"An old friend hooked me up with this 'great guy' that her husband worked with. She neglected to tell me that he was a 'little person.' That was such a major detail to omit, I wish I'd been prepared and could have dealt with the situation a lot better if I'd been forewarned. I was so shocked when I walked into our blind date." -- Sarah, Vancouver

 

"I met a really beautiful girl through an ex-girlfriend and I fell totally in love with her, until I realized she was a bunny-boiler. She stalked me and I even had to get a restraining order to stop her. My ex was so embarrassed and vowed never to play cupid again." -- Sean, Vancouver

 

"I've been set up with guys who have terrible B.O., are really married, have no social skills and still live with their mommy. When someone tells me that they know someone I should meet I just tell them no straight away. I'm fed up of being set up with losers." -- Jenny, Toronto
