Question:

Scenario: Let's say a up-and-coming gentleman's family believes strongly that said young man should pursue a relationship with a certain young lady and they find that the young lady's family feels the same about the need for the two to pursue a relationship. Is it appropriate to manipulate said souls into pursuing one another or would it be better to be more forward and to the point.

What in the blazes happened to your blog?

Answer:

I deleted it.  You were warned.  The last 4 posts were about my life-crisis. It was bound to happen.

I'm recovering.

Next question.
