It's been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and there's no better case for this aphorism than being single and subjected to the clumsy matchmaking attempts of well-meaning friends.
So here's a hardly-comprehensive list of the most graceless ways to hook up single friends, many of which (sadly) have happened to me.
When your little sister gives your phone number to her high school substitute teacher. Thanks, Becca.
When your friend with a boyfriend is being hit on or checked out by a guy, and then she drags him over and says, "Have you met my friend [Single Girl]?" Then she goes to get a drink and leaves you to bask in the awkwardness.
When the same friend gets really drunk the same night and winds up carting you around to every guy in the room saying things like, "Isn't she beautiful?"
"Hand-me-down"-ing: when a female friend passes on a platonic guy friend who is clearly in unrequited love with her.
Talking about setting up two people for ages until it becomes this mythical thing and when it actually happens everyone is stiff and unnatural.
Basing anything on the fact that your name rhymes with his.
She just inherited a ton of money and her ex who she could never get over wants to get back together. Do you thinkhe's back cuz he found out she's now rich, or did he have a change of heart!
It's a would you rather Wednesday! Wouldd you rather do something great but nobody will ever know about it or be famous for something embarrassing, like a sex tape?
Rihanna had a concert in Birmingham and she came down to sing part of her song in front of the crowd. Well one fan grabbed a little too much of her and she whacked him with her mic! Here's the video!
