I remember people used to play matchmaker all the time. Listen, if you even remotely said anything along the realm of you being single, people was trying to hook you up with different people. And nowadays, it's like, not only is nobody trying to hook you up, but it's almost like if you're single, married people don't want to have anything to do with you. So I'm just wondering what happened to the days when people played matchmaker?
So their married friends don't feel like they can just invite them to dinner unless they have a plus one. They can't just come to dinner as the single person. And that's an interesting mindset that we have adopted lately, is that single people belong in a certain pool by themselves and married people belong in a pool by themselves. And we never commingle. And the matchmaking has kind of stopped. And for me, I'm okay with it because I don't like going on repeated date s

But I do, um, miss those days of just hooking up with different people, getting to know different people through your friend such and such. I met them through my friend and my cousin, and I remember that stuff. But you know what? Sometimes you can meet your spouse through your friend, your cousin, whatever. So I'm still in favor of matchmaking, but you do have to do it differently

Hi Andrea, thanks for inviting me to the conversation matchmakers. I don't think they are gone or disappeared. I agree with the lady who said sometime if you match people and things don't work, you can be held responsible and therefore you don't want to do that again it anytime soon. And I agree with that. Why? Because sometimes what we see from the outside is not necessarily what you will see from the inside

But he couldn't call her mom or her kids or anybody because he didn't know her like that. And then another one was very suspicious. The woman died of supposedly a drug overdose, but her family swore she never did drugs, and the guy might have drugged her, all that kind of craziness, but nobody really knew who they were going out with. And so I like the fact, in addition to matchmaking kind of incorporating other people, like, hey, I'm talking to this guy

It's. Happy Friday. Thank you very much for the invite. Let's see. So it's very interesting because I actually have two people that I think would be great for each other, but yet, for whatever reason, they don't seem to have an interest in each other, which is fine with me because I really don't want to lose a friend or anything like that. Have had the experience of matching two people up because one's interested

You've seen it more later, more in earlier years than you do now. And I had talked to my pastor about that. I was joking with my pastor, like, Pastor, why you ain't hooked me up with nobody? Like, you know, I'm single. And so me and him have kind of joked about that. But I know that we meet people when we're supposed to meet people, when it's time for us to meet people

They want to date the other guys that are single but not looking for wives. And that right there is a recipe for disaster. Because these guys here, these are some rough dudes here, and they think that they could turn them out. And I said, no, I'm not getting involved in that. Outside of that, I do believe that online dating has played a major role. Online dating rules. People are not interested as much to meet people the way they used to

Hey, Mo, thank you for replying. And you're right, that's another aspect of it that I didn't think about the whole looking for. Now, you got to be cautious of that, too. And I didn't even think about that aspect of it because a lot of women are turning to women, and a lot of men are turning to men, unfortunately. So, yeah, I didn't even think about that aspect of it
