Back in Jan of this year, I set up my friend Don with my female friend Ellen.
I wanted to play matchmaker and thought at the time it was a good idea.
I only did this because at the time I wanted to go on a double date with my then girlfriend Kelly.

Well, 9 months later, I've since broke up with my gf and they're still together Don and Ellen.

The only thing I regret now is that Don has a gf and I don't have one currently and it's been a bit of a dryspell I'm in. Plus, the thing that annoys me is that he has never said thank you for setting me up with a great girl and hasn't returned the favor of trying to set me up with any of the girls he know

At first I also like Ellen before myself, but after we went on 1 date this was way before Don knew her, she and I had more of a friendship developing than any physical attraction to one another, plus we had way different backgrounds, she was from a strick Greek family.

So, do you think it was stupid for me to play matchmaker? Now, they're happy, but I'm a bit regretful now because I'm not in any relationship, plus both never really want to help me out with my lady situation. I feel I've gotten shafted.

But, I told them if they do break up don't blame me.

 

I think it's a bit shallow of you to think this way. What is there to be jealous of? You had a girlfriend when you set up Don with Ellen. Don is your friend and so is Ellen. So seeing both of them happy together should make you feel "better" than "regretful". More importantly, your relationship failure has nothing to do with Don and Ellen. You shouldn't be regretting not hooking them up in the first place, you should be happy for them. In addition, them not returning the favor of setting you up with a lady doesn't necessarily mean you got shafted. Do you expect something in return everytime you give someone a gift?

 

Feel good about yourself. You did something good and i'm sure you'll find a better girl.

 

cry baby

 

It seems like you're just a bit bitter/jealous since you and your last girlfriend broke up. Don't sweat it - you'll find another one.

 

I think that was really nice of you to do that for them, but I also think you're just feeling a bit "low" now that you don't have anyone. This happens sometimes when your friends all have someone, but you don't (you're lonely and probably a little jealous). Don't sweat it, you'll find someone eventually and it'll take your mind off stuff. Stop thinking about it for a little while, sometimes you find someone when you're least expecting it.

 

Of course I'm just a bit bitter, but thanks for help everyone


And to thatguy you don't know me so quit hating

 

Wtf? You think you did something wrong becuase you helped create a good relationship and you have none?

christ....

 

someone's bitter

 

Did you whine this much when you and your ex-gf were together?

No wonder she left you.

 

first of all, you didn't just do a good thing for one friend but for two friends

and second, you shouldn't do things for people expecting something in return

and thrid, don't go through life asking "what if....?"

move on, be happy for your friends, and if you're his best man at their wedding, you'll have a damn great story to tell

 

Yeah - be happy for them and the fact that they are still happily together. Their happiness shouldn't make you sad - or jealous. That's just petty.

 

You did good by setting them up. Obviously it is working out for them.

I think you're just a bit jeolous. Get over it. Eventually you'll find someone new and this thread will make you laugh.

 

oh, by the way... it could be worst... "things" could've gone bad, and you being in the middle, then losing 2 friends..

 

Thanks all for making me see the positives in the situation.....

I admit like I said earlier that I had some feelings of bitterness, disappointment because to this day 9 months later Don still hasn't formally thanked me for setting me up with this girl, and jealousy because their relationship blossomed, while mine disintegrated.

 

You did something nice for him whether he thanks you or not. "Thank you" is just a two word phrase that, while courteous, really won't change anything.

 

Sounds like you're just jealous that you are in a "dryspell" you should never feel bad about setting them up if it's a good relationship, sounds like you're being a bit selfish though, saying your friend never thanked you or returned the favor, well now that you're broken up, play matchmaker for yourself and be happy that those 2 are in a relationship that you're responsible for creating.

 

Tough crowd

I'd have to agree, I hooked up 2 of my friends back in high school. One got married last year and other broke up. Neither of them tried to set me up with a girl when I was single. Who cares! If you got the skills, you don't need anyone to set you up.

Don't be bitter buddy, all you need is to relax and look around a bit more.

 

Alright, I'm trying to relax, not think about it and I am trying to look around. Yeah and someone posted that it could've been worse if things went bad between them. As long as they don't blame me for anything I'm alright. I just haven't seen either of them in awhile just talking to them on the phone.

 

Don't expect to be thanked. If you expect things, you'll feel miserable if you don't get what you want. So chill.

 

Stupid

Who cares dude, you hooked your boy up with some hole, Go Hunt now unless..........
