What does it mean when your buddy "sets you up"

I talked to the guy today just a little bit, and that's pretty much what he has in mind. Keep in mind that I haven't hung out with this guy outside of work, so it's not like he would invite both of us to the same event.

I'm sorry, I forgot some people are stuck in third grade :/
Seriously, to the OP.... it's guys that go with your approach, that make very very average guys like me (maybe even below average?) seem so confident/cool/attractive/unattainable/insert your own word ... for the simple fact that confidence in yourself (or at least a very good portrayal of what it might look like) gives others confidence in you, and they tend to believe whatever you say/do. It makes them wonder, if he's not afraid of being rejected by me... he probably thinks he's above me... is he above me? Did he notice that I put on 2lbs... I bet he hates the shape of my eyebrows...he's probably dated prettier girls than me... is he even really that into me? He is so hot and mysterious.
It's so simple... you know what you should do, stop being afraid...

Looks like either Monday or Tuesday I'll be asking her out for a date for next weekend. I'll keep you guys updated.

no, I was referencing your buddy. The whole "my friend thinks you are cute" routine might have been cool in elementary school, but um, whatever. If you are so into her and not socially crippled, why would you need someone else to talk to her for you?

I already stated this earlier. I'm not looking for a piece of tail, I'm interested in a relationship. When all you want is sex, you generally want a fairly good-looking girl who is preferably without any STDs. When you're looking for a relationship, you generally want to see if you're compatible with the other person. I can't think of any way of asking her what she is looking for in a guy, and having a buddy do it solves the issue. I already know a whole lot more about her than I would have been able to find out on my own. And so far so good.
Tak - it's only as awkward as you make it... it's a pretty small thing to ask someone if they want to grab a drink/coffee after work, it would only cause problems if you huddled in the corner masturbating and punching yourself if you were rejected.

Nevermind, you're hopeless. Here's a novel idea, see if your compatible by TALKING the gal... You need a third party to get a quality relationship? Is it really the girl you're interested in?
Appears not. Don't be such a prick!
