What's the Powder Room?

My photo
These are the deep and meaningful conversations every girl has with her best gal pals...about the guy who just winked at her across the bar, or the last man who broke her heart. These are the conversations we all love being part of and sharing over brunch or a good bottle of pinot or in the powder room of your favourite Saturday night venue...our Powder Room is located at the top of a lofty stair in Kehoe's Bar, Dublin. These conversations are real...names have been changed to protect privacy and avoid shameful blushes (",) I hope you enjoy!!!

Matchmaking friends...a recipe for disaster?

Is matchmaking friends a recipe for disaster?
I'm your ultimate matchmaker, always at it! I don't know what motivates me...maybe karma, the hope if I make my friends happy it will come back to me. My Mum once told me off, claiming if I continue to match-make friends, I'll have none left to socialise with. I don't agree, I love to see people happy, and who better than my friends. I have one wedding and a few couples under my belt...I have had the few mistakes; female friends gone bunny boiler which has made me wonder if it’s more trouble than it’s worth!
I have two rules...firstly, I step back after the first date...they are on their own, that includes no relationship counselling, as I cannot take sides between two good friends. I don’t even ask how things are going; safer that way! Secondly, if the relationship doesn't work, I refuse to accept the excuse from either party not to turn up to something I am organising if the other is there!! After all we are all adults!
Hmmm, I am still awaiting friends to return the favour and wonder why they haven't!
