Matchmakers should be quarantined

Nothing bothers me more than when a friend of mine (let's call her "Jane") tries to play matchmaker for me. Not cool.

So, last night, I was attending this huge event that my high school's national honor society volunteers in for the benefit of honoring survivors and those who passed away from cancer. It's an all-night event and since that cute Korean castmate of mine is also a member of our honor society, he was there. During the event, I was manning the "products" table where I had to sell candy and other stuff. After a couple of hours sitting there, I was getting hungry and I wanted a snack but I didn't want to use my money to buy the candy.

Suddenly, "L" (that's the cute Korean castmate of mine that I'm quickly developing a huge crush on) appears in front of me at the products table and I decide to act cute and ask him to buy me a packet of gummy bears, which we were selling for a dollar.

Me: ______ ~~ could you please buy me this? I'm so hungry~

L: Sure, how much is it?

Me: A dollar!

L: *pulls out his wallet and hands me a dollar*

Me: Thank you~~~

And my friend, "Jane", was there next to me so I guess she saw it. Later on that same night, I relay the entirety of that moment to my AP Literature teacher who happens to be a confidant of mine as well. Jane was also with me and she played along with it as I spazzed over "L". A little while later after that, Jane and I go up to L and a mutual friend of ours so we could just talk to them. As I was joking around with L, I said something like "I'm sorry, _____!" and Jane said, out loud, "Ok, go hug him since you're sorry!" and in my mind, I really wanted to tell her to shut the hell up, but if I reacted to that, it's just going to make things worse! 

So I continue to ignore it and talked to another one of my friends Kayla, who happens to be L's classmate. Suddenly, Jane and L's other friend push both of us towards each other to make us hug! And by now, I'm internally fuming. I slap Jane on the arm just to reprimand her, but I seriously wanted to do more than that considering how angry I was. 

Don't you just hate it when people try to play matchmaker for you especially if you don't need it??

Jane playing matchmaker is totally unnecessary and it makes things a thousand times worse and even more awkard for me, especially if I have to do a play with L, and I'm going to be going on a trip with him to Alabama this summer. I spent a looong time trying to ease the tension we had during our first rehearsals together and I don't want to mess that up just because Jane is such a . 

Anyway, I guess L was over it because much later into the night, we were talking again and he even joked around (I pushed him out of the way and he pushed back with his , but I "cutely" held onto him as I was stumbling back and whined out his name like a lovesick schoolgirl that I was). So it's pretty much ok at this point.

The point is, people who act like they've got like powerful matchmaking skills need to be quarantined in a place far, far away from people with common sense.

yep. its annoying. i have an officemate that match makes me with another officemate...i don't even like the guy and i have made it clear a lot of times!!! im not saying it would be okay if i like the guy cause even if i do, it would still be really awkward.. its so uncomfortable and makes our professional relationship really awkward just because of that...

I totally understand how you feel about this. It's the same reason why I never want to share my feelings about a boy to a fair few of my friends. :|

That's why I didn't tell my best friend (at that time, we're no longer close) that I have a crush on a guy cause that guy is my friend's boyfriend's friend. Every time I look at him I'll fangirl to myself

I totally understand! Just on Friday, my friend "A" and "B" saw my crush in their class. So they dragged me over to him and pushed me. Gawd, it was so embarrassing. I almost fell on him (he didn't notice cause he was in the middle of typing up his essay for class) I've known him for almost a year now? But we didn't really talk til a couple months ago and I just don't want to make things awkward between us. Is it really hard for my friends to understand that?! >.<

I actually think that's cute. But if you haven't noticed, it did make you two closer. So you should thank her.
