writes:I recently made a friend at work and we seem to have enough similar interests to form a real friendship. He knows I have a boyfriend and does not seem to be interested in me romantically, but is constantly asking me to set him up with my friends, or put in a good word for him to co-workers, even my boss. I don't know him that well, nor the people at work he's interested in, so I feel kind of awkward doing this. I told him I didn't want to feel responsible if the lady in question isn't interested, so then he started looking at my friends' list and asking the status of some of my female friends. He brings up me setting his up with someone every time we have a real conversation. I wonder that he only wants to befriend me to get laid through me, Plus, I assumed at first he was new to the city and didn't have anyone else yet, but I found out he grew up here, so why does he need someone who's pretty much a stranger to get dates? Should I break off contact?

 I have a friend exactly like this. He goes through my facebook list, picks a girl and demands I set them up, and then guilt trips me when I say no because he'd do it for me. The way I get out of it (which may not be the best way) is by telling him they all have boyfriends. I would just tell this guy that you're not comfortable with set ups and would prefer for him to make his own relationships and see what he says. If he's hurt by it then just distance yourself from him a bit. There are plenty of dating websites online and plenty of places he could meet girls. He doesn't need you to do it for him.
