Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

I guess it's different when a friend is setting you up compared to maybe one of those online services, which I think would probably be more embarrassing/awkward. The only reason is because I think it sounds like at the time you were "desperate-seeking," but in your case I would say it's fine.

I guess it's just me.

I think 5 or even 3 years ago, your view would have been the same as most, but in the last few years, I think it has been much more accepted by the general public. People are a lot busier with school and their careers these days to spends several nights a week at bars and clubs trying to meet the opposite sex.

Hell, my bro met his fiance on Myspace almost two years ago. They will be married this September.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

Yes. It sucked!

One of my football teammates in high school hooked me and another teammate up with some girls from Livonia, who were friends of this chick he was talking to. We got their numbers and set up a time to meet at the mall that weekend.

So we get there and we can't find the girls. I must tell you that we were looking for some pretty decent looking girls. The one told me she was short and thick and the other said she was tall slender, both trying to add the other little descriptions that would give you the idea they aren't mingers (Yeah I am thick, but I am not fat, I am athletic, people say I look like "insert your favorite r&b singer").


So anyway, after walking around for a few and apparently not seeing them, one calls my cell phone to ask where we are at. While I was about to tell them, I just happened to look up and see two beasts in those flannel jackets that were so popular back in the mid-nineties wandering around the front of Sears. One them was talking on a cellphone. I elbowed my boy Chicago and nodded my head toward their way while trying to come up with a good lie. We were just about to turn around when they turned around and spotted us. They knew us because I stupidly told them what I was going to be wearing.

The short and thick one was short and fat, plain simple. A truly round mound. Short hair full of beadie beads. Beady eyes underneath thick azz eyelids. To top it off, her two front teeth were AWOL. The other was not as bad, but still bad (5-6 shots and I'd probably hit). She was a little taller than me, SUPER skinny without a hint of curves and so black she had to but white gloves on to Oreos so she wouldn't bite her fingers off. Her lips were black as hell too. In fact, I could hardly tell where her lips began and her face skin ended.

So there we were, stuck in Fairlane Mall with absolutely no fear of any dude checking out our "girls". Actually, we weren't so much together as me and Chicago tried to walk away and they kept following us. We went to the pet store and tried to get an exchange. Finally we just were like, we had to go and they tried to hug us goodbye. We quickly parlayed those into friendly daps and went on our way. The teammate that set us up apologizd, but we still had to get him back in the bull ring the next week at practice.

They would call and leae messages on my phone afterwards, but finally got the hint after a couple of weeks when they realized I was not going to pick up that phone.

My girlfriend contacted me via Match, and I don't have a problem telling people that...I personally moved to a new city (ended up so did she), we didn't know many people, etc. It's not easy meeting new people when you're an adult, it's way way different than college.

That being said, I don't think I could meet someone on Myspace...Myspace is way sketchy, dirty, skanky, etc.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

A couple of times, usually when some chick my friend has plans with has a friend who wants to tag along and I help him out.

I've only had one blind date where it was just me and another girl, a friend of mine set us up. It wasn't too bad.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

The only time I'd say I was ever on any situation like a blind date was one time in high school...

My buddy was trying to get with this girl and wanted to go over her house, but she had a friend over that night. So I went along and figured I'd try to hang out with the friend and give my buddy some help.

Well, it turns out, she was a beast (large and ugly). And, worse, she didn't talk.

She was real quiet. I even TRIED to talk to her, thinking maybe she's nice and has hot friends or something. Nope. She was all one word answers and did not start conversations.

I never talked to her again... don't even remember her name or anything like that. I actually fooled around with the girl my buddy was after a few weeks later once he was done with her.



Now that I think of it, I had another situation like that too. Same friend, but he was after a different girl. My friend and the girl (smokin' hot) decided they were going to go to the party of one of our friends... a bunch of other people (including me) were coming along too.

Well, the smokin' hot girl my friend was after said she was hanging out with one of her friends and that she wanted to bring her along... of course, my name comes up as the one who is supposed to keep her company and hang with her.

We went to Wal-Mart before the party and I finally saw the girl... my first thought was "I'm going to need to drink a lot"... she had a decent body... wasn't big or anything and wasn't especially ugly... but she had vitually no chin... it was weird. Her friend told me "she thinks you're cute..."

So I drank enough that I didn't notice, and we fooled around a little.

She was into me I guess... tried to kiss me on the way out of the party(after we had made out for a little) and I just gave her the cheek. I was telling my friends about how i didn't like her and this and that and they said I handled it well... lol.

She tried calling me a few times, but I didn't answer after the first time. I actually didn't know who the hell she was the first time... I forgot her name.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

Never been on a blind date....Met a really awesome girl on myspace once though, except she lives several hundred miles away. We would probably best be friends tho, she's pretty but her butt is about as wide as a barn....

I've been fooling around a little lately with this girl who has a boyfriend (he's an *** to her tho)....everything was great, just having some fun....then she ditched him and i find out now she's got feelings

damn....think it's over! ha!

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

I've been to a LOT of blind dates...most of them didn't go well, but 3-4 went pretty well. The last one was the best - I met my wife

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

How did it go?
Where did you go?
Do you still speak to them?

- First one went well
- Movies (the 3rd Matrix movie cause she was a fan)
- No. She led me on and told me she didn't want to date anyone, which was just a cover up because she was dating someone else for the last 2 dates we went on. We ended up becoming best friends for 3 years, and she stayed with that guy....until she turned into a raging lesbian. And her psycho g/f made her turn on me, so I don't talk to her anymore, and I don't give a damn about her.

- Second one was the step-daughter of the lead guitarist from Mushroomhead. It went ok
- Moves (Little Man...her choice, and she rightfully apologized for picking it afterwards, haha)
- I don't talk to her. She just was not my style in the least bit

- Third one went very well.
- Dinner, Movies, and back to my place to watch TV and talk
- We went out for 8 months, broke up cause she cheated on me, then got back together 5 months later more or less because she claimed to still have feelings for me and couldn't watch me date someone else....we broke up two months later because she admitted that she doesn't think of me in that way and we agreed the friendship is more important than anything else. And that is the truth because if we kept trying to date, it wouldn't go well with my anxiety and all knowing that more than likely she was going to cheat on me again because she is an admitted sex-addict. So we're best friends, even if she does literally make me wanna hurt myself at times because she tends to be a bit mean and I don't handle well (and I know its a problem and its being dealt with)

Get away from the nymphos, BJF....trust me.

Get away from the nymphos, BJF....trust me.

Oh I know. It always seems like a dream as a guy to go out with one, and then when you do...yeah, not good. It's kinda hard to find any wholesome girls, though. We guys get typecast as always being pigs, but I'm beginning to notice some similar themes among females and I can't find many girls that aren't borderline nymphos.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

My ex-best friend (the one that came back to me and we got to be close friends again) was/is/seems to be a nympho. We were never physical but it got to a point where all I did was concern myself about the people she was associating with, the places she'd be going, etc. She finally found someone that used to work for my brother and pretty much tossed me aside, yet this guy has been through a hundred girls, even making one buy him a 360 and PS3 before tossing her to the curb the next week.

I wrote her an e-mail briefing her on those things, and giving her one last warning on how much I'm worried, and told her it's her life but I'm not going to sit around and watch her throw it away.

Oh well, to get back on topic;

No blind dates, don't think I could ever do that.

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

Yea when another girl sets you up with one of their friends and she say's "Oh she's cute/nice looking, might as well throw the flag on that play lol

Yea like my man CHarles Barkley says

"If they say a player is a hustler, that means he can't play. Just like if they say a girl has a good personality means she is butt ugly"

Re: Anybody on Here Ever Been On A Blind Date?

Hah, that story reminds me of another experience we had. I was 17 and my friend was 16. He knew some 15 y/o girls from a neighboring HS and he wanted me to double date w/ him. Well, there were 3 girls and they all sat in the backseat as we drove to the movies. The girl who sat in the middle was creeping the hell out of me cause I could see her eyes in the rearview mirror; she didn't blink at all and she just looked like she was going to start speaking in tongues. The other two were just annnnnnoying, stereotypical HS girls.

We get to the movie theater and the girls said they wanted to play in the rain puddles, and my friend apologized for getting us stuck with them. So we quickly went inside and bought tickets to a different movie and just bolted inside. To this day I have never seen those girls again
