I have a lot of girl friends who are singles and are already ready for a long lasting commitment. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to find Mr. Right on their own so some of them ask for help. My husband and I have some guy friends here who are just inspired by our relationship and would like to try their luck with asian singles and sometime they come to me and ask me if I know anybody.

I had a bad experience with playing cupid and I’ve learned from it but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with introducing single friends to each other. I actually think it’s good and that is not because I believe in the old Chinese belief that luck will be brought to those who successfully helped arranged a successful union/relationship. For me, it’s just nice to see two of my friends falling in love with each other.

Good old “waiting for Mr./Ms. Right” is not bad but for those who’ve been waiting for so long, I think they have to do something to stop their waiting. I think they should be proactive at finding someone who can be their partner for life. We are very modern these days. Other than sitting in a bar and hoping that the cute guy will notice you, there are also other ways to meet someone–go out more often, join a group, ask a friend if he/she knows somebody, or go online and try some dating sites… the possibilities are endless.
