Thanks, but no thanks

It's one thing for your friends to drag you to a bar hoping you'll finally meet that special someone. But creating a Web site touting your dating appeal?

I think that crosses the line.

Here, Glamour tells us about a girl whose friends made a Web site to find her a date. It's not the first time I've heard of this phenomenon. I know some real-life people who have had friends do the same thing.

Yes, it's sweet, and in some respects I'd appreciate friends set on curbing my post-breakup tendency to indulge in "Two and a Half Men" reruns.

Nonetheless, it's one thing to get somebody back in the saddle, but it's another thing to force them to ride a rodeo blindfolded.

Sometimes pushy friends can unknowingly force you to get back on the dating circuit before you're ready. Their good intentions end up only making you feel panicked.

Their Web sites can boast all your wonderful qualities, but you'll only be able to demonstrate those qualities if dating is something you really truly want.
