Dating Tales

It’s in my nature to try and play matchmaker. There’s nothing more exciting than a blossoming new romance and if I see an opportunity among friends, then I jump at it.

Not too long ago I set up my friend Jen with a co-worker. I had a party and the two met with sparks flying. The next week they met for dinner and somehow things changed.

Jen called me the day after to tell me, hesitantly at that, he’s not that nice.

“He talked crap about all your friends the whole night. He even said some things about you, Sara. He said you throw boring parties and that he wished you would stop having them altogether because he felt obligated to go. But don’t worry, I told him off.”

“Who doesn’t like a good game of Taboo, homemade limoncillo, and my oh-so-favorite 80s party mix?” I retorted, pouting a little.

I’m grateful to Jen for standing up for me, for telling me about it so I wouldn’t try to set up this guy again, and for never calling him back. Thanks Jen.

Apparently, even the guys you’re friends date can break your heart too.
