Cupid, draw back your bow.....
This past weekend, Fussy and I introduced two of our friends on a blind date to see if they hit it off.
Let's just say that their date started on Saturday night and didn't end until Monday morning. We haven't been able to get the smile of their faces, and they're planning on spending all of next weekend together too......
Have you ever tried to play cupid with your friends?
How well did it work, or are you a believer that you should let these things run their own course and not get involved?

Yes, tried it.
No, it was a very bad idea.

Don't think we've done it ... but our friends in high school did. My boyfriend arranged with his girlfriend for us to double-date. So, they introduced me to my blind date and we've now been married 42 years. Sometimes it works.

I don't think I've fixed anyone up mainly because that when I was set up myself it ended very badly then again it's hard to be on a double date with a couple that rarely come up for air. For some reason the conversation seems to die right there.

Yes, with excellent results.
We have fixed up 4 couples that got married and 3 are still married after many years.

We introduced my best friend to Mr. IWM's life long friend who have now been married for about 4 years.
But, no I normally don't want to get involved.

Time has taught me that trying to make love happen can be like air-lifting yourselves & your friends into a minefield without a map, but I see nothing wrong with introducing mutual friends in a neutral setting, & watching to see if some little sparks fly...
