The Hook Up...

Let's revert to lightheartedness today...
See the Blog Title...
Also known as matchmaking...very serious something...
I just checked out www.mynewhitmanwrites.com to see whats new and had a good laugh...
I think i will just copy and paste so i do not miss any details...then add my thoughts below...

"Hello Myne,

Compliments of the season,
I stumbled into your blog site and I find it very interesting. I must say congratulations on all you have achieved. I will like to know if you are involved in matching persons who are interested in marriage. If no, can we try something out through you ?
I am a Nigerian medical doctor currently in the Carribean. I visit the US regularly, and my ultimate goal is to move over there, so I am looking earnestly for a suitable wifey at this time.

Many thanks, Peter Branson ( Not real name )

If you are interested, please send me an email at myne@mynewhitman.com and we'll take it from there. If you know someone who may be but doesn't read this blog, do share. Please only serious comments and emails, thanks."

So yes, if you are interested send that email fast...Myne has a good blog follower-ship...
I am not a big fan of match making. I know it is a very effective means to meet people but i have only ever had bad experiences and i will share one...
I and a friend of mine tried to hook up mutual friends a few years ago...I knew the He and she knew the She...
I assumed because she was great with kids at church she would be a real sweetie, even though i did not know her personally...
It was a disaster...I actually wrote to the "He" with heading "Disclaimer"...explaining how i did not know her personally and i was sorry, blah blah...
It was hilarious...

I know people who match making has worked for...happily married and all...
Matter of fact my mother told me of a few of my "uncles and aunties" she hooked up when they were younger...
The thing with match making is you must know both parties well enough...Have an Idea of what they want in a partner...then see if you can find them a match among your circle of friends...
What happens when they do not hit it off...You now have two disgruntled friends...
So if someone emails Myne now, how does she go about this?
Myne met her husband online by the way so i reckon she is a Pro...but kai...

As final thoughts, there is a popular radio programme i listen to on my drive home from work, its called "Sharing Life issues with Chaz B".
It is on InspirationFM daily between 7 pm and 8pm, well on Tuesday's show, Chaz announced he is setting up a Christian online dating site for people to meet and mingle...
I thought hmmmm but Many of the callers to the programme were ecstatic, Chaz has been running this show for 3-4 years so he knows what he is on about...
So there is a huge market for "hook ups" out there...Business wise sef too...oh there a small fee to sift the serious contenders from the jokers...
I also heard speed dating has landed in Lagos...
For those of you who do not know what speed dating is about...Google is your friend...
It is brutal out there...hilariously brutal...
Ok o....People like and share this post so "Mr Branson" can meet some one...
Now wondering if Myne will provide updates...

Love in Cyberspace...
