Helping your single friend

So here is a question that you might be able to help with. We have a friend in his late 30’s who became single just a few years ago. We know he is lonely and tried online dating – but nothing so far. We tried to get him set up with different people, again, no success.

However, we have run into an issue. Every time that my partner hears that one of our friends is single, he automatically feels that our friend should be set up with her. I believe this is just a bit desperate. If they were a good match together sure – but not just because ‘these are two single people’.

So I guess a question for those people who have dealt with this situation or the single folks, do you enjoy your friends setting you up (provided you are being set up with a good person) or do you feel that it just makes things more awkward?

I guess it would help, but as someone who has been with someone for so long I do not think that I can give an accurate assessment. For those people who want to be with someone though I suppose they might be better off just sucking it up a second in the hopes of finding a partner right?

I'd feel a bit uncomfortable. The idea of being set up with someone is so stressing for me, a lot people actually tried it. A lot moms have said things like: ''I've a son your age, he is single as well, you two should meet!''. I always smiled and didn't say much when someone made that kind of comments, because I was sure as heck I didn't want to meet someone that way.

I think some people don't mind this kind of things, but others like myself do. I actually mind it a lot, because when someone sets you up to date someone it actually feels like a lot pressure. That's something I've never liked.
