We had tried to offer helps and advices to hook him up with some girls.  Normally, a single person would show at least some interest to those girls or reflect the question by claiming he already has potential dates.  However this friend of mine always dodge those conversations, that makes us even more curious on the true reason behind his single status.  If his claim of being a straight normal man is is true, I couldn&#8217;t understand why he never show any interest to any girls.  Too bad that the relationship between him and one of the two other single female coworkers doesn&#8217;t work out.  Either (or both) of them should be quite a perfect match for him.
