I think most of us have played matchmaking roles by hooking up friends, colleagues etc. No matter if our friend is a nerd or ugly-betty we make sincere efforts to find common grounds, even if there are none.
This happened few years back when my friend just got divorced and we were trying to hook him up with a suitable girl. It happened that coincidentally a mother of one of our friend was looking for a suitable match for a co-worker. As she found out of the empty slot she immediately pushed forward the girls phone number to my friend. Seeing a glimpse of raindrops over a parched land, he fell for the bait.
Well the next day he received a call from this girl, she sound sweet, but she spoke very slow as if she had a prompter. Anyway the old lady followed up the same day like any dedicated matchmaker and fixed a date for them. My friend went for the date during the lunch time, all dressed up. An hour later he came back, very mad - what happened I asked ? Man that old lady, what she thinks I am? Mother Teresa of dating world - that girl was fat as a hippo, ugly like hell, instead of eyebrows she had a line drawn with a pencil, her hair had a florescent highlighter and as it was not enough - she can't speak English. "I felt as if two dumb people were having conversation" he said.
I asked how you managed to run away, he said as soon he saw her there was a call - it was as if god was following his thoughts. He said "Oh I am so sorry, that was my boss, we have an emergency". Knowing him I knew that phone call was a life saver.
Some tips on how to ditch a bad date.
