DATING is a complicated game. You could go on a million first dates and still not find someone you’re compatible with.
Well, in a video shared on social media, one woman revealed she uses a matchmaker to help her find love – and even then, it didn’t go as planned.
Sam O’Connor admitted that she uses a matchmaking service because she “hates dating apps.”
Her matchmaker, who goes by Nikki, will text her to set her up on dates with potential love interests.
Well, one time, she received a text from Nikki saying: “Hi Sam! I hope you are having a good weekend.
“What does this Thursday and or Wednesday look like for you in the evening?”

Thinking her matchmaker was trying to set her up on a date, she responded: “Hi Nikki! Great to hear from you. I can make both those evenings work.”
The two went back and forth about what time would work before Sam asked her matchmaker: “Do I get some more details about who I’m meeting, or is it a big surprise?”
Nikki responded with a photo of a four-month-old baby, and though Sam was a bit confused, she said congrats and went along with it.
Wanting to confirm yet again that she was going on a date, she asked: “Just to confirm this is for a date, right?”

Nikki confirmed and Sam wrote: “Haha okay! The baby was a good diversion.”
The matchmaker responded with “Haha it is!”
After further discussing their plans, Nikki asked Sam if they could call and chat about the “date” they were planning.
Well, turns out, Sam wasn’t texting her matchmaker but a completely different woman who was looking for a babysitter and had the same name as the dating expert.
“This person was asking me to babysit,” Sam revealed.
“That baby was not a diversion, why did she laugh along with that?”

“I couldn’t get out of it so I babysat for her the next night, and yup, still single.”
As to whether Nikki the matchmaker has set her up on any dates, that’s yet to be found out.
