While dating apps, offices, and other random places can be great places to meet the knight in shining armour, getting your forever bachelor or unmarried woman friend as a partner can be a magical power only you possess.

Experts believe pairing your single mutual friends is an exciting dating idea that can lead them to a fairytale romance together.

Most friends are like-minded; that is how they have remained friends. So, pairing a duo who shares your ideas and goals might be the perfect match. But before the prince finds Cinderella’s glass slippers, you must host a ball.

Everything You Need to Know When Matchmaking Your Single Mutual Friends

Despite what may be a flawless connection, anything or everything can go wrong when matchmaking your single mutual friends. But there are ways you can handle the situation before it gets out of hand.

First, you must know your friends’ likes, dislikes, and potentials when setting them up with that person. An expert in couple matters, Lee Philips, maintained that knowing your friends’ “types” is non-negotiable when committed to the pairing business.

Note that you must also take things easy and know when to accelerate. However, you should take the back burner once you set up your single mutual friends on a date.

Let the two consenting adults decide on the next date, especially after their first. Also, do not be quick to suggest when you see that one person is not really into the date. Note that not every first date leads to a love relationship.

In your desperation to pair your single mutual friends, remember that they may not work out, but you may still need to keep your friendship with both parties. It may seem awkward for some time, but that is one of the risks you may be willing to take.

Also, remember, if they ever get married, you will forever be credited for their happily-ever-after romance, and that’s quite a reward.

So the choice is yours!
