I agree...this is some kind of petty jealousy talking.  (I'm sure we're missing some context.  I mean, she doesn't just walk up to you and say, "I saw John today.  You know, he's not my type but he's perfect for you.")  But Jabber and I were introduced by a friend (former - no longer - long story) who he'd been in a relationship with.  She kept saying, "I know the perfect guy for you!"  I kept refusing to meet him and finally said, "If he's so great, why didn't you keep him?"  Her answer:  He was boring.


So...she dumped him because he was boring, but he's perfect for me?  How's that for insulting.


Of course, she did eventually bully me into going on a blind date with him.  We never spent another weekend apart from that day until we'd been married for a few years!  Boring Jabber was perfect for me.  :love:


Last I heard, which was granted a long time ago, her life was still a shambles.



She's not the only woman I know who's alone and miserable because they don't have "Mr. Perfect".  I have one friend who's attractive, intelligent, has money - and 4 ex husbands.  She confessed to me the other day she's thinking of selling her house to move into the "mother-in-law suite" at her daughter's house.  She's barely 60...but she's so LONELY.  Always choosing the wrong guys - always ending up alone.  I feel sorry for her.
