ave you ever played matchmaker for a friend? It is always a gamble. You never know if your efforts will result in a true love connection, but that gamble paid off for Ebony. See, Ebony is Richard’s cousin and best friends with Charlyne. She knew Richard and Charlyne would be perfect for one another, so she sent them a group text message with their pictures attached! Charlyne recalls, “The text read ‘Rich meet Charlyne, Charlyne meet Rich - have your way Lord…’ “ Charlyne replied with a simple, "Lol!!, Hi Richie..." and got no response! After two week with no reply, she called Richard out, and he promptly apologized. Turns out, he replied to her text, but failed to hit “send.”
