You're sweet and all...
...But please don't set me up with anyone. This is a universal statement to everyone in my world right now: Please Don't Set Me Up With Anyone. Period.
I'm not quite sure why I'm balking at this so hard all of a sudden. Maybe it's because the last time someone offered to set me up I freaked out a little. Another friend just asked what my dating range was, and I almost told her to shut up and leave me alone. I just can't do it right now. At all. The mere THOUGHT of going on a blind date makes me almost gag or cry.
As Jinxie and Roxie have said, just because you're both single doesn't mean you actually have anything in common, and I'm tired of people assuming things about my personality. I'm tired of thinking about dating. I just want to be left alone to live my life, do my job, enjoy my hobbies, and help my family (there's a confession coming about helping my family, but I'm not sure just yet if I should talk about it here or not) without worrying about living up to some standard on a blind date.
So, please. If you want me to meet someone, invite me over for dinner or a game night or a movie with other friends and don't you DARE call it a set-up or a blind date. Just let me get to know people on my own terms.
And, please, as shallow as this is, don't even suggest anyone who is shorter than me. It will just be awkward for both of us.

Luckily I had more people threaten to set me up on dates than actually followed through. Put together places to meet others is one thing. Throwing in the awkwardness of a date is a completely different thing.
People who wanted to set me up on blind dates always said something along the lines of, "He's quiet, just like you!"
Yeah. Two shy, quiet people, on a blind date. Yep. World's best idea. Sure.
