people got enough issues - and plenty to deal with
Why would you come up with the squirrelly idea that this was somehow 'helping'?

Well, actually .. kinda' did.
And still think .. from a stranger, in a happy hour environment (or most other environments for that matter) ... ? Whoa, pull up on 'em reins, pardner!
But, I'll allow as you probably meant well - even if a generally bad idea - and the good thing is that no one got hurt. (at least tonight) So - more than willing to call it a wash.

Peace. And have a good night, friend!

A single remark to nudge one or both can't hurt. I think you did alright.

I hate drama.

I guess everybody's got to have a hobby, though. Do whatchawannado.

10. OK, gave the piling on enough rope to stop kicking the thread, only way is Self-Delete. OP here:

***** OP:

To butt in or not - matchmaking or not

So, new Happy Hour server, quiet, air of I've-had-a-tough-life-am-doing-a-job. She was attentive. Late in the Happy Hour a dude arrived and there was obviously some kind of connection vibe. Somebody was dominant.

So my -dar kicked in and the dude did his dude thing about not interacting yet being somewhere there.. But eventually he went outside to smoke and I asked (none of my business), are you all something and she said yes, but there was some kind of complication. What could it be, the predictable things like somebody's married, kids are somewhere, what. None of my business. Some hurt in the air somewhere.

So post-smoke, dude back, and I say (not supposed to say unasked for things), you all are a purty couple. He didn't deny it. Should I continue with this?
