My petty gripe: my coupled friends refuse to set me up with a potential mate. It’s not good enough

can you believe how things used to be back in the day when everyone was all about trying to set each other up? now it's like people are too busy hosting their own dinner parties for their friends' significant others . it's not just me, right? i mean, have you noticed how couples never seem to introduce us to new people anymore? like, what happened to that whole "cupid" vibe? and don't even get me started on online dating - ugh, who thought that was a good idea in the first place? anyway, i guess what i'm trying to say is, if we're all tired of swiping through apps, shouldn't our friends be doing some matchmaking magic behind the scenes?

I feel like I'm not alone on this one . I've had some pretty cringeworthy experiences with my friends trying to set me up too... it's like they think matchmaking is all fun and games but for us singles, it's a whole different story . Can't help but wonder if people just forget that we're out here swiping left or attending those awkward dinner parties . Maybe it's time for couples to put their money where their mouth is (or in this case, introduce us to someone new ).

I feel you, though! I've had my fair share of awkward matchmaking attempts too . It's like, we get it, you're busy with your own life, but come on, don't leave us hanging! I've actually met some pretty cool people through mutual friends, so it's not all bad. Maybe we just need to start our own dinner parties... or online dating groups ?

I feel like I'm not alone in this experience, you know? Like, I've had my own friends turn down setting me up or even pretend they're busy when asked. It's frustrating, but also kinda funny . I mean, who needs a matchmaking service if our friends can't be bothered to introduce us? Maybe it's just an excuse for them to avoid their own love lives... or maybe they're just too good at being single and don't need the help .

But seriously, it's time for coupled friends to step up and play matchmaker. It's not that hard, right? Just introduce us to someone new and let us figure it out from there . I mean, think about all the conversations we'd have if our friends actually put in the effort... it'd be like a social experiment gone right .

So, yeah, let's get our coupled friends back on track with setting up singles. We're all tired of swiping and ghosting, it's time for human connection . And who knows, maybe one day we'll return the favor when they need a little help navigating their own love lives .

I'm low-key disappointed in my coupled friends tbh like what's good is if you're single u gotta have each other's backs rn it's not that hard to set someone up and if ur trying but failing then at least try again instead of ghosting online dating can be a hot mess so I get why people would wanna ditch it, but we need our coupled friends 2 step up their matchmaking game ASAP
