Matchmaker Triumphant

I’m always trying to do what Jamaicans call "a set up," or what the rest of the world refers to as match make. I think I can just see when two people will get along. Most times to no avail, sometimes with limited return but every once in a while, success!! How good it is!

There is a lady on TV that has an entire business based on matchmaking and then it occurred to me that Eharmony.com and Match.com are simply matchmaking ecommerce, I could be on to something big. But what I have come to realize is that there are so many factors involved in how people click. I once tried to step up two people on the basis of, one person having tremendous resources and the other needing a resourceful person in their life. That did not work. I once tried to set up two people based on their sharing success in the same profession. That did not work. I once tried to set up two people based on them both being single, that was a colossal failure.

So what worked this time? Well there was an all important meeting of the minds; a vital and very sexy component in my estimation. Then there was a surprise physical attraction, they were so caught up in logistics that they forgot to enquire, “…so what she/he look like?” Plus, expectations were kept at a realistic level and so everything was good karma and moved upwards from that point. Finally and most importantly, I was not there at the initial meeting to interfere with the vibe, so they were forced to make nice all by themselves. Thus, while no one has ridden off the sunset yet, and I haven't incorporated at the local licensing authority, I think a cool friendship has been made. What more could one ask for? Selah.
