    been on a bunch

    a few I had an awesome time

    some I didn't have such an awesome time

    anything else you want to know?

    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.

    The Mrs was a blind date... :mrgreen:

    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...

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

    Kidding - love you honey

    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.

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