You have two friends who you think will be fabulous together, and want to set them up on a date. But not every hook up turns out well, no matter how well planned it may be, so here are some things you should consider while getting them together.
Talk positive
Remember both your friends will be influenced by what you say about them. So tell each one how great the other is. Don't make things up, but if you think they're great for each other, they need to think so too.
The first step is to talk about one to the other.
Introduce them
Arrange for them to meet on neutral territory, neither should have an inkling of what you're up to. See if they hit it off or not, so you know whether or not your hunch is right.
If they forget you're even there, you know they will be get on well and may set up a date without you even trying. If they look like they're dying to go out, you've got your answer.
Repeated meetings
If the first meeting goes okay enough, but you're not convinced that they will do all the legwork themselves, arrange repeated meetings. Go out on a regular basis with both of them, so they have more of an opportunity to get to know each other.
Leap of faith
If you're fairly confident that they will hit it off, go for the kill and set them on a blind date right away. But be very careful, your gut might not always be right. Words of caution If the date/ relationship doesn't go well, both your friends will hold you responsible because, after all, you set them up!
Setting up friends is common and works well if you know exactly what they're looking for. But just to be on the safe side, have a few casual conversations with each of them so you can better understand what they're looking for in a partner. Good luck!
