I've been going on dates recently with HB's on dating apps, but none have gone past a couple of dates. One of the primary culprits has been my hectic work schedule (which I've described previously on the forum) - it's not like the HB's know me that well, so the connection eventually dissolves. But with online dating being generally flaky in nature and my schedule not permitting me to go out very often, I've though about asking my friends if they know someone who would be a good match.
Except...I have done this, a while back. And it's always the same responses. "I have no single friends." "Maybe I'll bring it up at some point" (you know they never will)," or they will change the topic. I once mentioned to a friend at his housewarming party if he could help facilitate a date with a girl friend of his that I briefly met...he helped out another friend instead. Another instance, one of my other friends and his then-gf said she had no single friends...only for them to immediately plot a meetup with an acquaintance of ours and her friend.
I feel I'm a perfectly normal guy. I hold down a good job and am close to family. I'm not grotesque, nor do I possess any obvious red flags in my behavior. I've never experienced an ugly breakup, and I've never cheated. Is there a better way I can approach my friends about setting me up? I will of course continue to pursue HB's on my own, but help isn't a bad thing.
