the ex factor

Happy Hump Day!

Here's an interesting Chicago dating event that lets people set their exes up with more compatible matches. Assuming you've broken up amicably and there aren't lingering feelings, it could be a good idea. I mean, if you dated someone for a long time, you have a pretty good idea of who he or she would be attracted to, right?

But I'd be pretty creeped out if I met a guy through his ex-girlfriend's urging. Color me paranoid, but I'd regard any girl still involved in his dating life as competition.

How many exes would you recommend -- confidently -- as a potential romantic match for a friend?

A friend you don't want to be heartbroken and miserable, that is.
