Step #8: How to Ask for a Set-Up
Remember that old story about Cyrano de Bergerac?
Trust me, you’ve heard it before even if you don’t recognize the
name. It’s about a guy wooing a girl … and one of his friends is
hiding under the balcony feeding him lines. Nothing worth
doing is ever done solo, so why should dating be any different?
Your friends can play matchmaker for you. They’ll even be
thrilled to do it, because who doesn’t love seeing two people
hit it off? Plus it makes them look good when their
recommendation is a hit.
Did you ever hear the story about the supermodel and the
rockstar who couldn’t find a date? It’s true. Iman and David
Bowie got hooked up by their mutual hairstylist after
complaining to him that they were unlucky in love. They were
happily married for over twenty years. Goes to show you even
famous people need matchmaking help from a friend
sometimes.
