Please HELP!!!

Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

An old school friend of mine emailed me on facebook today saying this:

"I have a friend who is single and your name popped into my head the other night. If you aren't with anyone I was just wondering if I could pass on your number to him? Hope your well."

Im not really into this "matchmaking" business - though at the same time don't want to et a possibly good opportunity to meet a good guy pass me by.

I feel quite torn about this as part of me feels that my old class mate may have heard about my ex fiancé and I breaking it of (as I live in a small community and news travels fast - who knows what was said) and that he has already /possibly relayed to his friend.

I know i am being paranoid though at the same time I don't want to just jump into a relationship that could possibly lead to another heartbreak - I just don't think I'll be able to take it and I'd rather save myself the pain.

Though I feel that I am being wrong in not taking this opportunity I feel like i should possibly ask for more information on this "friend" of his (thought??) - though don't want to come across as a stuck up cow once I find out who he is and may possibly know them and would rather not want to get involved with them.

Plus if I do agree to it what if things don;t work out with his friend and I - Things would forever be awkward between my old classmate and I. As I said I know I am over analyzing things though want to ask what would you all do in this situation? Any advice would be huuuugely appreciated.

I am feeling so confused and frustrated right now that I can't think straight! I hate this feeling that my ex has on me by feeling that getting involved in another relationship with someone i mutually know may end up in another bad relationship! :(

Please help!!!!!
