My mate is late 40's, single except for a local divorcee he chases who isn't really that interested but puts out for him once in a while when he has spent enough time and money on her and the kids.

Anyway, there is a woman in our village, divorcee, early 50s but attractive (slim, well turned out, gym bunny), kids grown up and left, good fun, quite smutty and frankly pretty keen to find a man. She tells me she is now after a bloke for a LT relationship (hopefully that wasn't a hint that I should play ball) and was considering the dating sites.

They work in the same job so would have something in common.

Common sense says I hook them up as they can probably relieve each others tensions. But she is a terrible flirt in every domain of her life who has binned two live-in blokes in the 5 years I have known her. She flirts with any man who gets within 100 paces irrespective of their relationship status or age (at the last get together she was bumping and grinding with a 74 years old bloke collecting the bottles without his consent and in front of his wife). She has a reputation at work as being on the hunt, often has her babs out on display and is too tactile for most wives to be comfiortable around if you get my drift.

So do I introduce them?

Introduce them.

If you were my mate and you didn't I'd never forgive you.

It's for your pal to assess the situation and make it work for him.

You're wrong to suggest that she should be judged on the blokes she's kicked out, we don't know what sort of tossers they were.

If your mate is after a short term relationship, warn him and introduce them.

If he wants more, you should ask yourself whether you are really his mate or not.

I think you should explain to her that you have this "mate" and that he insists on you trying her out first just to make sure she's a go'er.


Then report back

Don't know but the bike sounds like a fun ride!

...but why set your mate up with a 'mental'?!

Usually when a girl sets you up with a 'friend' its the most boring, wall flower, frigid, ice maiden she knows...

...blokes on the other pick the biggest slut on the radar hehe

Who, once thawed out and suitably charmed tend to be very, very good sports in the sack, when it eventually happens. Half-decent relationships often ensue.

Whereas men will set you up with said easy/available lays, but fail to qualify what she's looking for beyond that - hencely the bloke ends up perceiving himself at the wrong end of of an episode of "The Mental" (hate the term BTW).

Women tend to be far more successful at setting compatible couples together. Let them. Men are woeful at it.

My own field research backs these findings up wink

Do it, you're in a no-lose situation.

If they hit it off great.

If they don't, fine they are grown adults.

I think I might mention her in passing and see what interest there is (and vice versa). On paper they are a good match but in reality as my OH thinks she is a slut and potential husband stealer I am thinking them being an item could caise short/medium term difficulties for me.
