How can I be matchmaker, I need some tips... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships10 months ago

One of my friend will soon be 35 and she's still single, she'd broke up with her bf a year ago. Her mother called me and ask for my help to be the matchmaker she said please.. several times, while I don't have any idea how to, ...sigh.
It's not that she's ugly, she's okay and she had a lot of friends, a lot more than I have. She's already at friendster, myspace and facebook. She's a warm and friendly person.
I don't know how to start since I'm not working so I didn't meet a lot of men to introduce to her. What do you do if you're me?, please share some tips.. I really need one. Thanks in advance.

Is she happy being single or does she want to be married? That's what you need to answer first. If she's happy the way she is, leave her alone.

Does your husband have any friends at work that would be interested in someone like your friend? You'll have to know all about them in order to decide if it is a good match. Then ask them if they would like to date a woman like your friend--if they are looking. Many men just want to be single.

Good luck and I hope that whatever happens, your friend is very happy!


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

Thanks for the response dear, she's not that happy, she did want to get married. I've already asked my husband about his co-workers but he said none of them are available or suitable for her. I do hope she'll find her soulmate soon.

Hi HiLia, since your friend is so sociable and knows lots of friends, as well as what you have said she is not ugly as well, so I think she won't feel any difficulty to find a new one later. You better tell her mother the truth that you are only a housewife and of course you don’t have much opportunity to meet suitable male friends to introduce to her daughter.

You have to explain to her mom as well to give her some more time. May be her daughter still needs some time to forget all those past sweet time to heal her broken heart. Sometimes it really needs more than a year or so to readjust her former life which she used to stay together with her old flame to be as normal again.

It is really a torture to promise someone whatever thing which is not within our ability to deal with. I believe you would feel at ease again. It is as easy and simple by just telling her the truth.

Happy happy posting and take care.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

Her mother knew me, that I didn't work anymore but I think she's just so desparated with her daughter haven't married yet. My friend was her only child, her only hope. She didn't expect me to come up with the ideal husband for her daughter, she'll be happy if I introduce some of my relatives but I don't have one that available. Thanks lkbooi, maybe a need some more time to figure how can I help her. Thanks my dear friend.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (7009)   ranked 4,157 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

Or you could try to ask your husband to do some help this. I believe his colleagues or friends might have brothers, relatives or neighbors who might be suitable to be her friends. What the most important thing is to have more friends first she then could have more choices to pick an ideal one to be her partner. I understand why her mom trusts you and depends lot on you, for she believes that all your friends are as good as you thumbup


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

That's also difficult because my husband is really a quiet type. It's very hard for him to speak about such problem with his friends. Like I said he's been giving me a dead end on this matter^_^.. Thank you dear for your sincerity, I know you're really trying to help. I really appreciate your suggestions.

I don't think I can give you some tips with this, HiLia! But as you said, your friend is very sociable, so she probably has no problem meeting people. She may be just need some time or maybe haven't seen or met the right one yet. And maybe your Husband can help you with this, he may have some single co-workers. Good luck and I hope things goes well. happy


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

She haas no problem meeting people but the they're not the available ones, lol... I've already asked my husband about his co-workers but he give me a dead-end. Thanks for wishing me luck CJay and for the response, it's very sweet of you.

Hi Hilia! In fact friends of your country can help in this regard. Yes I have seen there are a lot of Indonesian friends in Friendsgear.net. Indonesian friends can really help you.

Hilia I have 01 question to you. If you answer, I would be happy. Still I am confused. Is there any recognized rule/social recognition like western countries to live together with bf/gf? Have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

I haven't heard of Friendsgear.net, I will tell her about it. She didn't live together with her ex-bf, if you're curious about it. She live with her mother and she's her only child that's why her mother sounds so desperate. We still live by the eastern social rules. Not only living together is forbidden by our religion, but people will judge it bad either. Thanks a lot for the info aminul, I hope you won't be confused anymore,^_^....

Hi Lia,



To be honest with you I wouldn't bother as its her life and its up to her for finding her own b/f, she is old enough to that by herself and if you do find her one and she don't like him, then she will blame you for it. Love anbd hugs.


Tamara


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

I've asked her about it and she said she'll be happy if I could introduce her with someone, whether she's gonna like it or not. She will understand that I'm just trying to help, so I'm sure that she won't blame me. I hope she'll find her soulmate soon. Thanks for the response dear. Hugs from all of us for you Tamara.

If you perchance know of someone that she would be interested in and that he would be interested in her, then introduce them. If you don't know of someone all you can do is wait until you do meet someone to introduce her too. You can just keep it in mind, but no need to go out of your way to find her a date.

I am sure she is able to find a bf for herself.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

That's the problem, I haven't found that someone yet. Yes I'm waiting and I hope she'll be able to find for herself. Thanks MaryLynn, so glad to hear from you.


myLot reputation of 98/100. MaryLynn321 (479)   ranked 2,291 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

Hi Mim, Don't worry, it will happen when you least expected. When you aren't looking.

Good luck to you.

I'd not get involved if I were you. It almost never works out long term. If it is meant to be that your friend have someone in her life then it will happen. Interference from you or anyone will not make it last. I can only think that it would be bad to do this. My mom was set up and she married him after knowing him for 3 months. She stayed married to him for 10 years.. but he cheated on her a lot... so it doesn't work.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

What can I do, I just can't say no to her mother. I guess I have to try harder and I hope she'll find for herself soon. Thanks for the response kimberlynnF, it's very nice of you.

Hello HiLia! All I can say is that don't pressure your self in being a match maker. I mean you can help her if you can but if you can't then it's ok. I believe if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. You said she is warm and friendly so I am pretty sure that with that characteristics she has, it's easy for her to find the man who will love her.

I don't even like to match make because I don't want to be blame if the relationship won't work out.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

I know she'll understand if I can't come up with a good result. It's just I want to help her, I want her to be happy. I do hope she'll find the right man for herself. Thanks for the response my dear. Have a great weekend.

I suggest she may be also joined tagged website to meet new people and she may also go out more often to be able to meet guys who are single too. You may also call some of your female friends who had male single friends whom they recommend to meet her. I hope I had help you in some way.


myLot reputation of 100/100. HiLia2008 (2197)   ranked 456 out of 23,354 in relationships  10 months ago

Thanks for the ideas, maybe I can talk to some of my neighbors, who knows... Thanks a lot feathers26, it's very nice of you.
