....on a blind date. So why is it that there is always that person that wants to "hook you up" with somebody they know after they have found that you are single again?

For me, its my cousin. She's married, can't say that she's happily married, but she is married, yet she tries to hook everybody up with somebody. I don't know what the hell her problem is...it pisses me off because she acts as if I have to have a man in my life, like i'll absolutely die or grow bitter without a man in my life...so not true.

Anywho, she calls me up a couple of days ago talking about she met this guy in Wal-Mart who works there part time and he was looking for a woman to "talk" to...and that I need to wear my cutest outfit the next day because she was going to take me to the Wal-Mart to meet the guy. I was like, whoa pump the breaks sista...i'm not desperate, thats number one, number two, I ain't going no where to meet no dude I don't even know. Come to find out, he just left his baby mama whom he has three kids with and was making a fresh start. She had already told this dude that I would call him sometime this week.....umm no. I told her to give his number to one of her desperate co-workers who will go out with anybody and everybody they meet.

And besides that, the last time my cousin hooked me up, I ended up dating this psycho guy who had a criminal record...yeah she didn't get all the info before the actual "hook up", needless to say, I told her NEVER AGAIN!!!!

That's a lot of nerve! A random guy Wal-Mart?!

I always hate when they use the phrase, "Perfect for you " I usually end up mad because I can't believe they thought THAT'S what I'd want/be attracted to!

And I REALLY hate when my married/long-term sentence friends give me the "you're just not doing it right" speech. 9 out of 10 times, I wouldn't want their situations.

Yeah, that is pretty bad.

missfee, if my cousin told me to "dress nice" to walk up in WAL-MART, I would've slapped some sense into her.

Come to find out, he just left his baby mama whom he has three kids with and was making a fresh start. She had already told this dude that I would call him sometime this week....

when a friend or family member tries to hook me up and i see the inevitably disastrous results, it always makes me wonder how the person must view me in order to select such a doomed suitor.

Heard that too!
And I love, "What's wrong?"

yes. generally i don't like people to assume what is right for me. well of course only speaking in the romantic area that is.

Yes, I hate it when people try to set up dates for Jill, knowing she's dating me.
