I just got finished trying my hand at matchmaking once again.
(Warning to my favorite companion – Vas a recibir un email con el correo de email de un chico que yo no conozco pero escucho es muy galan.)
I’m not the best matchmaker. I had my glory days, don’t get me wrong. In college I hooked up a few folks who liked each other; a few even made it past the first date. And one or two setups culminated in marriage, though I can’t say if the marriages have lasted.
But now that I’m married, my exposure to single Mormons has really decreased. I just don’t get around like I used to. (Take that how you want to.) So I find myself grasping at two straws … we’ll call them people … and trying to put them in the same cup just because they’re both single. Which is a really great way to lose straws.
And I have some straws in my life that I don’t want to lose. (You are still following this analogy, aren’t you?) Some great gals and guys who are SNAR. (Single for No Apparent Reason.) Who would make any member of the opposite sex swoon, if they could just find the right one – in the right age and personality bracket – to swoon with.
That’s where you all come in. I want you to email me the facts on the SNARs you know in your life. The ones who are amazing, talented and spiritual. The ones you just can’t believe haven't been snatched up. (The ones with serious baggage, I can live without. No offense.) I don’t care whether they’re old or young, divorced or widowed … I just want to know who they are. Because sometimes Mr. Right isn’t just around the corner, he’s five states away!
Once I receive your info, I will put my matchmaking skills to work. If I see some potential, I’ll email you the facts on a possible match …and we can ask them if they want to exchange email addresses, do lunch or meet at the movieplex. (That is what people are doing these days, right?)
Who knows … you might see a perfect match on this here blog in a few months. But it all depends on YOU!
(I apologize to my readers of other faiths. It’s not that I don’t want to set up your friends and family. It’s just that I don’t really know much about the “real” dating world. I’m only hip to quick courtships with kissing only.)

Oh, oh... I thought of someone. I'll email you!
Oh, you, your little bambina and your blog are so cute. I hope that you don't mind that I drop in once and a while. Your post here is so very fantastic, especially because I used to be a matchmaker in my day also. Alas, marriage breaks that spell, and I am now left with many friends with no one to snuggle at night. I would LOVE to have you play matchmaker with them. There are plenty from my college days in D.C., and some here in AZ that followed me from D.C. How fun. I will e-mail you the details. Oh, I am Jen. A new blogging friend for sure.
I am SO with you on this one. I have a fabulous sister who can't find that right guy. I look all the time for her...at the grocery store, my doctor's office, the dog walker. I want her to have a man and kids of her own. And maybe a yellow house with a white-picket fence. Is that too much to ask for?
