Admin	Blind dates that should never happen Posted : 19 Dec, 2008 05:45 PM I've only been on one blind date. My friend was working at a place where she befriended another girl and the 3 of us started hanging out, at the time I was the only single girl in the group (well...kinda, the "other" girl was actually in a triangle relationship...wasn't a pretty thing) Anyways...the other girl insisted I needed a boyfriend and kept on asking if she could set me up on a date, after about the 30th time of telling her no (I didn't trust her instincts for obvious reasons) I finally gave in just so she would stop annoying me about it. I got set up with "a really nice guy at work who is also a Christian, you guys are perfect for each other!" I said I'll meet him at the local zoo, nice safe public place to walk around in... Met him there, didn't feel any attraction but thought I'd give it a go anyhow. I asked about a million and one questions to see if we had anything in common (ok, it wasn't that many...and yes I did take a breath, he had plenty of time and opportunities to ask his own questions) I wonder if he went on this blind date just to appease this girl too? Anyways, nearly every question was answered within 3 syllables He never asked me a single question He only seemed to be capable of following my lead instead of doing any leading himself....as in "Lets go look at this! I like these"....I'm pretty sure he really didn't like anything at all No, doesn't seem we had a single thing in common, other than the fact that we read a few of the same books. Thats ok, I'm fine with someone who has different interests than I. But I'm a little bit disturbed by someone whose older than me (mid-20's) and still living with his mother and driving her car to work because he spent ALL of his money on anime. And to top it off, he needed someone to drive him to the zoo, which was only a few miles from his workplace, because he didn't know how to drive to anyplace beyond work and home because he was afraid of getting lost. Never heard back from him, but she later told me that he liked me and was interested on going out on another date. Huh? he did? I seriously couldn't tell! After that she tried to set me up on another blind date, I refused, she ended up dating the guy herself because he had a crush on her....turns out he was really into heavy metal music and Grand Theft Auto and and anything nice and bloody. Anyone else with some bad blind date stories? If you're wondering, no I'm not writing off blind dating...I'm just writing off blind dates set up by people who don't share the same values as I do.

angel_in_mn View Profile History	Blind dates that should never happen Posted : 22 Dec, 2008 02:25 PM No, I have never been on a blind date. That is the reason I was hesitant to try this site because I guess you could consider it a possible blind date if you decided to meet someone. I don't think I would actually want someone to set me up on a blind date. Post Reply
Elisa View Profile History	Blind dates that should never happen Posted : 1 Jan, 2009 11:24 PM Your blind date sounds as memorable as mine. After friends began insisting they knew the perfect guy for me and wanted to set me up, beginning in August, I finally gave in on Halloween. He took me to the movies and then to a party. The movie was a horror film, and was simply dreadful. But, on the whole, the best part of the evening. I knew nothing of the party that was to follow until the truck was bumping down a dirt road into the middle of nowhere. We ended up in a lovely little run down trailer packed with what seemed to be half the students from the college. Music screamed and drinks flowed freely. My delightful date proceeded to overindulge and was soon reduced to crawling. Other things were getting out of hand as well. He felt that the movie and party entitled him and some friends to certain priviledges with me. When I decided enough was enough, the walk back to town seemed the better of options available. Hiking back, fuming the entire way, I determined that I had just experienced my first and last blind date. Thankfully, God watched over me and other than a bruised pride and some blisters, I escaped unscathed. Post Reply
View Profile History	Blind dates that should never happen Posted : 5 Jan, 2009 05:14 PM I have gone on one blind date but it was a group date. He was very shy, I did pull him out of this shy state though. We dated off and on for a year. I did learn a lot from this date, and it sounds like you girls did too. But this online dating is kinda like blind dating. But I have heard a lot of good things coming out of it, including a few marriages. Well who knows. Post Reply

dacoolman View Profile History	Blind dates that should never happen Posted : 21 Feb, 2009 01:17 PM I've been on one blind date, but mine was also a group date. I actually liked the girl that set me up with another girl, I just never told her. Anyway, the date was at a bowling alley, and there was no chemistry between me and the girl my friend set me up with. I actually was talking to my friend more than the girl. Later I did tell my friend I liked her, and she liked me too, but she had a boyfriend. She still has the same boyfriend too today. It was my first blind date, but I'm not saying it's my last yet. Usually my sister knows my taste in girls almost dead on....it's weird. So if I go on a blind date again, my sister will probably be the one who set me up with her lol. Post Reply
