The only thing is, if you’re not big into internet profiles and don’t have a lot of friends trying to go all Yenta on you, blind dates don’t actually happen that often.
Actually I have the opposite problem. When I first got my cell phone, I thought it was so cool to text message all my friends who have one, and I was pretty fast with my thumb then.
Having someone make the introduction for you automatically moves you past the difficult first stage, and it makes it clear that you're nice enough to have friends.
Like, I've been everywhere else, helped everywhere else but the emotions and everything kick and going, yes, this is my house, my friends, my loved ones.
