Ice cream is essential

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)? How did it work out? Who do you trust to know who you might gel with? Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else? Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)? How did it work out?

Never.

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

I can’t envision asking anyone to set me up, but I might consider an unsolicited suggestion. I think @MedicalMuse and @Lord Pmann know me well enough and they’re both very astute, so I’d trust them.

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else?

Once. Senior year in high school a friend asked me to set her up. She left it open other than that. They’re happily married with four kids now. We’re not close anymore, but I do smile when I occasionally run into them or see them on social media

Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

I don’t think it was obvious at face value, but there’s also a lot of chance involved. I’m happy to see people find their happy and grateful I got to be a smart part of their story. I don’t think I’d ever be the instigator in future matchmaking, but if someone I knew asked I’d give it my best shot.

One person on Lit has asked me to set them up. I didn’t feel like a had a great suggestion at the time, so I deferred.

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)?

Yes. People are always trying to hook me up with their friend. That’s when I realize that my friends have no idea what I’m looking for.

How did it work out?

It didn’t. But I have become light friends with them. They were sweet women, but not what I want romantically or sexually.

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

I can’t even trust me with that kind of responsibility.

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else? Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

Not really. I have pointed out obvious matches and encouraged people to try it out, but never a flat out set up.

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)? How did it work out?

On Lit - no, I did pretty well on my own
Off Lit - yes, in the distant past, with mixed results. The effort was appreciated but the choice was clearly made superficially.

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

I don't think it's a matter of trust. Everyone in my life gets a slightly different version of Stacy, so picking someone would likely end in an 80% match

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else?

I have - though not intentionally.

Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

I believe I've a very perceptive person and pay attention to non-verbal cues.... which has offered up opportunities to match up people who may have not normally seen the connection.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)? How did it work out?

Oh definitely not. As soon as I feel someone might be trying to matchmake for me I get anxious and run away/log off

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

Lindi knows me pretty well so I'd trust her judgement here. I don't think there's anyone I'd ask irl though.

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else? Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

I don't think I have done deliberately but there have been many occasions where I've introduced friends and they've hit it off later. I don't think I could consciously do it though as I'd just totally overthink.

Follow up question -

I love seeing who you'd trust enough to set you up with someone. Who (on and off Lit) would you trust to nudge you towards towards someone with possibility?

 

[beachbaby179]

True story. I started dating this guy. After 2 dates, I wasn't sure about him. Fara told me to give it a chance, and go on a third date.
We're getting married in September.

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)?

Probably in my younger years once or twice.

How did it work out?

It went from "I want to introduce you to my sister." Then it was like "Nevermind she has a boyfriend." Cool?

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

Whoever can convince @morelikeasong and/or @LadyLascivious1 that we should be a super hot lit power couple/throuple.

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else? Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

Fuck no and n/a.

Have you ever been set up (on or off Lit)?

Not fully set up but I’ve had folks help things along.

How did it work out?

Off of lit a work friend suggested coffee with me and another coworker I was crushing on. Then she had to leave early and asked him to drive me home. I had no idea this was her plan and was kind of mortified. We will be married 32 years in August.
On Lit, anything that went past flirtation was something I initiated.

Who do you trust to know who you might gel with?

I would always listen to a suggestion but I’m not sure anyone knows me that way.

Have you ever played the matchmaker for someone else?

Yes I have. I have talked people up to each other and enjoy it.

Does it come naturally to you or was it just an obvious match?

It comes naturally. When I have people I like and think they may like each other it is easy to talk positively about them to each other. My goal is not necessarily romantic match making but widening a circle of friends.

Follow up question -

@cascadiabound and @Mrtenant I don’t think of these two as matchmakers but I trust their instincts on people so I’d go to them for their opinions

 

[Seokrocks]

The summer I turned 12, at summer camp in Maine, my sister was a counselor and spent the summer trying to set me up with a girl in her cabin. I didn’t like her and never gave in.

Fast forward a year… we are on a family vacation in Montana, walk into a restaurant for lunch… and are seated at the table next to HER! I spent the whole meal staring at my lap.

I’ve never actually been set up and I am clueless about relationships so you don’t want my recommendations!

Just a little This or That

Which is worse - having someone else be disappointed in you or feeling disappointed in someone you respect? Why?

First of all, missed you.

Growing up, I was always trying to please the people I looked up to because of the environment I was raised in.
Through therapy, I have worked through that and just try to do the best I can now for me.

Nowadays, I have to say the second is worse. Respect has always been a big thing to me. When someone I respect disappoints me, the respect begins to erode.

I tend to be a lot more forgiving of others than I am of myself. People I respect can and have disappointed me in various ways, but I'm able to remind myself that no one's perfect, that maybe there was miscommunication, maybe they have other, more important things going on, and I can move on, respect for them intact.

If I'm the one who screws up and disappoints, I know that's a personal failure on my part and I have no excuses. I'd much rather be disappointed than be the one to disappoint.

 

[StillRain]

Spending money. I’ll totally judge someone for “wasting” money on small things that I deem frivolous, but then I’ll rationalize spending a shit ton more on ballgame tickets or a big ticket item.

I’m also a hypocrite on money. I’ll give away my last dollar but have a hard time accepting other peoples money.

I would say the first one..
Because I've been disappointed in my heros/monitors/friends so many times I stopped having heros/mentors and friends.

I have more pride than is probably ideal, so having someone I respect be disappointed in me? Assuming it's a reasonable point, well, that hurts. Now, if it's someone I don't really know, or don't care for, then it doesn't matter.

That said, disappointment in another is an interesting one. Who are they to me? The closer they are, the more it hurts. And if it's a minor thing, I can adjust, but if it's a major thing then it definitely colours how I see them from then on. But then, major and minor are subjective to me.

In either case, what kind of disappointment plays a big role. And honestly, time and distance can change my view on this - I've had cases of looking back and feeling I was a fool for not seeing someone for who they really were, but I've also looked back and realised that it wasn't the big deal it felt like at the time.

Both totally suck really. I don't like letting people down. I think being disappointed in others kind of gets the edge though. If I let someone down I know I'll make an effort to make it right if I can. If I'm on the recieving end of disappointment there's no guarantee that the person that let me down will even care.

Having someone disappointed in me seems worse, because I obviously screwed up somehow.

I don’t know that I hand out respect either willy nor nilly so the people I do respect are highly vetted and unlikely to disappoint me.

I don’t like failing others though.

Its absolutely worse having someone be disappointed in me. I work hard to be a good person and a good friend so letting someone down is horrible.

Having someone disappoint me is rare. My insecure arse will always try to find a way to blame myself instead. I am getting better with that though.

I could have written every word of Jack's answer. I still find it hard to feel disappointed in someone I respect though. Especially when I didn't see it coming at all. It's an issue I'm dealing with in my family at the moment and while there are many ways I expected to be disappointed, this particular way - I didn't see coming. But being disappointing is the worst especially during those times where you gave your all and it still didn't measure up.




Thanks everyone for your answers. Something lighter coming up.

I don't think you can name a popular movie and there not be a porn parody of that movie EXCEPT for musicals. Which musical do you think would be the best porn parody and why? Show me your pervy parody vision.

Holy intersection of interests, Batman! I'm teaching today, but I'm definitely coming back to this prompt after school when I'll have proper time to put an answer together.

 

[MrMakersMark]

I was going to say Grease because it's such an easy flip to porn it's like cheating on a test, but....yup....they made a Porn parody of it.

So....hmm.. I'm not too deep into the Musical genre.

Fuck it.
I say we do a mash-up.
I think everyone in Mamma Mia! should get fucked by the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Scenario:
Apparently this poor hunchback lives under the hotel and the Abba sing-along always happening upstairs causes a crazy hard dick, which also causes the hunch to leave his back. So he is just waiting around down there for Meryl or Amanda Seyfried to start piping Waterloo and the transformation happens.
Then, once his back is straight, but he's all boned up, he bolts up through the hotel's secret passages..pops out from behind a bookcase and ...well..yahtzee. Then he disappears

Eventually the girls just name the Hunchback, Fernando and start singing just to get him to come out and play.
Upside: Lots of sex.
Downside: Lots of Abba

Title:
Fernando.
The Hunchback of Mamma Mia!
