I think the worst part of being a matchmaker is, initially, when I used to set people up, I'd get really excited and invested in that match and I'd call up the first person and they were like, "Oh my god, it was the best match ever." I used to get really wrapped up in the excitement. "Oh yes, I knew it! It's so great!" And then I'll call the other person and the other person's like, "Oh, it's not for me." I'd be devastated to tell this other person, "It was right for them. There was either no chemistry or it just wasn't right because of this and that." That's so sad to let someone know that the other person's not interested. So that's the sucky part. Or if someone's really upset because they like someone, and they're not liked back, or they both like each other but then it breaks up. Those things are really disappointing because you get so wrapped up in your investment, "God, great me, I made such a great match I'm so excited," and they agree. Then it breaks up. But why? Why can't you make it work?
