Some friends...

So before I begin my rant, I just want to say this friend isn't a bad friend at all, I'm just upset but shes only doing what she thinks will be better for her friends, and I can't really hate her for that so don't go off saying shes a bad friend, please ;p


Ok, so about a week or so ago I decided that me and some friends should all attend BlizzCon 2011 (its a gaming convention in Anaheim, Cali for Blizzard and its titles - Starcraft, Diablo and Warcraft)

One of my friends that is going (girl) decides that another one of her friends (girl) would be a good match for me and she wants to set us up so she can bring said friend of hers to BlizzCon as well, and we could meet and such.

I agree, at first assuming that she'll just bring this friend and I'll get to meet her then and perform my sweet serenade. Unfortunately I was wrong, I'm basically being set up for a huge long term relationship, not exactly what I was hoping for.

At first it was an amusing joke, now its turned into "you should add her on facebook", "you should text her", "x is on the phone and she says hi", "x says you're cute".

NO. You don't ****ing feed the lion his prey. I want some mystery, some ****ing challenge in meeting girls. I don't want to have them thrown at me and then have my dick guided. I know how to talk to people myself, thank you very much, so suffice to say I'm getting a bit pissed off.

Now I'm just losing interest in the whole deal and likely to upset both of them because I'm PROBABLY not going to want to talk to her at all now, and its just upsetting me. I don't want to upset them, but I lost interest extremely fast and I have no desire to be thrown into a long term relationship when I won't even see the person for another year and its just this odd, awkward thing where we were magically setup without even living anywhere nearby.

To make matters worse, my friend is obsessed with the TV show "Millionaire Matchmaker" and she went as far as to call herself Patty today (the host of said show) as if she's going to provide me some groundbreaking relationship advice. Sorry, but shes not a matchmaker, and I hope she never is because she single-handedly killed any interest I ever had for her friend.

Oh gawd...

I wouldn't even bother mate

 

If you were my friend and I hear you ranting about being foreveralone.jpg and after I introduce you to someone you pull off this move, I'd pimp slap you.

 

I was never ranting about being foreveralone.jpg though ;p, it was a joke at first about whether or not I'd bed whatever friend she was going to bring

Then she got it in her head that one of her friends would be a perfect match for me and oh we should talk and have a huge relationship and all this stuff

and in any case I'd never ask any of my friends to set me up with someone, its way too awkward and I'd rather just meet someone myself with my own work, no matter how foreveralone.jpg I was at the time.

 

getting u to meet each other so u know bout each others existence and letting u decide would be good, but forcing a relationship just coz u wanna act like a character in ur favorite tv show is messed up

not sure whats worse, being alone or being pushed into a relationship u dont want

idk its kinda like...its not a 3some, id prefer not sharing everything i do with a person outside of the relationship

 

That's part of it as well, they share everything to each other so if I was dating her friend, she would know everything, and I don't really care for that happening.

Being forced into a relationship is just ehhhh. If I was so lonely I'm sure I'd want to make the necessary approaches to get in a relationship with this person right? Obviously I didn't, so what does that say? It should be obvious to my friend that I'd rather just meet the person and it be somewhat mystical on what to expect, and if there was any chemistry we'd maybe go for a relationship, and not to immediately get to know this person as if I've already met them and go straight into a relationship without even knowing anything about them.

I can find my own way into a relationship, so being forced into one when I never asked for anything of that nature is just the biggest turn-off possible :c

 

Be a man and say your not interested in a relationship, and tell your friend you can and will find your own dates ^^, if she's really your friend she will respect your decision
