Help getting somebody a date!

RFJ

Hi everyone,

Somebody close to me has been single for two years, they need a date ASAP. They've had actually nothing in the past two years, she's very fussy about the type of man she'd like to go out with. Where is a really good place to meet somebody?

She's very pretty (yes, actually pretty not 'she has a nice personality' pretty)
Very intelligent
Highly ambitious/successful in her own right
Won't tolerate anything, like nothing.


Ideas? or takers?!:D

Has she actually asked you to find her a date?

I ask this because if someone decided to take it upon themselves to "find" me a date just because they thought I needed it I'd be pretty livid and probably would no longer regard them as a friend.

If she has asked you to find her one, take her to clubs or places that are relevant to interests she holds. Any men there will at least be of a like mind in that regard which is a much better starting point than random blokes in the pub.

Yet she will tolerate someone trying to fix her up with a stranger? That doesn't make any sense. My Brother has been single for 10 Years, yet does not want anyone making him sound desperate for a mate.

That will be a no then, she hasn't asked you to.

This will end well.

She sounds a nightmare, no wonder she's not had a date in 2 years! :rotfl:

There is no magic formula to meeting someone. Your friend just needs to put herself into as many social situations as possible. Before doing so she might be wise to work on the above though. All very well being pretty, intelligent, ambitious and successful, but if she is totally intolerant then that would be an instant turn off to most. Which would explain why such a woman has a friend trying to fix her up on a date

And, perhaps, happy being single? I chose to be single for a couple of years, and loved having time for myself. I think I did a lot of growing as a person, and as a result, when I was ready to date I was so much happier with myself it meant I was in a position to avoid the kind of blokes I'd probably have given a chance before - the kind that never ended all that well. Met my OH instead, and still very happy 4.5 years on. So being single out of choice worked very well for my relationship in the end!

Hmm, so you say she's much too fussy and won't tolerate anything. Either that is true and therefore anyone you 'randomly' pick for her isn't going to meet approval.
Or rather than simply being 'fussy' she is quite happy being single at the moment, knows what she does want and doesn't see the need to 'settle' for someone she doesn't think would be right for her. In which case and since she hasn't asked for your help she will quite probably be offended that you seem to see her as 'desperate' and needing a date asap.

On another note - you state her 'good' points like you're selling her but nothing about the kind of guy she would like. If she's fussy then I'm assuming she wants someone to share her values, interests, life goals etc but no mention of that, just that she's 'pretty'. Obviously you have no idea of what she's looking for so if she hasn't found them then how on earth do you think you can?

Set up a website called www.willingtomeetstrangemenfromtheinternet.com put up her details. State that she will be at a certain restaurant at a certain time on a certain date and see who turns up.

If she is that fussy then she would have provided you with a long list of 'must haves' and 'don't wants'... has she?

Fun for you, yes... how about your friend?

Will she be happy with you offering her around like leftovers?
