For National Matchmaker Day: The Dos And Dont’s Of Setting Up Friends
Don’t micro-manage
If the two do go on a date, and then several dates, do not micromanage. Don’t step in and demand to know what sorts of dates they have planned and what each will wear. Don’t try to instruct them on what to talk about or not talk about. Once they’ve started dating, you have to know that your work is done. If they really are a match, they will overcome small hiccups and misunderstandings. Real chemistry and compatibility is stronger than a little bump in the road. Micromanaging won’t ensure they stay together: it will only ensure they distance themselves from you.
