Mommy claims she’s an awesome matchmaker. I’ll admit she’s done a lot. I mean despite Ilana trying to take credit, she did match up Brenda and Tamir…and they’re now working on their 4th child (who I hear is due end of this year sometime…shows how much I know about my own cousin!). There’s others who she hooked up and they lived happily ever after.

I don’t think I’ve inherited this matchmaking gene. Not for the lack of trying!

I tried once matching Charlie and Lidia up. It seemed to go okay until something happened on their date and she called me up telling me about he complained of how much money he spent on on buying her dog some dog treats. Needless to say, that did not end well. I tried setting up Micah and Lidia until she freaked out that he wore mismatched socks with shorts when we went to Six Flags and wouldn’t go on a date with him after that.

Maybe I just shouldn’t be hooking Lidia up with people. That’s okay though; she credits me for getting her together with Steven (her boyfriend). I didn’t do anything though besides go with her to Mike’s party up in Damascus somewhere and then drive her and Steven’s drunk asses to IHOP at 4 AM to meet up with everyone else. Actually I drove her car because she couldn’t drive and then she proceeded to have sex with Steven in the backseat (which from what I hear he doesn’t remember…sadly I do). Either way she credits me and I’ll take it even though I didn’t do anything and I don’t talk to her anymore lol.

I tried hooking Micah up with Tanya. That would have gone well and surprisingly, he would have gone on a second date with her even after the infamous line “Oh you’re an orphan? My father is too.” However, she was not so interested…I think that’s because she was dating Choppy and didn’t say anything.

Then there’s Jenny who I tried setting up with Wesley (I went to middle school with this guy and at the time was quite popular, now he’s just creepy)…that didn’t work out so well as she told me he never grew out of that middle school mentality despite having a daughter now. Somehow not surprised.

Now Charlie is trying once again to get me to find him someone. I wonder what’s the secret to matchmaking to actually get matches to work though? Can someone teach me how to be a successful matchmaker?
