Have you met Ted?

"Have you met Ted?" is the name of a fictional game featured on the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother. The name refers to the character of Ted Mosby, but is most often used by his close friend Barney Stinson. Barney believes that it is his solemn duty as a "bro" to look out for Ted's romantic interests; or at the very least, help him to get laid. Ted is often nervous and shy when it comes to meeting women, so when Barney and he are in a bar (usually MacLaren's), Barney will steer Ted towards a viable and unsuspecting woman and open with the line, "Have you met Ted?" He then quickly disappears, leaving Ted to fend for himself. It is through the game of "Have you met Ted?" that Ted first met Robin Sherbatsky, a woman he dated for a brief period then became really close friends with.
