Grammar
Match/suit
Is it correct to say (about 2 people,) this way:
We don't match each other.
We don't suit each other.
I mean the situation:
I was on a date the night before, and somebody asks me next day:
How was the date?
Can I answer: It was ok, but we don't match eatch other.
Thanks for replies.

"We don't match each other" would be understood, but it's uncommon in the US. We'd more likely say, "We're a bad/poor match." "We're not a good match."
