"Ever" is forever and to say I would never do something seems a bit abnormal and unrealistic. I can think of situations where I might but then the odds of my ever being in one of them is a long shot, but still a shot. In general though I would most likely NOT ask someone I would just make it known I was single and looking and if THEY offered I might accept.

It has never worked for me, and at least once, I believe I was 'pranked'. No more! (I've got this one...don't ever want or need any help with this part of Life..)
Nah, Never really had problems getting dates so not for me, but can understand others who would. Would ask for help getting out of them cause I'm a wussy
It depends. If it were my older brother or sister playing cupid I might consider it. Even then I would still be a bit suspicious of the person they are trying to hook me up with.
All my friends are trying to set me up with a date and that pisses me off... I want the love bug to hit me on the head like a flower pot falling from a window during a storm...

Everytime someone tried to set me up with a guy just made me ask - what did I do to this person that they would even consider remotely that I would be interested in a guy like that?

Coupled-up people can sometimes think we are single because we have no options.
They fail to see that we are single because we do, actually.

Hiya serene, it wasn't even that - in my case my mum thought someone "would suit" and this guy would make me run screaming. With friends, they were singles and just thought that one of their friends would fit, but we had nothing in common and them thinking we could be suitable just made me think HUH?!?

My friend had a date with a guy she liked and asked me to go along as he had a friend, a blind date for me, so yes why not, hit it off with my blind date, had a laugh for a few months.

I can just see myself weaseling out of the relationship when things start to go south with: "well you were not even my choice anyways. It was John Doe/Jane Doe who thought we would be good for each other." And by the way: give me back my alimony!
Sure I've been at a party (for example) and have seen a woman whom I thought I'd like to meet so I asked the host or a mutual friend to introduce us at an opportune moment.
But that's just ordinary intelligent social behaviour, isn't it?
