Strange, you would think that a friend would try to get to know the individuals they were setting up with each other better. Before they started trying to mix each other up in their respective lives.
Well, it depends what you mean by "know" people. My husband and I were set up by our respective co-workers who were husband and wife. They thought we might be interested "because you both go to church every Sunday". Still took her 5 months to get me to say "yes". But neither of us were best buds with either of these people. Side note....we are happily married 11+ years and these two folks divorced a year later.
