Why do people feel like they have to take responsibility for the relationship status of their friends?
Fun as it can be to gossip about relationships and dating, the love lives of our friends are only our business if they make them our business. Unless they ask for our help or explicitly accept the offer, playing matchmaker is often a risk that doesn't pay off. Just because you have decided that a certain person would be perfect for them doesn't mean that they will be.
Meeting a partner in real life is supposed to be making a comeback—if many singles are to be believed, the dating app fatigue is real enough that it makes the scariness of talking to people out in the wild more of a plausible option. There are plenty who are looking for love who would be delighted for a friend to introduce them to someone at a party or recommend an acquaintance who they think they would get along with. The key distinction, though, is that they have to be looking for a relationship. Despite what society tells us, it is not such a crazy idea to be happily single.
For those who are certain that they enjoy being on their own, any attempt to set them up is likely to be annoying to them. It is wise not to let the romcoms go to your head, and respect the way that they feel. If you don't, you might not just have a disagreement, but also disappoint another person as well.
