Introduced your friend to another friend and they became better friends

Have you ever introduced your friend to another friend and they became better friends with each other than you?

Has this ever happened to you and what did you do? Do you still keep introducing your friends to your other friends? This has happened to me maybe once or twice. I'm just wondering if this has ever happened to you.

Ha. definitely. It's happened to me. I don't introduce friends to each other often, because I don't get the chance to. And I know I shouldn't be selfish, so I still continue to do it anyways.

Considering I have about 3 or 4 friends who all already know each other, no.

I'm always the one who gets introduced and then gets along better.

No...but then again, usually I'm the one being introduced.

I only have a couple of friends and they are so vastly different, I wonder if they would get along. One is retired in Hawaii and the other was in TX last I heard (and I am currently in TN), so introductions would be tough. I call one the "hippie" and the other the "domme". It would be entertaining if nothing else....

I miss those gals.

This happens to me on a regular basis.
I have to admit that when I was younger this bothered me; however, now that I'm older the bottom line is that I cannot control how other people act. However, I CAN control how I REACT.
Why does this happen? The best I can figure is because I'm not as "exciting" or "fun" to be around as the vast majority of the population.
"Exciting" and "fun" would never happen if the infrastructures weren't in place for those activities to take place. ... and guess who's responsible for seeing to it that things get taken care of FOR those infrastructures? Us ISTJ's.

RE: Control how I react--what an awesome statement!

OT: Maybe this happens to me...I dunno. It does not cause me to feel threatened if it does happen, since it is up to me to invest more in the relationship if I want to see it improve.

I've done this. In fact, I introduced a pair of friends who ended up becoming a couple that has lasted for three years (well, except there have been some break-ups in between). I'm not sure that they will ever get married though (since there have been a high number of problems in the relationship).

I guess this has happened to me. Keep in mind that people always welcome a new friend and sometimes a change can be fun and interesting. ISTJs are extremely loyal friends and they will remain with you even after the novelty wears off.
