion. Another friend from our group will join her in joining a matchmaking agency. Since this other girl has just gotten out of a 2 yr old relationship & is totally not trusting her own taste in men anyway ....lol....

What happened next was a shock to us. There were so many match making agencies to choose from. Which only means it's more common than we think. It's probably the trend now. Well that's like 2 months back. And to date, both of them had gone out on about 2 dates each. Will update on their progress once I interrogate them ....lol....

...LOL...
