Would you let your friends matchmake for you?

Dear Lisa,
I have an issue with one of my friends. She calls herself the matchmaker, but after many reminders, she yet has to do her job.
What should I tell her?

Fred.

Dear Fred,

Matchmaking is a delicate art. The matchmaker has many things to consider. Many things to take into account. Matchmaking is not something one does on a night when they have nothing else to do. The professional matchmaker sometimes takes years to find perfect mates for her clients. The hobbyist – like your friend – if she is good, will also take her time. Sometimes the match is obvious, sometimes she must mull over her friends’ desires, ambitions, personalities and needs before proceeding with a match. Be patient, if she’s any bit the friend you hope she is; she is just waiting for the perfect girl. As for what to say to her: remind her that you’re still hoping and looking. Perhaps keep her informed about what kinds of girls and what kind of relationship your interested in so she can find your best match.

Lisa.
