Are you (and your partner) a product of matchmaking? Have you successfully matched anyone with someone? Or tried to but failed?
Some of our co-workers particularly the higher-ups are playing matchmakers with me and one of my co-workers. We're both single so we're always the subject of teasing and matchmaking. Plus the fact that he seemed to have told some people that he likes me. 
He's not really my type and I just see him as a very good friend but I always find it amusing when the oldies are teasing us especially when I ride on with their efforts on matchmaking. 
Actually, I find it funny. ^^ I just remind myself always that if I ride too much, the guy might think I also like him and I don't want that to happen. ^^

Well, some of my office mates tend to match me up with other single office mates. I find it amusing but when they "try" to match me up with another girl, I tend to get fed up (but of course I hide it). I got out of a steady, serious, 4-year relationship a year ago so my old aunts are trying to match me up with some guys whom they consider as "prospects". There are some but I really haven't found the right one yet :P
I've been wanting to try "Speed Dating". Just once will do :P I just want to experience Speed Dating but I'm too shy to go alone! LOL!!!

AGain? haha I hate match making, especially when i'm the one involved. If i like the girl, i will make sure she knows it and everybody knows it. IN that way, there's no need to hide, and there won't be any awkward moments.. lol My friend tried to match make me once, but it failed because i told them outright about how i go round finding my own love.. lol

Think what he wants to think sweetie, he can only prove if you like him or not if he courted you and not because you are just riding on with teasing. When I was working before, i was the one who tease the love teams in the office. Three of them became a couple because of teasing and one of them are married now, so it is four couples. Teasing is only for fun, if you get develop a feeling, then it is bound to happen that you can be a couple. I think you are riding on just to have fun. Do not let the teasing go deeper in you.

Hi grecy! Yeah, I'm just riding on with their teasing but I don't take it seriously because he's not just my type.
Wow, you're very good in matchmaking! You can be a love guru!

Yes, we were in a club kind of thing where you help children. The leader of the club thought we would make a good pair and kept putting us together on projects. We ended up getting married, so it worked well.

Oh no...I try not to get into the matchmaking. I am always afraid if it doesn't work out, they will blame me.
I might schedule a random meeting but noway I outright try to match make. I have had friends that have tried to match make with me when I was single but I have never really been interested in the people they tried to set me up with.

Me, too! I don't try to matchmake anyone because I don't like to be blamed when it won't work out for them. I might tease people but I will not tell them to get together directly.
I know what you mean! I wonder why friends match you with people that do not fit your taste when in fact, friends should know already your taste! Right??

Oh in fact I have LOL I think it was me and a friend. We wre in grade 7 I believe and there was this guy who was our friend, and this girl who was friends with us too but in different sections. Anyway we were just trying but it worked LOL and after all these years they are still togther it's just so amazing to me coz before, I think they barely knew each other
But I am glad me and my friend did a good job. We deserve nice pats on our backs lol

Yes, that is the danger of it, you don't want to hurt the guy by letting him think he has a chance. Well, I did meet my late husband (of 40 years) at work and the supervisor did some matchmaking and it all worked out very well. Actually, I didn't think he was my type either at first...then I grew up, lol.

MY friend and her husband is going through a matchmaking with their common friends, after 5 years of marriage there are still together living as a happy family life. I dont think is not a bad idea at all. As long you like each other during the meeting and continue to blossom afterwards, Why not give it a try..

I hv ever tried matchmaking a friend with a guy, but it didn't turn out well. So, I don't dare to matchmake anyone ever again.

I did try it but it never worked. Perhaps I am too picky? Perhaps I never found the right guy. Perhaps my situation was not the most great one a partner would like. I do think by now (even if I say I would like that) I am not in the mood anymore and don't have the strengh anymore to be with someone. Also I don't think I will ever trust anyone anymore and I am tired of taking care of someone again.

No, you're not assuming, you just really felt it.
