I work in a male dominated industry. I have known the guys I work with for 25 years or more. My relationship with these guys is very sister-like. I get constantly hit up from these guys asking if I have any 'friends' I can set them up with.
(big sigh)
I'm hesitant to play match maker for these guys for a multitude of reasons I can't go into. However, I did acquiesce to one request because I was getting vibes from both my female friend and the guy I work with, who have met each other at social outings over the years, that there was a mutual-interest-attraction-vibe going on.
I took the initiative and was the 'broker' for both parties. I set up a mutually agreeable place, date, and time in a non-threatening environment. Keep it light and fluffy at first, right? Perfect. It's all set up.
Now....this why i DO NOT play match maker and went against my better judgement with this one instance.
I got a call from the guy yesterday evening saying he may be late because he has a doctor appointment down in Marin because he's going out on "stress" disability at work.
I wanted to reach through the phone and strangle him. Great. I go out of my way to set something up taking a risk in the process. HE agreed to the time, date, and place. My friend is all excited. Now he calls saying he will be late and/or miss the event all together.
....and this guy wonders why he can't keep a woman.... DUH.
