The Big Set-up!!

**galaga-girl** · 2-28-06, 03:37 PM

I need some advice you guys, My flatmate/aunt Tracy was telling me yesterday that her best friends son who is staying two doors down from us with his Mum has a "thing" for me, those are the words that she used. I have never met him or even seen him! I am honestly mortified at the thought of being "set-up" with someone, I find the whole thing embarrassing and I keep feeling like everyone will be watching me!

It has been a LONG time since i've had a fella to call my own and I'm really quite honestly out of the loop when it comes to all of this so i'm just curious to know if anyone has ever been set-up before and how it all went. I just know that these two aren't going to let it rest!!

I was set up once. He and I ended up dating for about a month. It went fine. Just was not "the" one. Don't pass up on a date. You never know. Even if you and him don't click, meeting him will open you up to maybe a friend of his.

It is always awkward meeting the first time but if you go about it like meeting a friend rather then the love of your life, you will do fine.

Also take a close look at the people who are setting you two up. Will they leave things to you guys when you start dating or will they keep on butting in. If so, that can (will) kill the relationship..

Thanks guys. I was talking with Tracy last night and she pretty much said that he does really wanna meet me, but in a way I think that she is dying to see me with someone more than anything!

We have a big festival here in a little over a week and there is a great band on at the local pub, I'd say that we will probably go to that - not "together" but meet up there or something. I dunno what will happen but like you guys said even if things don't spark, i'm sure we will get along.
