Setup
## A Blog post I will probably regret, but need to ink out for sanity reasons alone.
I've never really understood the motivations behind cupid playing. SK is happily in a relationship, so why the non-stop determination to set me up with one of her friends?
A simple 'Err - i don't really want a relationship right now' doesn't wash down, because apparently everybody wants a relationship, whether they know it or not. Then there's the scary stuff -
"She is really nice. Even if you just get a new friend I think you will really like her. She is truly a beautiful person."
Sure, now you've convinced me that you're both fricking crackers, and my enthusiasm for attending your dinner party is waning. To say the least.
But i think i've cracked it: There must be a selfish reason for a setup, as everyone invariably acts in their own self interest. Sometimes it's the favour element, but I reckon i've found another reason. As the person in a relationship settles with the status quo, and the intoxicating joy and hope that surrounds the beggining of a relationship fades, they want it back. Without losing what they have.
Does SK want to relive, behind safety goggles, the initial romance between her and DM?

Another reason - the change in social dynamic when moving from Single to Taken.
When someone transfers to the couples camp, they find themselves with a division of interest (between new partner and old pal). Relationship with the (still single) pal becomes more difficult and guilt-mined.
Match up single pal, they're in the same camp as you, no guilt. Just a thought.
