Matchmaker, Matchmaker

I have a confession. I LOVE to match make! I've never actually been successful, but does that stop me? No siree! So I know this single guy in our church who is close to 30. And I know this single girl in our church who is about 30. She is really pretty with long dark hair. For some reason, I could really see them getting along. They are both tall, and both intelligent. He is studying art, and her father is an artist. When I suggested the match to my husband, he totally agreed that they seemed to be compatible. So being on the extroverted side of the spectrum, I sent him a message on facebook asking if he knew her, and told him I thought he should meet her. He answered that he didn't know her, but never took me up on the offer to set him up with her. Then I asked her in person if she would ever be willing to go on a blind date. She said she was open to the idea, but after I sent her his picture, she never answered back. Frankly, I think looks are highly over rated, and I think personality is far more appealing. Not to mention the fact that in 20 years neither of you look remotely like you did when you married. :P Anyway, my efforts kind of fizzled there....until tonight.

Tonight on facebook he mentioned that he was looking for a model to sit for him while he learns to draw. I told him I might know someone. hee hee hee Then I sent her a message telling her that he was looking for a model. So now I"m crossing my fingers. :D

I think looks are over-rated too. When I was a young women's counselor, I used to tell the girls to date the boys they considered nerds because nerds make the best husbands because they're not so good-looking that they have an attitude (or rather an ego) about themselves. :0)

Okay, okay. First...Looks and "nerdiness" don't necessarily fit in the same category. Second...be kind to nerds; one day you'll work for one. Third...Looks overrated? Delirious, Delirious, need I remind you? I see you are NOT married to the nice guy with the cool car you dated when I was still a teenager. he was very successful, too. No, you passed him by....hmmm...I wonder why.... I agree that when you reach a certain age, looks SHOULD not be as important, but let's be honest, they most certainly are. And men have that whole "Beauty and the Beast" thing going for them. Women think if they only love him enough, he'll turn into Prince Charming. Guess again. If he wasn't charming before marriage, he'll be even less so after!

BTW...I hope nobody inferred from the previous paragraph that Delirious' husband is UN-attractive. Or UN-successful. And I don't know about the car, but his BIKE is cool! Just proves that Delirious made the right choice when she gave Mr. WRONG the boot!
