the best matchmakers

i remember reading an article in the papers regarding friends being the best matchmakers which i undoubtedly agree. reason being that friends know you and their friends much better to know if things may possibly work out between you and their friend as opposed to some machine that runs algorithms, if not random, to "matchmake" 2 strangers that the machine barely knows other than the information provided. and very often, it is the personality information that one is unable to provide to the machine. and very often, it is the personality that counts.
strangely, friends seem reluctant to matchmake 2 people. at least me... T_T how sad is that? and all they ask is, "how come you don't have girlfriend?" well, because you don't introduce anyone to me? but i can't really blame it on them, can i? afterall, i am sometimes too lazy to do the matchmaking for my friends myself though i did try like twice or something. surprisingly though, a female campmate of mine readily provided her sister's contact to whoever asks for it and leave it to them to work things out if possible. and of course, i am not one who goes asking for numbers. i asked for the email so i could spy on her friendster account. that's what professional stalkers do except that there aren't professional stalkers.
