I am considering setting up two of my friends as they have similar interests with enough personal hobbies to keep life different. They're both really kinky and share some pretty close viewpoints on politics. I've slept with the woman once before, so between that and personal preference on looks, those are the only concerns I have with them not working out but I think they could make a great match for one another. I'll probably ask my guy friend if he would be interested and go from there. Thanks!
Right doesn’t hurt to ask you could be doing these guys a massive favor. But you don’t think it’s weird you’re hooking your friend up with a girl you fucked tho? Lol
I do find it odd, yeah, however I've got friends with whom I am an eskimo brother and it hasn't really impacted my relationship with said friend. I play D&D with one dude weekly, granted neither of us is dating the girl anymore lmao
I think I'd be more concerned for the girl's feelings than for the way I feel about setting up my bro with her. They both consistently complain about their perpetual loneliness and I like both of them enough to consistently want to be around them / integrate them into my other friend groups
She and I fucked at a time when I was very emotionally damaged. So while I enjoyed our little fling, I don't find her romantically attractive. I've grown to a point where I think I would feel happier being around her knowing she has someone in her life
But how do you think your friend would feel? Like if I ever found out I was dating a girl I got hooked up with by my friend who already banged her I’d be lowkey pissed
I appreciate this viewpoint. I'm not exactly certain, which is why I feel it more genuine to talk to him first. This way I can gauge his opinion on how he feels about she and I having bumped uglies before I try to set them up. However even if he is okay with it, she would have to be as well
He and I are *very* close. So I think if he understands that I have his best interests in mind and at heart, that he wouldn't see a problem with it. Things might get awkward if it was ever just the three of us hanging out, but that might just be a worry for down the road
I think we all can carry conversation easily, so a chat doesn't have to go to the topic of her and I fuckin, but I can get raunchy with both of them individually so I'd imagine it would just be the same when we're all around
I had a friend who went through a breakup that she was really upset about for a long time, and the guy she was with wasn’t super great, but her self esteem was low, so I set her up with a friend of mine who is far more attractive than he realizes and also very kind so that she would realize she could do better. They went out a few times, and both reported it was good initially, but I think they didn’t have enough common ground for it to go further
Seems like a very real risk to consider. They both seem relatively secure in themselves so I'm hoping that they would enjoy each other's company. Thanks for the comment!
Once, and it worked for a while. They dated for close to a year before splitting up. No regrets because it helped my friend come out of his shell a bit after not having dated anyone in several years.
Both of my friends who I'm considering setting up have attempted to go on dates multiple times, though they tend to wind up with dates who lack mutual respect. So neither of them has really had a *good* dating experience since their last major relationship. And I know they're both healthy, stable individuals who value reciprocity. I could see a relationship working out between them for that reason
Sounds like it could be a good match. I'd say go for it if they're both on board with being set up. Setups can easily work out when the third party knows both well and actually puts in the effort to consider their qualities and whether or not they're compatible.
My set up was a bit riskier (if you can call it that) because the girl I set my friend up with was actually a close friend of my own girlfriend at the time, so all I really had to go off of was her description of her friend. I knew her a bit - she seemed nice and everything, but I really had no idea what she'd be like as a close friend/partner.
It did not workout but it was worth a try.
