oh, thoughts:
*don't put a whole lot of 'expectation' on the date
*admit you're nervous-helps break the ice
*if you're not having a good time, then don't be afraid to end it early
*I usually met for drinks, if I liked them, I'd suggest 'grabbing a bite to eat'. If the guy turned out to be a loser I had an easy out..."I don't want to drink too much, I have to drive"
I'll think of more...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Wife and I met on a blind date - so - they're not a great idea.

i was never more happy to see the cops looking for me at the end of the night.
we're gonna need details
way way way back in college. we went bowling..and i was totally not into her physically or mentally.
somebody knocked my motorcycle over in teh parking lot, not sure why...and somebody called the cops...a page came over the speaker system asking for the owner of the motorcycle to go to the front desk. i went, they told me...what was going on and that i needed to go look at my bike to see if there was any damage. so i said a quick goodbye to the chick and hightailed it out of there.

i know..not that exciting.
at least he didn't piss on the bike after he knocked it over :P
this other chick...she was cute...we went out to dinner at tgif's...crap food i know...but when you are poor, it's not so bad. anyways, we had dinner, then got a movie and went back to my place....never did see the end of that movie.

I really enjoyed doing them... I put a lot of effort to make my date feel at ease and never did just "meet me for a drink" thing...
I am a huge foodie, so usually use the date as an excuse to try out a new restaurant...
True story. I had a blind date with BD and he was a perfect gentleman. Even more, it was a double date -- as in one dude (BD) two chicks. We were both at ease and had a fantastic time. Play on, playa
been on many. had a blast on each and every one of them, even the horrorific ones were good as it fills one with knowledge of how some folks are totally out of their damn minds.
this one gal i had met at her home was clearly out of control. beyond foul to be honest with you. i ran and i ran fast. i am a caring sensitive dude, i did not want to hurt her feelings at all. so i told her i had a change of heart and that i was feeling guilty as i was married and that i had to scoot and now.
i was not married and never have been.
she called me every single name in the book.
but it got me out and away from that maniac of a woman.
i have had very successful blind dates. they were very nice women.

Haven't read everyone's stories but I maybe have a blind date, or blind meet up so to speak happening next week!! A friend said to me last week "how do you feel about blind dates?" I'm like yeah whatever, I've done internet dating, done speed dating so why not. Turns out a work colleague of hers' brother's single & a total music lover he lives down the line a bit(about 6 hours drive away) but he comes up here all the time to go to bands including one later this week. I don't want to go to the gig this week but my friend said she'll see if she can invite me to the drinks beforehand & then I have to make sure I talk to the brother. I've checked him out as much as poss on fb etc, he doesn't have much in his profile but I think I've seen some pics of him through the sister's page & he looks nice s we'll see. X fingers!
Other than that, never been on a blind date before but yeah done plenty of Internet dating + speed dating which is so much fun! No lasting luck from either thing, obviously!!

Still, worst date to date was someone I knew and previously dated (dated in High school.. and them tried again after my divorce).

Make the best of it and good luck, dear!
I did date a chick with glasses though so I guess it was a vision impaired date.
