Can you recommend

... a good pediatrician?
... a good specialist?
... a good restaurant?

... you get the drift. As if, in the first place, I would otherwise recommend someone/something/someplace bad.

Sigh. So I have to ask for basic information before I could even begin somewhere.

- the pediatrician: how old is the patient, what is the medical condition to be looked at.
- the specialist: a specialist in what?
- the restaurant: the list of pertinent information is so long. Occasion, budget, type etc.

I don't bother with the ones looking to me to recommend a good boyfriend/husband.

    i AGREE! i hate to recommend ANYTHING to anyone unless i know them well. even so, must have disclaimers. UGH. there're so many pre-requisite information before i'm able to even give a coherent, logical recommendation for anything!

    edpj - ya lor, like i take responsibility for outcome once i recommend.

    imp - so important to ask the right and relevant questions, or else recommendation is totally off track. aargh...the pressure!

    I'm wary of asking for recommendations because of the concerns you raised. I find it very difficult to put the other party on the spot, so I will state all the disclaimers up front so that he/she will not feel undue pressure.

    It is incumbent on us asking for recommendations to take responsibility for accepting them.

    That being said, I need recommendations for... :D
