Yeah there’s a chance it all goes well but there’s also a huge chance that one person is wildly uncomfortable and is just “going along with it” to make someone else happy. Good intentions and honestly in the end there’s muuuuch worse pranks that could happen to people a little embarrassment or awkwardness is really nothing in the grand scheme of life. Probably healthy honestly…
My dad asked out a woman (his now second wife) out because someone told him that this woman was interested in him. He spent 16 years single and was almost an empty nester so he thought, “maybe it is time”.
She said yes, and it later came out that the person who told him that totally made it up. My step mom and dad gifted them a nice bottle of champagne for setting them up. He would have never asked her out without that confidence boost.
All that is to say, this can work wonderfully. They have been married 15 years at this point. ❤️

I like the sentiment of nice people meeting each other but it puts people in an awkward position under false pretenses. I don’t know, seems off
