Matchmaking - Do you mind?

Do you mind if your friends, family members, co-workers introduce you to members of the opposite sex?

I introduced my girlfriend from college to my cousin who was 10 years older than both of us both and they will be celebrating their 25th Wedding anniversary next month.

I think we all know people looking for that special someone. My rule is to never take it personal if it does not work out between the two of them.

Naw, I don't like it. I'll handle my love life. I hate for anyone to get involved. I also don't set people up cuz I'd hate to have to hurt someone's feelings for coming at me wrong if it doesn't work out and it get's nasty between the 2 parties. I've seen that happen when someone was unhappy with the relationship, they turned on the matchmaker.

No, I don't mind at all if someone introduces me, but don't try to play match maker or try to edge on a relationship. Just a casual introduction and leave it at that.

I follow this same advice as well. I have been asked by friend guys to set them up with some of my friend girls. I tell them I will only introduce the two of you, not giving any personal information outside of names. Any and all information exchanged will be done so by the parties involved.

I do not like match making AT ALLLLLL. But sure introduce me to the opposite sex, but don't expect that the person will be the right one

I don't mind meeting someone my friend would think I'd like. I'm definitely not one to try to hook somebody up with a friend of mine though.

Thanks for all the responses. :) :)

I enjoy meeting new people whether it ends up in a romantic liaison or a new friendship. You just never know.

I don't mind meeting other people, but as far as dating goes, I don't want to be set up. I don't like the feeling of not having control of who it is I'm with, and not everyone I know has an idea of what type of guy I want.
