set ups

so i've been trying to set up some of my single friends lately. ok well set up is not the right term. more like intro dif groups of friends to eachother to see if anything happens. i have a lot of dif circles of friends...

and so, the first experience was watching a movie together then hanging out afterwards. however that didn't work out so well since the groups were too large.

tried something dif at paragon. a guy friend has recently told me he thought one of my friends was "down to earth and cute". so he wanted her number from me. so of course i asked her permission first however she preferred to just hang out together again so she could get to know him in a group setting. so we met up after paragon to go eat. however some people ( not me) tried to nudge them closer together and do the things people do to kind of encourage a couple to talk to eachother. i disagree with this tactic since it tends to make the social situation more awkward. and so, that's exactly what happened. he balked under the pressure and she felt uncomfortable. doh

she wants to try again to hang out together. i'll have to figure out a way to decrease the pressure and actually jsut hang out so they get a chance to know eachother!
