If you’re looking to share your life with someone, then show, rather than tell your friends you’re available so if they know of someone they might introduce you. The problem that I find with friends trying to “set you up” is that it rarely happens. The reasons may vary from “not knowing anyone” to “it never crossed my mind” to “you’re too special for my friends.”  Most friends are just too nice to tell you the truth. The truth is most of your friends are afraid to fail in the matchmaking game. They have two people that they care about and if things don’t work out, then they’ve lost the both of you.

The smartest way to have your friends introduce you to potential mates is to be an awesome friend. Listening rather than complaining. Watching you enjoying the life you have. Maintaining your physical health and well-being. Managing your finances. Learning and have personal goals. Having gratitude. These are things that provide less risk of failure for your friends. Your friends (no matter how much they love you) will not introduce a wrecking ball to someone who has their life in order.
