In the past I’ve had people try to “help” me get a boyfriend when I never asked for it. I do wanna date but I’m not desperate enough to go around asking friends and family to hook me up with someone.
At my old high school, this weird female security guard noticed that I gotten my hair done and tried initiating to find a boyfriend for me. At the time I wasn’t into dating and I didn’t know her like that (Besides, she’s the school’s security 🙄) and I felt uncomfortable cause she randomly assumed that I didn’t have a boyfriend (which yeah I was single) but it was none of her business.
Then at my first job, I had a cousin who worked there and noticed a guy liked me and wanted him to talk to me. And I get he was just trying to help and I did like the guy back, but it would’ve been so much easier if he didn’t tease the dude for liking me and just let us be naturally drawn to each other.
We ended up not going out because my cousin and his friends kept picking on him about liking me, and it actually made the guy not want me anymore.
I think nobody should feel pressured to get in a relationship, especially if the “match maker” is constantly looking over the potential candidates shoulders being nosey.
I also feel like those types of relationships don’t last anyway cause it could work in the beginning, but they seem to not last half of the time. I’ve known a couple people who were matched by a friend and things ended pretty badly.
