title: Asking For A Friend
author: Blakely, Lauren
description: I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again.
  I knew what she wanted in a man -- smart, funny, ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked game of badminton.
  So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time — I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks.
  But then
  he
   responded.
  Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.
