The idea of a matchmaker is great. Someone who knows you well and can pair you up with someone you’ll love. It’s like taking all of the hard work out of dating. But does it really go that smoothly?

According to Us Weekly, recently separated Mariah Carey reached out to her longtime friend Nas about hooking her up with someone new. Since the two have been friends for a while, Nas wouldn’t be the worst matchmaker for Carey, but it’s been reported that he’s nervous to set her up. 

Even if you don’t have a star-studded matchmaking story, we want to know: Have you ever had a good experience with being set up? Take our poll and be sure to tell us all about it in the comments below. We want the good, the bad and the very bad.
