Would you match-make your mates?

Would you set up two of your friends if you thought they might get on? Or is it better to stay out of people's dating lives all together?

I've tried. So, sure, my brothers should get the chance at being happy too.

Yes I would match if I knew my friends were open to be assisting.

I recommended a dating site to a girl. She signed up. After a while a guy wrote me and i told him I’m not interested. He wrote her as well and 7 months later they married. 😁🙃

Yes. I did with a close friend. A guy gave me a book and i told him i can recommend him a girl to thank him for his service regarding book borrowing. Few years after this they married. 😁 i was very happy knowing that i could introduce them.

Its nice to help. I wouldn't mind. But I'd like to have mine first before helping out in that way, I know my heart.

I’m sorry you went through that. I don’t think anyone should pray that certain people start dating and push them to date. But I don’t see anything wrong with friends making a suggestion… then it’s up to you and the other person if you pursue it. And if one doesn’t pursue it, then I believe friends should drop it. Suggestions are fine, but pushing a relationship isn’t.

@Jo sorry, I replied to a comment, but it made it it’s own separate comment, that’s why the start doesn’t make sense

I don't see the harm in introducing people provided one prays in the process, not for them to be more than anything, but just simply for God's will to be done between them. Hopefully if they pray as well, then God's will, whatever it is, is more likely to be done

Maybe not quite staying on subject, but I passed on clicking like on someone who looked really amazing on Salt last week because I thought they were more suited for someone else, and I passed their details on to her - I'm praying that it works out for them

It is better not to play match-maker and to stay out of people's dating life all together, for true marriage is not a worldly marriage certificate obtained through a worldly institution! For true marriage is instituted by God Almighty ALONE between one man and one woman only, joined together by God Almighty ALONE, thus keeping their marriage bed as one in union by God Almighty, pure, holy and GLORIFYING unto Him by walking in His WAYS ALONE in His REVERENCE and ADMONITION for their children....

How does marriage being from God mean that you shouldn't introduce friends?

I have had enough sticky situations of being a Job Reference for a friend where I worked and then later they quit or poor exit from the company.... Don't know enough of what is going on inside others 🙏

I have friends who literally ask to be set up. 😂 They figure their friends know them best- so why not?! One wants a dating site where friends make & manage accounts for friends, filter through their likes/matches, etc. 😂 I’d be more hesitant about the 1st myself- simply because I don’t want things to be awkward for anyone if it doesn’t work out. For the second… idk but I don’t think I trust as much as I’m trusted. 🤣 Maybe if ALL my friends had to approve someone 1st...

This is interesting 🤔 concept of letting friends control your LIKES I have invited good Christian friends to review my profile - give feedback ... and help compose answers to questions One former roommate, I asked him what are my top 3 qualities and he replied with a list of f 20

I have thought about suggesting friends to friends if I thought they’d make a good match. There are a few match ups I thought might work, but those people ended up finding someone else… but no biggie :)

I would and have introduced two friends to each other as I felt they would really like each other and if nothing ever happened at least they had a new friend each. I do think this is something we should do for our friends and family, seems a lot safer too.

I think the worse case scenario with matching two of your friends is that it ends in divorce, and that can lead to a lot of guilt for a matchmaker to deal with. It’s happened to people I know. So for me I think I’m ok introducing friends and that’s it. I try to discourage people from matchmaking in my life also.

Only with permission of both friends and provided that they’ve expressed an interest in meeting someone. But even then, with caution and sensitivity - the matchmaking has to be motivated by wanting the best for our friends, not for kudos. I’m sure we all know one or two people in church who think they’re Cilla Black…
