Re: A Set Up Poll

  • Have you ever been set up?Yes. Did it work out?Definitely not.   If so, who set you up?My uncle.   Have you ever set anyone up?Yes, I like to play matchmaker. Did it work out?Yes- I'm really good at it. Where are they now?Let's see:My sorority sister/ former suitemate and Kirk's fraternity brother/ former suitemate are getting married on 11/11/11My sorority sister and Kirk's former roommate are getting engaged this spring (he's ring shopping!)My best friend is moving to CA to move in with Kirk's best friend in May.What made you think they were compatible? Personality mostly.  All 3 of these couples share LOTS of characteristics.  I'm setting up a couple (my coworker and a college friend) tomorrow night and I'm sort of nervous about it because I don't know her as well as I know the other couples I've set up, so I can't be as sure of the success of this meet up.

    Did it work out? - For one couple it did!

    Where are they now? - They are married with a baby on the way.

    What made you think they were compatible? - Because they had similar interests, and similar values, and I knew the girl thought the guy was hot.

    Have you ever been set up?

    Yep. My H and I were set up.

    We've been together 4 years and married for a year and a half, so I'd say so :)

    If so, who set you up?

    My friend from high school and his childhood friend. They were dating at the time.

    Have you ever set anyone up?

    A few friends.

    Did it work out?

    For more than one couple, yes.

    Where are they now?

    One couple is still dating.

    What made you think they were compatible? 

    They liked the same bands and were both really outgoing.

  • Have you ever been set up?

    Kind of?  Once I told my friend I thought one of her guy friends was cute, and she immediately became obsessed with the fact that we would be perfect together. 

    Did it work out?

    Negative.  There was zero chemistry, which made the three months that we 'dated' feel like a lifetime. 

    If so, who set you up?

    See above. 

    Have you ever set anyone up?

    No, although I'm constantly on the lookout for one of Dusty's friends.  I think he's awesome and he deserves somebody equally awesome. 

    Did it work out?

    N/A 

    Where are they now?

    N/A 

    What made you think they were compatible? 

    N/A, although I'm looking for a single girl on the nerdy side.

  • Have you ever been set up? not exactly. My friend told Clint's friend that I had asked if he were single, so Clint emailed me, but that time it didn't work out.

    Have you ever set anyone up? one of my friends and Clint's best friend, who met at our wedding.

    Did it work out? not at all! He apparently spazzed and literally ran away on their second encounter, which was with a group of us, and hasn't talked to her since.

    Where are they now? Not speaking, she's nicknamed him "piece of sh!t", and I'm still kind of annoyed with him.

    What made you think they were compatible? similar interests, plus she liked him when she met him, and he asked about whether she was still living here when he was in the process of moving here. It all seemed really promising.

  • Have you ever been set up? ~ Yes..I went out to dinner with a guy my best friend thought I'd hit it off with

    Did it work out? ~ Not particularly. He was a nice enough guy, just no real chemistry. And then later that year he started calling my sister. They didn't hit it off either.

    If so, who set you up? ~ My best friend

    Have you ever set anyone up? ~ Mm..no, I don't think so. Unless you include telling my single friends "Hey, you should make out with that guy, he's hot"

  • My cousin and her husband set up me up with a co-worker of his. That's my only blind date. We went out 3 times, but neither of us was really feeling it. He was a nice guy, just a little PG for me, if I'm being honest. I've never set anyone up.
