I worked as a matchmaker once and ended up like this. I decided not to get involved in this kind of thing again.
After that, I met many acquaintances who asked me to help them introduce the resources around me to their relatives and friends, but I politely declined.
In the bottom of my heart, I always believed that I had a lot of responsibility for that handsome guy’s unwilling marriage. If the couple is harmonious and beautiful, the matchmaker will get a lot of credit. If they become resentful couples, the matchmaker will always feel a little troubled. I don’t want to feel guilty anymore, so I don’t want to be involved in the matchmaking business anymore.
I kept the oath for more than twenty years, but I didn’t expect that the oath was broken the year before last.
One of my best friends has a little daughter who was 28 years old at the time. She had a boyfriend that she had been dating for several years, but they finally broke up when they were about to get married. At this time, her mother was anxious. Her daughter's age had been delayed so much. Where could she find a suitable one? So, she asked her relatives and friends everywhere to find a suitable partner for her daughter, and sighed in front of me every day. I felt that I had to cheer up and do my best to help her.
For girls in their late thirties, it is really difficult to find a suitable partner in a small county. Although my sister’s daughter’s career and appearance are both good, her age limits her choices. I asked people everywhere but couldn't find a suitable candidate. During this period, although he went on several blind dates under the introduction of others, they were unsuccessful and the girl looked down on him.
In the winter of the year before last, I overheard my colleagues chatting and said that a young man working in the same unit at the rural office had an affair with his girlfriend and they were single for a long time. I immediately became interested and inquired about the young man's age. He was about the same age as my sister's daughter. Worried about the long nights and dreams, I immediately dialed the young man's phone number and asked him if he had a girlfriend.
The young man made it clear that he didn’t have a girlfriend. When he heard that I wanted to introduce him to a friend, he immediately agreed, but just added: "I don’t know if it’s suitable."
I thought He was shy, so he encouraged him: "You two have to talk to know if it's a good match. I'll push her WeChat to you, and you two can be friends." He agreed.
I told my sister these things. A few days later, she gave me feedback that the young man had added her daughter’s WeChat account but didn’t say a word. But judging from her daughter’s behavior, Look, she should be very satisfied with the young man's appearance and let me work hard from it.
Are young people in this era still as shy as we were in the past? Do you need an introducer to become a friend? Although I don’t understand, since I helped, I must help to the end. A few days later, when the young man entered the city and came to our brigade, I specially pulled him aside and asked him about the situation. I asked him if he had a girlfriend, and if that was the case, forget it. He firmly said no, saying that he was too busy with work during this period and had no time to send her WeChat messages. I thought he was a straight man and didn't know how to coax girls, so I taught him and asked him to send a few explanations to girls on WeChat in front of me. The young man was obedient and immediately sent her a WeChat message, saying that after this busy period of work, he would treat her to dinner.
In the evening, my sister replied to me and said that her daughter was very happy because she received the young man’s WeChat message. It seemed that she was a very satisfied introduction partner this time. I was very happy after hearing this. I have watched my sister’s daughter grow up since she was a child. It’s great that she can find a satisfactory partner.
Half a month later, my sister gave me feedback again, saying that after the young man sent WeChat that time, there was no movement again, and she asked me to inquire again.
I heard this and was really angry with that young man. If you don’t want a girlfriend, just say so. Why didn’t you refuse at first? And when I repeatedly confirmed whether you had a girlfriend, you firmly said no. , then your current avoidance behavior makes no sense (his family conditions and appearance are not as good as the woman's, so there is no point that he doesn't like the woman's conditions). Now that the girl is getting excited, you have been silent, What is this?
So, I called the young man’s phone number again and said that I would treat them to a treat. I thought to myself, the girl is so beautiful, he would like it when he saw her. He agreed.
So, one night, we got together in a restaurant and let two young people meet.
After drinking some wine, I asked the young man to take the girl home and give them a chance to be alone.
A week later, my sister told me that my daughter was satisfied with the young man, but the young man became silent after that incident. She probably didn’t like her daughter.
According to normal reasoning, this shouldn't be the case. As long as the young man has no one in his heart, he will not be dissatisfied with his sister's daughter no matter what. What's the trick here? Have a girlfriend? Since you have a girlfriend, why don't you admit it and agree to someone else's introduction?
The answer was solved within two months. I heard from colleagues who were close to him that he was getting close to a female colleague who worked in another town not far from where he worked.
When I heard the news, I immediately remembered that it should be on the third day after I arranged for him to meet his sister’s daughter. Then the female colleague sent a message to Moments, meaning that he had found her. love.
At this time, the young man’s behavior was explained clearly. I immediately made up my mind about the plot of the story: the young man should have been pursuing the female colleague, but the female colleague had been hesitant and did not agree to him. But he didn't reject him and only used him as a backup. It was me who arranged that blind date and forced him to show his cards to his female colleague whether he would be offered a permanent job. If not, he would find another company.
This kind of coy relationship is most taboo with a third party. Once a third party appears, it will break the original balance and make people worry that "what belongs to them will be taken away by others." , so he cut the knot quickly and immediately turned the spare tire back to normal.
History is always surprisingly similar. Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, because of me, a strange combination of circumstances led to a new couple.
Half a year later, the young couple got married, and now they are very happy and sweet.
At the beginning, I felt that I was being used as a backlash by this young man. I felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, I felt ashamed of the sister for letting her have hope and then being disappointed. Later, I turned around and thought that I had done a good thing. Without my push, it is not certain whether these two people would get married in the end. Because of me, two lonely young people are no longer lonely, which is a good thing. With this thought, I felt relieved and sincerely wished the two of us a happy marriage.
After my husband found out about this, he kept teasing me about my role as a matchmaker, saying that I would do all these nonsensical things and that the two times I would be a matchmaker would end in the same way.
Listening to his teasing, I was unconvinced and retorted plausibly: "The matchmaker's task is to make the hand-holding successful. I have accomplished this task. As for who holds hands with whom, there are no clear regulations. From then on, In this respect, my role as a matchmaker is very successful..."
Haha, if you can laugh at yourself, it doesn't matter.
