Chigirl Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I'm going on a blind date in a couple of days. I have never been set up blindly before. Does anyone have any suggestions or stories?
slubberdegullion Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I've been on a small handful of blind dates myself, and with only one exception, I made new friends. Two developed into deeper relationships. (The one exception was when I found out that she was a crack addict... BUH-BYE!!) Movies probably aren't the best idea, because your attention is on the screen and not on your companion. Clubs are too loud and too busy. Dinner at a nice restaurant and drinks after would probably work well. Maybe check out an art gallery. The list of things to do is as endless as your imagination. So relax. Have fun. Enjoy yourself. If nothing else, you may make a new friend.
buzzie2 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Well I don't have any advice, but I do have a good story about a blind date. I was 19 years old and decided to put an ad in the personals of the local paper. I asked for someone with good manners who didn't smoke and was between 18 and 24. I only got one response and he sounded nice over the phone. We decided to meet at a local restaurant. I spent about 100 dollars on a new dress and shoes. Well he showed up dressed like a bum and the first thing he did was light up a cigarette. He told me I had nice jiggly boobs (puke). After talking to him and figured out pretty quick that he was a real redneck. He lived in the sticks and said his last time being with a woman was when he had an affair with a married woman. He said he got her pregnant but she told him she was going to let her husband think it was his baby. I was getting really turned off, but then he said we could go to the show of my choice. I picked a Jody Foster movie and loved it. After we left the theatre I asked him what he thought of the show and he said he wanted to SPIT in Jodie Fosters face. Well I never went out with him again and he never phoned me back, I think it was mutual. I havent been on a blind date since. Hope you have better luck!! buzzie
