Playing Cupid for your friends.
As a nice person you should be looking out for your mates, and that includes spotting opportunities for love with the social networks you encounter throughout life. I’m sure they’d do the same for you.
You don’t actually have to dress up like a nob by the way!
Matchmaking is actually the most preferred method of meeting people (a recent survey showed), because it brings into play all the personal aspects of dating which Online tends to lose. You’ve heard the expression – ‘there’s no better than a recommendation’!
The main thing to do is to ensure that your friend(s) are entirely comfortable with your judgement of who may be suitable, and be up for allowing you into their personal life. Things can go drastically wrong if they are not interested!
Remember that as the matchmaker, you should organise the venue and book the quietest , candle lit table if being a restaurant rendezvous. Do your best to give the couple’s chances of success the biggest lift. They will thank you and respect will grow.
If you are going to play Cupid, be sure to talk to them about what sort of person they are looking for before you do anything. What are their motivations, likes, dislikes, favourite film or music star (and why), most annoying things about previous partners
It has its pro’s and con’s like everything so be careful, here’s the list:
Pro’s
- Saves time and money for your friends as there are no website fees to pay
- It may bring you closer to your friends and other social networks

Con’s
- If you get it wrong you may end up with no friends!
- Some people may be offended you are interfering with their lives
- Friends may look at you as the excuse to hate each other if it doesn’t work out
